For Jenna Bush Hager, summer is going to be a dedicated season of motherhood.

The TODAY anchor, 44, shares three kids with her husband Henry Hager, those being daughters Mila, 13, and Poppy, 10, and youngest son Hal, six.

During an episode of TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle, airing on April 30, Jenna spoke passionately about wanting to devote more of her time now to being a present mother after a lot of her recent projects have taken up her time.

In fact, as seen in the clip above, she broke down into tears speaking about wanting to have more time to spend specifically with her daughter Poppy, with her co-anchor Sheinelle Jones, herself a mom of three, leaning in to support her.

"We see you," Sheinelle, 48, reassured her, praising her for still being such an active parent in her kids' lives, despite her packed schedule, and noting that sometimes, moms can't just always "do it all."

"You guys, we just had a moment collectively," Sheinelle added, to which Jenna quipped: "It may look like everything's great, but things are falling apart."
