Earlier this year, on Kotb’s birthday, Bush Hager honored her Today co-host in a birthday message and thanked her for making her life “more joyful.”

When Kotb turned 59 on Aug. 9, the Read With Jenna book club founder shared a pair of sweet photos of the pair at work together — one in the studio and one in matching rainbow snowsuits.

“Happiest birthday to @hodakotb!” she wrote alongside the pictures. “I love sitting next to you (or standing in full snow gear!) You make my life more joyful every, single day!”

“Girllll love u!” Kotb responded.

Kotb has never been secretive about her love for Bush Hager, who has been by her side at Today for over four years.

While speaking to PEOPLE for Bush Hager’s August cover story, the daytime TV veteran said that she admires her co-host’s ability to be herself and share intimate details about her life without fear. (Over the years, Bush Hager has shared stories ranging from going commando while meeting King Charles to engaging in “hanky-panky” at the White House while her dad George W. Bush was in office.)

“When I watched her drop those bombs on the desk, I was like, ‘Girl, what are you doing?’ But she’s unabashedly herself,” Kotb told PEOPLE, adding that “people spend their whole lives trying to get there, and she is exactly who she is.”

According to Bush Hager, however, she never gave these so-called “bombs” much thought.

“In fact I try not to put too much pressure on myself for perfection, because I’m nothing close to that,” she told PEOPLE. “I find perfection to be wildly boring.”
