“Yeah, the two of them dated for a month,” Hoda, 59, responded, as Jenna continued: “Yeah, because a fortnight… I have to tell you, I hadn’t caught up on my old English, so I didn’t know nothing”. That fifteen days were two weeks!

Hoda Kotb was also unsure of the length of fifteen days and asked if it was “ten days or two weeks.”

Fast forward, the ladies decided to talk about Taylor’s 2023 romance with Matty, 35, and shared their thoughts on ‘short-term relationships’ that end up having a big impact on you.
Hoda said, “This is interesting, though.” Because sometimes a short relationship… because you don’t know the potential or what could have been, or all things end… I’ve heard people talk about how the short, brief relationship is the love of their life. .
“I asked a guy I met at one point, ‘Do you ever think about the love of your life?’… I met her once and it was brief and here and there,” and he’s describing what dating is like. two days, nice whatever…

“In any relationship that’s never fully realized, you’re always thinking, oh wait, could it have been like that? And I already have the one, but could it have been the one? Could we have gone further?” Jenna commented, referring to her husband Henry Hager.
Hoda then added, “Yeah, and sometimes you wonder, because it didn’t work out, so maybe that was… ‘could that have been the love of my life?'” And that’s why I feel pain and heartbreak, because ‘People say, ‘you only went out with him for a few weeks’, but I felt like it could have been like that and then you spend your whole life dreaming…’
Jenna then asked, ‘Do you have a person like that?’ As Hoda hesitated before answering, ‘Yes,’ and she turned to Jenna and said, ‘Yes!’ as she replied: ‘Yes, I do!’ while they both laughed.
