Speaking about them parting ways in her new book Jump and Find Joy: Embracing Change in Every Season of Life, she said: “Our decision to part wasn’t one that we took lightly, but we knew it was the right one.”
“It came from a place of love, not anger, which makes a big difference.
Hoda also opened up about their decision to adopt their two daughters.
She had told Joel that she wanted to explore adoption a year into the pair’s relationship.
She revealed in her book that Joel was overjoyed about the thought of adopting, she wrote: “Joel looked me in the eye, and without blinking, replied, ‘I don’t need a minute, and the answer is yes.
“I literally fell onto his chest and wept.
“I sobbed, my tears a huge release of relief and gratitude. It was one of the first times I said the word ‘adoption’ out loud.”
