Jenna Bush Hagerrevealed that she almost got a tattoo following a “terrible breakup.”
The mom of three, 41, revealed on the latest episode ofToday with Hoda & Jennawhile discussing the highs and lows of relationships that she once considered getting a tattoo of a popular Destiny’s Child song to signify ending a long-time on-again, off-again relationship.
“I ended up getting back together with the person about 47 times,” she said. “But my friend, Tracy, was like, ‘It’s enough already. Get up.’ And we went out and we danced and I almost got ‘Survivor’ tattooed on my back.”
When her co-hostHoda Kotbasked her to elaborate, Bush Hager responded, “The Destiny’s Child song was popular!”

“We actually went to the tattoo parlor on 6th Street and thank you Jesus, it was closed,” she continued. “Because could you imagine if I had “Survivor” tattooed?”
“I want to just feel the way I actually feel, and if I feel crummy, then I want to stay at home and cuddle up on the couch in my pajamas… I think forcing yourself to put on something for other people is a waste of energy,” she explained.
However, Bush Hager has come a long way from those days of heartbreak, having recently celebrated her 15th wedding anniversary to husbandHenry Hagerwith asentimental tribute to himon Instagram in May.
“15 years with HH’s hand in mine. I love him. A lot. ❤️❤️,” Bush Hagercaptioned the post.
