NOT TODAY
Hoda's commentary on love comes after fans noticed some awkward tension during the live morning broadcast.
Fans said Savannah appeared to snap at Hoda and a guest last week on the show.
Viewers also say it appeared that Hoda snubbed Savannah during a live performance from Lizzo on Friday's broadcast.
At one point, Hoda, 57, excitedly grabbed Lizzo's hand and guided her into the packed crowd to greet her fans.
While the children's book author had her moment with Lizzo, viewers noticed she didn't wait for her co-host, Savannah, to join them.
A source close to production on the Today Show exclusively told The Sun that despite their sunny dispositions towards each other on TV, behind the scenes, Savannah and Hoda secretly "can't stand each other."
"Savannah is the boss. After Matt Lauer was ousted, Savannah grabbed power, and she really wanted Willy Geist in Hoda's role, but his ratings were just not up to par for the network."
"Hoda out maneuvered Savannah and got the spot."
