FORMER FIRST Daughter Jenna Bush Hager returned home to the White House over the weekend 13 years after her father left office, leaving colleagues and friends in awe with her visit.
On Sunday, the TODAY Show host posted a series of photos on Instagram marking the trip to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Her husband Henry Hager, her mother Laura Bush and her daughters Mila and Poppy were also featured in the photos.
“A magical night we will never forget!” Hager, 40, wrote in her Instagram caption, along with several star emojis.
In the post, the former first daughter and her family can be seen with big smiles outside the White House as well as inside the building.
The visit, which coincided with Sir Elton John’s Friday performance at the White House, left some of Hager’s colleagues and friends awed in her comment section.
“Wowza!!!! Xoxox,” fellow TODAY Show host Hoda Kotb wrote.
“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Beautiful,” TODAY host Sheinelle Jones commented.
“❤️❤️❤️,” singer Karen Fairchild of country music group Little Big Town posted.
“LOVEEEE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,” said DJ Marjorie Gubelmann.
The White House was a second home to Hager and her twin sister Barbara Bush when their father, former President George W. Bush was in office from 2001 to 2009.
She soon joined the TODAY show after the end of her father’s second term as a news correspondent.
In 2019, Hager succeeded Kathie Lee Gifford to sit as Kotb’s co-host of Today’s Fourth Hour program.
Just last month, Hager announced her next big career move: producing Jaime Ford’s novel The Many Daughters of Afong Moy into a series.
“Jamie, I’ve been telling Hoda about this book for a long time. I read it a long time ago. I love how it’s really about generations of love passed down from mother to daughter,” she said when making the August announcement.
