Savannah Guthrie Shares Her Thoughts on Hoda Kotb’s Moment with Kevin Costner
In a captivating turn of events, Hoda Kotb recently made headlines when she posted a photo with Kevin Costner at the Super Bowl 2025, taking place at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. The Today alum expressed her excitement on Instagram with a caption that read, Oh what funnnnn!!! #superbowl #nolastrong, alongside a series of images from the event, including one with the famed actor Kevin Costner. In the snap, the 70-year-old star, donning sunglasses, beamed in Hoda’s embrace, garnering widespread attention from fans.
Savannah Guthrie couldn’t resist chiming in on the post, playfully suggesting a budding romance with the comment, New couple alert cc @jennabhager, complete with a siren emoji. Jenna Bush Hager quickly responded, saying, We have been waiting for this moment!
In addition to Guthrie and Hager, Donna Farizan from Today added her enthusiasm, declaring her love for the photos, especially one in particular.

Hoda initially seemed surprised, responding, Wait what? Yet she humorously entertained the idea, saying, If the viewers want it… give the people what they want.
