The Today Show Host Was Desperate To Dump Famous Name
Jenna Bush Hager has revealed that she was desperate to dump the famous last name. This is something fans did not expect. However, she opened up about why she felt this way.
“I went by Ms. Jenna ’cause I didn’t really want them to know [who I was], although, of course, they knew, and so, I was, like, ready to go by Hager. But then, I started at the Today show, and they were like, ‘You wrote a book under Jenna Bush.’ And I was like, ‘Alright, whatever,’ They were like, ‘People may not know who you are,’ which is so stupid because I’ve been here for 15 years. Anyway, I did both, and I’m fine with it. I actually like having both.”
She did not want to keep her famous last name. However, in the end, she is glad she did. Fans are also glad she did because this is how she has always been known.
Jenna did not think people would know who she was if she dumped her famous last name. So, she ended up keeping it and now does not regret it.
