Jenna Bush Hager, a beloved figure on the TODAY show and daughter of former President George W. Bush, shares her life with Henry Chase Hager, her husband of 17 years. Their journey began in 2004 when they met while he was working for her father at the White House. It’s a story that includes both charm and hilarity—like the time Jenna recounted their disastrous first date involving a car running out of gas and an unexpected encounter with Secret Service agents.
Today, Henry is not just known as Jenna's partner but also as a successful professional in his own right. He currently serves as the managing director at Waterous Energy Fund, a private equity firm focused on energy investments. His career path has taken him from political assistant to financial executive—a testament to his versatility and ambition.
The couple tied the knot in 2008 during an intimate ceremony at Jenna’s family ranch in Texas after a romantic proposal atop Cadillac Mountain—the first place sunlight touches America each day. Reflecting on their relationship, Jenna often expresses how being herself around Henry made it clear he was 'the one.'
Together they have built a beautiful family with three children: Mila, Poppy Louise, and Hal. Each child brings joy into their lives; Mila arrived first in April 2013 followed by Poppy in August 2015—and recently welcomed baby Hal into their fold.
Their parenting style seems deeply rooted in love and humor; stories shared by Jenna about her daughters reveal candid moments filled with laughter that resonate with many parents today. As she navigates life balancing work commitments alongside motherhood—with grace—she often highlights how proud she is of their little family unit.
In essence, while Henry Chase Hager may be less visible than his wife on national television screens every morning, his role within this close-knit family speaks volumes about partnership grounded in mutual respect and affection.
