'Jenna's got a little something in the oven for the Boost,' Guthrie, 53, said before the camera cut over to the former first daughter, per People.
'Today' co-hosts Carson Daly, Al Roker and Craig Melvin were left scratching their heads over the baby news confusion.
'Wait, what?' Daly, 51, asked. 'Are you making an announcement?'

'Bush is pregnant?' one person asked on Instagram.
'Are either one pregnant?' asked another, while a third commented, 'I'm confused.'
Other fans slammed the show and lamented over Hoda Kotb's departure from the program. She left 'Today' back in January because her 6-year-old daughter, Hope, has Type 1 diabetes.

'I have nothing to announce,' former President George W. Bush's daughter responded at the time. 'I'm pretty sure I've come to terms that three, even though it's an imperfect number, is the perfect number for our house.'
'It's very normal,' Guthrie chimed in. 'I think they call it being broody. You're kind of broody for a third or a fourth.'
'I would have had a third in a heartbeat, but, you know, I was up against the clock,' she added.
