During a surprise phone call to "Today," Hager shared the details of her son’s birth with her excited co-hosts.She tells "Today," they named him Henry after her husband, and also after Hager’s grandfather.

Hager jokingly tells the show that her father and the former president of the United States, George W Bush, was a little upset that her first son is not named after him.
