“How do you feel about viewers ‘shipping’ you and Kevin Costner after he appeared on Today last month? And have the two of you connected since?" a caller asked Kotb during her recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen .

After splitting up with former fiancé Joel Schiffman in 2022, Kotb has made it a priority to get back out on the dating scene. “She’s been eyeing and chatting up taxi drivers, doormen and even strangers on the street. Hoda’s apparently done with slick city types and is looking to find an ordinary Joe," an insider claimed.
