Early life

Jenna Bush Hager was born on November 25, 1981, in Dallas, Texas, as the younger of identical twin daughters of George W. Bush and Laura Bush.

She grew up in Texas and attended public schools in Dallas before moving to the White House in 2001 when her father was elected President of the United States.

After completing her studies at the University of Texas at Austin, she worked as a teacher and a school librarian before becoming a correspondent for NBC News and a co-host of the Today Show.

While residing in New York City, Jenna and Barbara (her twin sister) received much media attention as they were arrested twice in five weeks for alcohol-related offenses.

Jenna was first charged with a minor violation of having alcohol while being under the age of 21 on April 29, 2001, in Austin, Texas.

Later on May 29, 2001, Jenna was charged again with a misdemeanor for trying to use a fake ID with the name Barbara Pierce (her paternal grandmother's maiden name) to buy alcohol.

She pleaded guilty to both charges. In 2004 Jenna Bush graduated from the University of Texas Austin with a Bachelor's degree in English.

Controversies

Jenna Bush Hager has been involved in several controversies throughout her career. One of the most notable was when she and her twin sister Barbara were arrested twice within five weeks for alcohol-related charges while they were both underage. Jenna pleaded no contest to both accounts, and her actions caused much media attention and criticism.

Another controversy came when she wrote her book "Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope" based on her experiences while working with UNICEF in Panama. Some criticized her for using the story of a real person without her consent and for not providing enough context and cultural sensitivity in the book.

Additionally, she's been on the receiving end of criticism over her role as co-host of the Today Show and NBC News. Some viewers and media critics have questioned her qualifications and experience in journalism. It's worth noting that criticism comes with the territory as a public figure, and not all criticism is necessarily warranted or accurate. Recently, when one of her daughters - Mila (9), appeared as a guest on the ‘Today’ show, she ‘exposed’ her mother regarding her underwear choices, claiming Jenna never wears underwear.^[2]She finished off her truth bomb by stating:

“She’s not wearing any today! I saw her change!”
