Hoda Kotb and Joel Schiffman Break Up After 8 Years Together | PEOPLE

[tas]

WOW this is shocking ! and so sad. 2 kids ffs ! and only 2 and 4

[ApplePie..]

A failed relationship is called a seasonal thing now?

[angelwings]

When people can’t even commit to a MARRIAGE it’s ridiculous to begin with. They were unmarried. I’m surprised two people their age have children ages 2 and 4. What ? I’m 62, I know what I’m saying.

[lauraroberts]

Something did happen or yall wouldn't have broke up.Just saying💔

[marys]

Something is wrong with these TV people. He was a very good man.

[lisamarie]

Hoda made a comment that she was afraid to tell him of her dream to adopt, since he already had an older Daughter. I wouldn't be surprised if he really didn't want to adopt the children, and just did it because he loved Hoda, and then just became that absent parent, leaving Hoda to do most of the work, and they just grew apart. I wonder if he'll even want to see the kids...I guess we'll see.

[cyndimorgan]

Prob was the prenup arguing.. I think getting married past a certain age is just stupid.

[nightengale]

She's really too much into her career for a marriage and kids, especially little kids. Only so many hours in a day

[patknock]

Sad yall arent still together yall made a grest couple the love is there u can see in your smiles

[zhenmanm]

it hard for eldly to raise young kids, parents are grow up together when you raise kids,

[patriciawallace]

I love that Hoda copy shared with fans. ❤
Patricia Wallace

[cashIND]

Word is he couldn't lay the pipe..

[marymcghee]

Just the strangest thing. Together 8 years and then just ended

[brilliantdiva]

It was a big farce from the beginning. Hoda is full of hooey Furthermore Gut feeling it was perpetrated to improve her adoption chances.

[sandyrodriguez]

Yes some relationships are just meant for a season to come into your life to teach you something & to move on.

[shawnmalie]

Hoda couldn’t love anybody but herself anyway.

[lubrown]

Rhoda is so strong she handled the split like a champ

[michelleallen]

She must be hard to live with she did something wrong probably maybe the better as friends I don’t know I’ve been married 35 years and I’m going to divorce this year but I’m going to be OK

[monicaford]

I dnt trust men who r with u for yrs n yrs n tke forever to ask u to married them or never do!

[elainedelbuono]

she is odd. she was never with the kids. glad for joel. he could do better.
