Jenna Bush Hager reveals her kids call her by her first name: It’s ‘a compliment’

Jenna Bush Hager isn’t a regular mom.

The “Today with Hoda & Jenna” co-host revealed during Thursday’s show that her kids call her by her first name.

“My children call me Jenna,” she said.

“That’s something for you to unpack with them,” quipped her twin sister, Barbara Pierce Bush, who was filling in for Hoda Kotb.

“It is something for me to unpack with them,” Hager agreed.

“In fact, when we FaceTimed [my son] Hal from our book tour, he goes, ‘Hello, Jenna! Hello, Jenna!'”

“Which I take as a compliment because it is my name,” she added.

Jenna, 41, shares three children — son Hal, 4, and daughters Poppy, 8, and Mila, 10 — with her husband, Henry Hager. The pair tied the knot in 2008 after about five years of dating.

Jenna’s latest parenting revelation came after Pierce Bush expressed excitement that her own name was “making a comeback.”

While the famous sisters enjoyed the lighthearted banter about their names, there seemed to be a hiccup during the broadcast that didn’t sit right with Jenna.

As they were playing a game of “First Loves,” Jenna and Barbara were asked to reveal their first cocktail.

The mother of three was offended by the question and accused “Today” producers of “shaming” her and her twin for their underage drinking scandal in 2001.

“I think they are trying to shame us with our underage drinking, minor in possession of alcohol,” Jenna suggested.

“I think this is shame coming from my own team.”

“That was rude,” Barbara said in agreement.

Despite the disappointment, the pair decided to play along and said their favorite drinks at the time were “wine coolers” or “natty lights,” referring to Natural Light beer.

The former first daughters got busted for possession of alcohol and using a fake ID while dining near the University of Texas just months after their father, George W. Bush, took office.

Jenna opened up about the “stupid” incident on “Today with Hoda & Jenna” last year.

“We got in trouble with the law as freshman in college by ordering a margarita at a restaurant called Chuy’s,” she recalled.

“Barbara and I … were like 19 and a half, maybe 20, close enough but not allowed [to drink].”

She also revealed the casual way their father reacted to the news.

“When I called my dad to say, ‘I’m really sorry’ … he said, ‘No, I’m sorry,'” Jenna remembered.

‘He said, ‘I’m sorry, I told you that you can be normal, and you can’t. You can’t order margaritas.'”
