LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ‘Today’s host Hoda Kotb is one of the most loved anchors on live television off late for many reasons. Kotb has taken to Instagram to wish her best friend, Karen Swensen’s daughter a happy birthday in a rather emotional post, and her fans haven’t held back from chiming in, and we don’t blame them at all!
Swensen and Kotb have been best friends for decades now, and Swensen’s daughter, Catherine Grace, has always been like Kotb’s own, given the course of their friendship. It only makes the birthday post more emotional as Kotb has seen Catherine grow up over the last two decades, and the latter has now turned twenty, reaching a new milestone in life. Kotb and her fans, all wish Catherine a very happy 20th!
‘How did you turn 20??’
If you have been a fan of Kotb, then you might have seen Catherine on her Instagram before, but if you’re new, you might just confuse her for Kotb’s daughter. There is some resemblance there! Kotb shared a picture of young Catherine on the first slide, and the second slide included Kotb and Catherine standing together with all the smiles in the world. Kotb has captioned the post, “Wait… how did this happen? How did you turn 20?? I love you @catherinergrace More than you know…❤️”
Kotb’s Instagram posts and her ability to share her personal life with her not only her friends and family but also her fans is something that helps her stand out. Kotb’s fans have rushed to the Instagram post, to wish Catherine a very happy birthday, and we are certain Kotb and Catherine both would appreciate the love.
‘I thought it was Shirley Temple’
One of the recurring comments that were seen on Kotb’s post for Catherine’s 20th birthday included a comparison to Shirley Temple.
