Now that her youngest little one, Hal, lately turned 4, “It’s sort of time for me,” the ‘Today’ star stated

Jenna Bush Hager is open to the thought of increasing her household.

The former first daughter, 41, confessed on Tuesday’s episode of Today with Hoda & Jenna that she’s open to the thought of getting a fourth child — solely, her husband, Henry Hager, is not as eager on increasing their household.

Jenna was chatting to Sheinelle Jones (who was filling in for co-host Hoda Kotb) about her youngest little one Hal’s latest party when Jones, 45, remarked that she could not consider Hal was already 4.

“I know. It’s sort of time for me to have another baby,” Jenna replied, in accordance with Today.com.

“Is it time?” Jones queried.

“Yeah, but…” stated Jenna, who can be mother to daughters Mila, 10, and Poppy, 7.

Her journalist instincts kicking in, Jones requested, “Can we announce it now?”

Jenna instantly gestured to her abdomen and replied, “Well I’m not [pregnant].”

Jones continued to playfully press her colleague: “Not now, but I’m saying, do you think you’d [want to have another child]?”

“I’d like to have another baby, but no…” an more and more flustered Jenna answered. “You’re going too far.”

Jones was undeterred. “I’m not going too far,” she said. “Anytime you discuss to a girl and she or he’s [noncommittal about having another baby], it’s taking place.”

However, the Everything Beautiful in its Time author set the record straight, insisting that Hal was unlikely to be promoted to big brother.

“No, no, no, we’re not. We’re not. Henry put his foot down. He says we’ve three wholesome infants. I’m 41 [and] I had just a little well being stuff [while pregnant] with Hal,” she explained.

Still, Jones remained convinced that Jenna would find a way to win over her husband and get her wish.

“If you haven’t met Henry, he is so darn cool. You know how much I love your husband. I just think he’s the nicest guy,” she told Jenna, who later admitted that getting Henry onboard could happen, jokingly saying, “Well, I do feel like women usually have the advantage in that area.”

During an episode of Today with Hoda & Jenna earlier this year, Jenna confessed to trying to push Henry into another big life move. She told Kotb, 58, that she gave Henry an ultimatum to either propose to her or she would move to Latin America.

“When we were dating, I was leaving Washington, D.C., and I kind of — in a dramatic fashion you may or may not recognize — said, ‘If you don’t want me to leave for Latin America, we need to get engaged,’ ” she recounted. “It was kind of like a manipulative ultimatum. Real manipulative. And [I said], ‘You know, there are very handsome men over there, but could we get engaged?’ “

Henry outright advised her, “I’m not going to ask you to marry me,” however she started to assume he had modified his thoughts after they went on a date to a elaborate restaurant.

“They brought two glasses of champagne at the end of the meal, and tied around one was the fortune, which they got wrong. It was supposed to say something like, ‘Go and when you come back, I’ll be here.’ But all it said was, ‘Don’t go.’ With champagne,” Jenna stated.

“And Henry is not a champagne fella, so I was like, ‘Yes! I will marry you!'” she continued. “And his face dropped. He could have cried.”

Henry finally popped the query in 2007, and the couple married in a non-public ceremony one 12 months later at former President Bush’s 1,600-acre Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Texas.
