Jenna Bush Hager’s night ends in disaster as Sheinelle Jones comes to the rescue

Jenna Bush Hager left her Today co-host Sheinelle Jones in stitches after the 44-year-old recounted a story of how her friend rushed to her side to assist with an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction during their Jamaica trip. 

The pair, who are currently on location in the Caribbean country to film Today with Jenna and Sheinelle, revealed that one of their nights ended “in a real bang” thanks to Jenna’s mishap. “Are we going to talk about you being – I had to cut her out of her dress,” Sheinelle teased on-air, before adding that she had been on the dance floor at the time. 

“She had to literally get scissors and cut me out of my dress,” Jenna chimed in. “I was pouring sweat, I was panicking. I’m like, SOS.” 

“I’m like, Sheinelle, I need you to get here with the scissors ASAP. This is the type of friend I’ve learned I have. She left the dance floor, I believe they were playing Sean Paul, she left, she came,” she recalled. 

This is certainly not the first time that either of the TV personalities has suffered an awkward wardrobe slip-up. Back in 2022, Jenna recalled the moment when her zipper broke during the book tour for her project, The Superpower Sisterhood. 

The moment happened at a Texas rest stop, and a woman with a pair of pliers in her car was more than ready to help. “You know, sisterhood looks like a lot of different things,” she said on Today. “But one thing you may not notice about sisterhood is that sometimes, they can help you out even in the biggest pinches.” 

As for Sheinelle, the mother of three once split her pants on the show and had to be sewn back in during a commercial break. “I’d show you, but then we’d get canceled,” she quipped at the time, before revealing how the crew came to her rescue.

“So this is Alex in our wardrobe department, she just worked a miracle, she sewed me into my pants!” Sheinelle said. “I can’t use the restroom for the rest of the hour – I’m sewn in.” 

Jenna and Sheinelle are currently filming in Jamaica to help bring awareness to the country’s situation after Hurricane Melissa hit in October 2025. During Thursday’s episode, the duo shared their thoughts and prayers with their colleague and close friend, Today host Savannah Guthrie, amid the ongoing investigation into her mother’s disappearance. 

Nancy Guthrie, 84, went missing from her home in Tucson, Arizona, on February 1, with authorities believing her to have been abducted.

“We’re gonna have a beautiful show. But before we get started here in Jamaica, we have to just say, we are here by the Caribbean Sea, the wind in our hair, but our hearts are also with our dearest friend, Savannah,” Jenna said as they kicked off the fourth hour. 

“When you love somebody the way we love our girl, you can’t help but feel like she’s with us,” she continued. “I will say, it’s hard to come to a place like this and not feel close to God, and she talked a lot about her faith…it’s important that we’re here, because if anyone knows the type of resilience that Savannah’s fighting for every day, it is the people of Jamaica. They fight for their joy.”
