“I was actually with a girlfriend and we were walking down a street and I remember it like it was yesterday,” she recalled. “…Because I had never shared it with anyone that I had wanted — I still yearned for [having children] because it seemed like wanting to go to the moon, it’s not happening, so don’t even bring it up.”
“So she said, ‘Well, neither of us really wanted to have children.’ I looked at her and I said, ‘Well, I do.’ I didn’t say did, I said I do. She looked at me and she goes, ‘What?’ I started crying. I said, ‘I do. I do.’ I said it out loud, ‘I do,’ " Hoda told host Zoë Ruderman, Head of Digital at PEOPLE.
“It was so weird. It was an everyday moment that turned into an epiphany and I had never spoken it,” she added.
Hoda, who later welcomed her two daughters via adoption with Schiffman, said it wasn’t until that moment when she “said it out loud” that she realized she had to become a mother.
