More On:

Hoda Kotb admitted she “sometimes” has anxiety thinking about her older age as she raises her two young girls.

But the “Today” show co-anchor, 58, who shares adopted daughters Haley Joy and Hope Catherine with ex Joel Schiffman, tries not to get too caught up “in the math.”

“I look at my mom, who’s 86, and I think to myself, ‘OK, what’s the difference here between me and her? Thirty [years]. OK, that’s kind of good, so let’s see, 30 years,’” Kotb told Bethenny Frankel on her “Just B” podcast.

“So I add 30 to Haley and I add 30 to Hope. And I think to myself, won’t that be spectacular? I can do that.”

The morning show host, who recently endured a health scare with her daughter Hope, said she doesn’t view the age gap in a negative way, instead choosing to focus on how “special” it would be if she did get to witness her daughters’ milestones.

“Wouldn’t that be amazing? Do I get to see them get married? Maybe,” Kotb added. “That would be really good. Or do I get to see them have a child? Maybe. That would be really good.”

Kotb’s father passed when he was in his mid-50s from a heart attack, so the broadcast journalist said she one day wrote her mother’s age minus her age on the glass in the steamy shower.

“And I looked at the number and I was like [claps hands],” she said. “What if you get that many years? That’s more than I got with my dad.”

Frankel, 52, also revealed that she has anxiety thinking about raising her daughter Bryn, 13, as an older mother.

“I watch her make the connection and then I watch her get distracted because it’s anxiety for her,” the “RHONY” alum said.

“We’re very close. It just keeps getting better, it’s so beautiful.”
