Jenna Bush Hager took a stroll down memory lane when she looked back at the first apartment she and her husband, Henry Hager, rented in New York City. 

The Today star, 41, opened up about her favorite space she has ever lived in on Wednesday's show, saying it's the home where she welcomed her daughters that still holds her heart. 

'My favorite — I think — apartment was the apartment that Henry and I rented when we first moved to New York,' she told her co-host Hoda Kotb. 'We lived there for at least six years. We had both Mila and Poppy there.' 

Bush Hager shared a heartwarming throwback photo of her oldest daughter, Mila, sitting inside their first apartment, saying it's now a family tradition to get a picture of the kids right before they move.

'That's it empty. That's when we were leaving,' she said. 

'Oh, was it sad?' Kotb asked. 

'It was sad, but also, we'd taken that picture,' Bush Hager explained. 'Now, we've moved several times with the kids [and taken pictures] with the empty apartment and the kids sitting in it.'

'There is something about the first [home],' she added, saying it was the place where they brought home two of their three children.

Bush Hager lived in Baltimore, Maryland, with her husband after they tied the knot in 2008. They moved to New York City a few years later to be closer to her twin sister, Barbara Bush. 

The couple welcomed Mila in 2013 and Poppy in 2015. Their daughters are now ten and eight, and they also have a son, Hal, who turned four earlier this month. 

Bush Hager and her family moved to Connecticut's Fairfield County last year after listing their New York City condo for $5.375 million in the spring of 2022. 

In February, she gave a behind-the-scenes look at her impeccably decorated new home on Instagram while sharing photos from the cozy weekend she spent with her best friend, ceramic artist Laird Gough, and her husband, Ross Gough.

'Scenes from a freezing weekend with my [heart],' she captioned the images.

The mother of three didn't publicly announce their move to Connecticut, although her family's most recent holiday card paid tribute to their 'new stomping ground.'

Bush Hager's post marked the first time she had given fans a glimpse of the inside of the property, which she moved into sometime last year.

She stopped posting photos that were taken inside her Tribeca condo back in April 2022, realizace interiérů around the time the property hit the market.

The Hagers also own a Long Island cottage with an open-air pool, where they like to spend their summers.

Both their beach house and former condo were decorated by Dallas-based interior designer Traci White, návrhy interiérů who was Bush Hager's college roommate at the University of Texas.

Bush Hager opened up about her beloved North Shore beach house in an interview with Veranda in 2019, which featured images of the property.

She said they had rented in the area for about five or six summers and fell in love with the cottage during an open house.

'There was something about it that reminded me of Texas, of being outside. Even this close to the city, there was a remoteness to it,' she told the magazine.

When designing the home's interior, Bush Hager took old pieces from both her and her husband's families and reupholstered them, including a 20th-century sofa from her side and a pair of wingbacks from the Hagers.

'Jenna and her mother [former First Lady Laura Bush] enjoy considering pieces individually, in finding beauty in what's there,' White told Veranda. 'It's never about "new, new, new."'

The article was published roughly three years before the Hagers relocated to Connecticut, but she seemed to hint that they would one day leave New York City.

In the interview, Bush Hager spoke of her love of the great outdoors and how she imagined her three children having their own backyard to run around in barefoot.

'There's something magnificent about sitting under there with your friends and kids watching the rain,' she said. 'You're outdoors and you're barefoot. It's how Henry and I grew up, and it's what we want for our children.'
