Jenna Bush Hager lives in Baltimore with her husband, Henry, where she works as a reading resource teacher.

But Jenna will begin on September 14 with the “Today” show where she will cover “a variety of human interest and feature stories” for the morning show.

She will be keeping her teaching job in Baltimore and contribute stories about once a month to the top-rated network morning show.

“I think she can handle it,” said Jim Bell, the executive producer of the Today show. “I think she knows something about pressure and being under some scrutiny. When she came here for a handful of appearances [to promote her books], she knocked it out of the park.”
