Jenna Bush Hager and Husband Henry Say Son Hal, 5, Is ‘Jealous of Our Romance’ — and Will Start Crying When His Parents Kiss

Jenna Bush Hager's son is a little jealous of her relationship with husband Henry Hager.

On a Friday, March 28 episode of Today with Jenna & Friends, the mom of three, 43, was joined by husband Henry Hager, 46, as a guest co-host. The couple, who shares son Hal, 5, and daughters Mila, 11, and Poppy, 9, joked about how their youngest gets a little upset when the two show affection.

"We are in this moment — and I wonder if any of y’all relate — where our youngest son is jealous of our romance," Bush Hager began. "Do you want to talk about what happened?"

"Well, most recently, as an example, we were in the kitchen and he was eating and everybody was quite happy and we went over and I gave you a kiss," recalled Henry. "Just a nice little kiss. I gave you a peck."

"It wasn’t even a French kiss," Bush Hager insisted.

"Hal just started bawling crying. His face, he was all smiles eating, and then it was just…" Henry said, trailing off as Bush Hager added, "devastation."

"It was as if Hal and I are dating and you swiped in and stole him from me," Bush Hager joked. "And Henry goes, ‘Hal, just to be clear, the reason you’re born is ‘cause your mom and I like each other.’"

Henry said that after that, he went in for another kiss.

"Just to antagonize the poor guy," Bush Hager teased.

"I wanted to let him know there’s boundaries in this house and he can’t move in on my wife," joked Henry.

Earlier this week, Bush Hager was again joined by her husband as a guest co-host and the two received a sweet message from their three kids as they took the stage.

In the video, Henry got some support and good luck wishes from his kids. "I bet you’re gonna do the best," Hal said to his dad.

"Dad, good luck and do what you practiced in the car because it was really good!" Mila hilariously said. "Good luck, Dad!"

After watching the video, Henry called the message "so sweet."

"You managed to get our kids into the Today show," he added. "Well, it’s your favorite thing, right?" Jenna asked her husband.

"Not really," Henry admitted. "But that was so sweet."
