Jenna Bush Hager's kids aren't fans of her hairstyle. ‘Why would you do that?'
Jenna Bush Hager's family had mixed reactions to her new hairstyle.
The 43-year-old talk show host shocked viewers on June 16 when she had celebrity hairstylist Chris McMillan give her a classic bob hairstyle live on 'Today with Jenna & Friends.'
The new hairdo was inspired by guest host Leslie Bibb's 'The White Lotus' character, Kate Bohr.
'When I was here back in March, Jenna vowed to get on board with the bob, and today is the day,' Bibb told the audience at the start of the segment.
As McMillan was chopping her hair, Bush Hager joked that her daughter begged her not to get the haircut and warned her that she was 'going to regret it.'
But she did it, anyway — and her children got to see it later that day.
'I don't like it,' Bush Hager's 12-year-old daughter, Mila, said without hesitation.
'Why would you do that,' her other daughter, Poppy, 9, quipped before she ran away crying — though Bush Hager later clarified that it was 'fake crying.'
But while her children didn't like the new haircut, her husband, Henry Chase Hager, more than approved.
Bush Hager called his reaction sweet and said he earned even more points when he witnessed their children's reactions.
'She's nine…. She don't know fashion…' Henry Chase Hager said after one of their daughters told his wife that she didn't 'look good.'
Fans were quick to share how much they loved Bush Hager's new haircut.
'You were made for this cut!!' one fan, who described herself as an 'almost lifetime Bob wearer,' wrote in the comment section of one of the 'Today' show's Instagram posts.
Several fans even encouraged Bush Hager to go as much as one inch shorter next time.
'Love it. I think she could've done even shorter Bob,' one fan commented, while another wrote, 'I love it so much. I may actually get the same haircut - and my hair is really long. It's so pretty.'
Despite all the compliments, Bush Hager said she feels 'a little embarrassed' by all the attention.
Meanwhile, her guest host Leslie Bibb praised her for being brave enough to go through with the cut.
'It's vulnerable, which I think is a way more exciting thing to be,' Bibbs explained. 'To be vulnerable, which somehow is very scary, but it's one of the biggest lessons I took from 'The White Lotus.''

The White Lotus' Jason Isaacs Confirms ‘Very Low' Salary
The White Lotus star Jason Isaacs dished on his 'very low' salary for Mike White's iconic HBO show. The actor noted that the remuneration hardly had any influence, as he would have also 'paid' to be in it. Actor Jason Isaacs shared his thoughts about his remuneration for The White Lotus in a new interview. While talking to Vulture, the Emmy-nominated actor was asked about the $40,000 salary per episode that every actor received. Isaacs was surprised to know that the remuneration for The White Lotus is 'public knowledge.' However, he reflected on the 'very low price' and how it did not have any influence on him. The Harry Potter alum noted, 'Generally actors don't talk about pay in public because it's ridiculously disproportionate to what we do — putting on makeup and funny voices — and just upsets the public. But compared to what people normally get paid for big television shows, that's a very low price.' However, the 'low' salary barely played a role, Isaacs explained. 'The fact is, we would have paid to be in it. We probably would have given a body part.' He also shared his feelings about being a 'senior' actor and getting the same remuneration as younger actors. The Star Trek: Discovery star said, 'Do I mind that I wasn't paid more than other people? I never work for money.' The actor further spoke about his spendings. 'People will think I have huge stockpiles of money but sadly, what I've done rather immaturely is expand my outgoings to match my incomings and pretty much spent everything I've earned over the years.' During the interview, Isaacs also gushed over his longtime life partner, Emma Hewitt. The couple, who started dating in the 80s, tied the knot in 2001. Speaking of his longtime romance, the star disclosed that the duo broke up for a while in their 'seven-year itch' phase. However, Hewitt has 'stuck around' even when Isaacs was at his lowest. The actor revealed, 'She's the only one who saw how dark I was. And she stuck around, and thank God she did.'
