    She said: "We're in a place where Hope is thriving. She's improving, we're watching her, and I think as time goes on, we'll have a better handle on it, but we're already seeing great differences.

    "We really have excellent care; I have people helping us out. I feel like she is finding steady footing."

    Over the summer, Hoda revealed that the motivation behind the move was to give her children a better quality of life away from the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple.

    Speaking to the same outlet, she explained: "I want my kids to feel grass on their feet, and play in the yard, and ride bikes down the street, and run up and down the stairs.

    "I just see that life for them in this perfect house in this beautiful little town where I know they'll be able to blossom into beautiful, independent, strong women."

    As well as the big move, Hoda also announced last month she will stepping down from the 'Today' show after 17 years as she aims to focus on her family.

    She'll be officially leaving the programme at the start of 2025, but she'll still remain with the network in other roles.

    She said: "Happily and gratefully, I plan to remain a part of the NBC family, the longest work relationship I've been lucky enough to hold close to my heart."
