"I woke up thinking about you, too," Bush Hager, 44, said during Wednesday's broadcast, as Jones confirmed, "It would've been Uche's birthday."
View this post on InstagramJones, who was married to Ojeh for nearly 18 years, went on to talk about her "year of firsts" following his death, opening up about how she has been navigating all the major "milestones" without her husband, like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
"I've just been so busy that I think I underestimated how tough this one would be," she said on Wednesday.
Ojeh, the father of Jones' three children, died at age 45 in May 2025 following a battle with brain cancer, specifically a glioblastoma.
Jones, 47, stepped away from Today for several months to be with her family during the difficult time, before returning in September 2025 and making her debut last month as the permanent host of Today's fourth hour, Jenna & Sheinelle.
But Jones is certainly not the only member of the talk show's staff to be dealing with a serious personal situation, as Savannah's 84-year-old mother Nancy is still missing as the result of what authorities believe to be a possible abduction.
Nancy is said to have been taken "against her will" from her home outside of Tucson, Ariz., after she was last seen on the evening of Saturday, Jan. 31.
Savannah, 54, has been absent from the Today show since last week, while she and several of her colleagues continue to ask the public to pray for her mother's safe return.
