Hoda, 60, was shocked when her co-host Jenna Bush Hager said that they had a special message for her.

Sandra , who appeared via video message, said that she had a lot of funny things prepared but she was “too tired” because she made her way up the mountain (to 60) before Hoda did.

She turned 60 in July.

“Happy birthday, my sweet friend. Thank you for letting me into your circle. I feel very grateful,” Sandra, 60, said.

The actress said that the top of the mountain is “pretty dang great.”

“Everything is amazing because you made it that way. Thank you for being so incredible to so many people,” she added.

“We’re all pretty lucky to have you.”

The Today host said it was “too much!” and wiped away tears when the video ended.

Hoda told Jenna, 42, that Sandra inspired her to become a mom at her age because Sandra also adopted kids later in life.

This is one of Sandra’s first public appearances since her partner’s death in August 2023.

Sandra’s boyfriend , Bryan, died at the age of 57 from ALS on August 5, 2023.

His family shared the news in a statement to People .

“It is with great sadness that we share that on Aug 5, Bryan Randall passed away peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS,” they wrote at the time.

“Bryan chose early to keep his journey with ALS private and those of us who cared for him did our best to honor his request.”

Everything is amazing because you made it that way. Thank you for being so incredible to so many people.

“We are immensely grateful to the tireless doctors who navigated the landscape of this illness with us and to the astounding nurses who became our roommates, often sacrificing their own families to be with ours,” it went on.

“At this time we ask for privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan.”

ALS is a neurodegenerative disease that affects a person’s brain and spinal cord.

SANDRA AND BRYAN’S RELATIONSHIP

Bryan was a model-turned-photographer.

He photographed Sandra’s son Louis’ birthday in 2015, which is where they met.

The couple made their first public appearance at Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux ‘s wedding months later.

They kept their relationship very private.

However, during an episode of Red Table Talk in 2021, Sandra opened up about dating Bryan.

“I found the love of my life. We share two beautiful children – three children, [Bryan’s] older daughter. It’s the best thing ever,” she said.

“I don’t wanna say do it like I do it, but I don’t need a paper to be a devoted partner and devoted mother.”

Sandra and Bryan never married when they were together.

She hasn’t acted since 2022 in Lost City and Bullet Train.
