Hoda Kotb is happy with her choice to leave her beloved gig at the Today show.

While in attendance at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, La., where the retired news anchor lived throughout the 1990s, Kotb revealed how she knew bringing her successful career to an end was the “right decision.”

“I woke up on the very first day after I made my decision — that Monday at 4:15 — and I have to tell you, everything seemed right,” the 60-year-old explained during an interview with a news publication moments before the big game.

As for what made that morning feel like fate, Kotb noted: “My little girl ran down the stairs and she looked at me and she goes, ‘you are here!’”

“And I go, ‘yes! I’m here.’ So, right decision confirmed,” the mom-of-two — who shares two adopted daughters, Haley, 7, and Hope, 5, with her ex-fiancè, Joel Schiffman, 66 — sweetly shared.

Plus, Kotb feels assured knowing she left the popular daytime news and talk show in good hands.
