Itâs quite the day over at Jenna Bush Hagerâs house.
On Monday, April 13, the TODAY anchorâs daughter Mila rang in her golden birthday, and officially became a teenager.
In addition to the 13-year-old, the former first daughter, who has been married to Henry Hager since 2008, is also a mom to daughter Poppy, nine, and son Hal, six.
On the Monday installment of TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle, both Jenna and co-host Sheinelle Jones were quick to commemorate Milaâs special day, with Sheinelle exclaiming: âGuess what! You officially have a teenager!â as Jenna admitted that she âcanât believe it.â
A photo of Jenna and Mila then appeared on the screen, and Sheinelle noted: âBut wait, youâre teenager looks like sheâs 17!â with Jenna adding: âThat little person turns 13 years old today which I cannot believe.â
Jenna went on to recall how Mila arrived Earthside almost month earlier than her due date, with Jennaâs water breaking right as her baby shower took place.
âEveryone freaked out,â she remembered, revealing: âThere was one man who was the caterer, he threw a paper towel roll and walked out the door.â
âEverybody had different reactions,â she further shared. My sister was springing into action, my cousin was springing into action. But people that were pregnant there started crying, out of fear. They were disgusted.â
The two co-stars then reflected on having teenagers, with Sheinelle, who is a mom to son Kayin, 16, and twins Clara and Uche, 13, sharing: âMy twins are 13. Iâm a few months in, it is ⊠they become their own people.â
âAlso, weâre friends. I am her mom, but I like her, I like her personality,â she added of her daughter, who she shares with late husband Uche Ojeh.
Jenna also commemorated Milaâs birthday over on Instagram, first sharing a photo of her bundled up shortly after labor, and writing: âHow was this day â that made me a mama â 13 years ago???â
She then shared a video of her and Henry playing with their firstborn, followed by the same recent photo shared on the TODAY broadcast of Jenna and Mila, over which she endearingly wrote: âHappiest birthday to my dream girl.â
