Jenna Bush Hager’s Kids Surprise Her with Thoughtful 44th Birthday Celebration
A Heartfelt Birthday Surprise
On November 25, 2025, Jenna Bush Hager celebrated her 44th birthday — and it turned out to be especially memorable thanks to her children. According to her own account on that day’s episode of Today With Jenna & Friends, her three kids — Mila Hager, Poppy Hager and Hal Hager — threw her a surprise birthday dinner the night before.

Rather than an extravagant party, the celebration was gentle and homey — a four-course “cheese meal.” Jenna herself joked that at 44, a cheese course doesn’t hit the same way it did when she was 22. NonStop Local Tri-Cities/Yakima+1
