Savannah Guthrie kicked off Hoda Kotb‘s new YouTube series, Joy Rides, by asking hard-hitting questions about her former Today coanchor’s love life.

“Who are you dating?” Guthrie asked Kotb on the show’s debut episode, released on Wednesday, January 21. Kotb was previously married to Burzis Kanga from 2005 to 2008 and began dating her ex, Joel Schiffman, in 2013. The couple got engaged in 2019 and adopted two children together — daughters Haley, 9, and Hope, 6. In early 2022, Kotb announced the pair’s breakup live on Today.
