Although the news of the engagement between Kotb and Schiffman has arrived only recently, Kyle has been a part of Kotb's life for a long time. Kyle has known her since 2013, right around the time the 55-year-old TV host started dating her father.

KOTB'S ADOPTED DAUGHTER, HALEY

Kotb adopted Haley Joy in 2017 after she discovering about the possibility of not being able to have a child of her own due to her breast cancer treatment. After welcoming Haley, who is now 2 years of age, into her life, Kotb's dream of becoming a mother finally came true.

Kotb also explained on "Today" that even Haley was delighted by the arrival of her younger sister, and she was enjoying her role as the elder one.

"This morning at breakfast, (Haley) was trying to feed (Hope) her raspberries, and I was like, 'Not yet, babe.' She was literally marching around saying, 'I'm a big sister!'''

A month prior to adopting Hope, the TV host had already hinted about the possibility of having a sibling for Haley.

Although she did not confirm when she was planning to make the addition to the family, she clarified that it was something that was important to her and Schiffman.
