3-Year-Old Aspires to Be Like Jenna Bush Hager After Requesting Her Signature Bob Alexa Miller’s 3-year-old daughter, Rylee, has developed a deep admiration for Jenna Bush Hager, the co-host of TODAY. For months, Rylee has been begging her mother to let her get a haircut similar to Hager’s signature bob, a style the young girl has watched on the show with her grandfather, her PawPaw. Miller, who grew up watching TODAY with her parents, explains that Rylee’s fascination began when her grandmother asked her if she wanted a haircut. Rylee immediately responded, “I want my hair cut like Jenna Bush’s,” knowing the co-host’s name and loving her appearance. The request led to a unique outcome. While Rylee’s new bob closely resembles Hager’s, there’s one notable difference: the young girl has bangs. This detail emerged after Rylee, who starts preschool in August, grew impatient waiting for a salon appointment. She attempted to cut her own hair, resulting in a “little hiccup” that required adjustments. Miller notes that the bangs were added to “correct the problem,” ensuring the style matched Jenna’s while accommodating Rylee’s impatience. The transformation has been met with enthusiasm by the entire family. “I love it. I think it looks so good,” Miller says, recalling Rylee’s excitement upon seeing her reflection. The toddler proudly declared, “I look just like Jenna!” when first viewing her new look in the mirror. Jenna Bush Hager’s bob itself became a cultural moment in June 2025 when she debuted the style live on TODAY. The transformation was inspired by her admiration for “White Lotus” star Leslie Bibb’s short hair, which Hager had praised as a “cultural moment” earlier that year. Bibb’s return to the show as a co-host brought her stylist, Chris McMillan, who began the haircut on air.#today #jenna_bush_hager #alexa_miller #rylee #leslie_bibb
