During Hoda Kotb’s appearance on Kelly Clarkson Show, The Hope Is A Rainbow author informed Kelly that she is dating after 2 years. She revealed that she had gone on her first date since 2022. Hoda said, “I do have to say something,” adding, “Something did happen the other day that hasn’t happened in two years … I had a date! I had a date!”
However, Kotb didn’t want to get wrapped up in the future possibilities, telling the singer, “But you know what it was? It was just a date. It was nothing but a date.”
Then, she flipped the script on Kelly Clarkson, who went through an uproarious divorce from Brandon Blackstock, and asked her if she’s at the place in life to “think about going out on a date.” “Not at all,” Clarkson quipped while Hoda and the audience laughed out loud. She further added “Not even a little bit. I am really loving not having a man in my life, like, it’s just too hard.”
Meanwhile, Kotb remained single for two years after calling off her engagement with New York financier Joel Schiffman.

The Hope Is A Rainbow author called off her engagement to Schiffman in January 2022. Following that, on Today with Hoda & Jenna at the time, she expressed, “It’s not like something happened. They say sometimes relationships are meant to be there for a reason, for a season or for a lifetime, and I feel like ours was meant to be there for a season."
On the Today (Hoda & Jenna) fourth hour, Kotb declared live that she and Schiffman were calling it quits on their engagement and that they would instead concentrate on parenting together as friends. Therefore, the duo were engaged in November 2019 and broke the engagement following two years and a couple of months.
