Jenna Bush Hager Shares Her Cringe-Worthy Luna Bar Experience
Jenna Bush Hager has never been shy about sharing personal stories on her popular show Today with Hoda & Jenna, but recently she revealed an anecdote so shocking it had her co-host Hoda Kotb in disbelief. During a segment, Jenna shared a cringe-worthy memory involving Luna Bars and her husband, Henry Hager, from a past New Year’s celebration. What initially seemed like a simple snack choice during a hike turned into a funny, yet horrifying moment that made Jenna vow never to touch a Luna Bar again.
In the conversation, Jenna recounted a time when she and Henry were out hiking, preparing to watch the sunrise. However, what was meant to be a peaceful moment soon turned into a situation she could never forget. She explained how Henry insisted on stopping for a Luna Bar, but his behavior with the snack took a strange turn, leaving Jenna with a permanent aversion to the bars.
This story, which Jenna described as “you’re better off not knowing,” is not only hilarious but shows the quirky and unexpected sides of her marriage. From her initial reluctance to take a break for the snack to the bizarre situation that ensued, Jenna’s experience with Luna Bars has become a running joke in her life, making it an unforgettable moment in her marriage.
A Surprising Moment on New Year’s That Changed Everything
As Jenna and Hoda were discussing Lady Gaga’s recent proposal story during the show, Jenna decided to share the peculiar detail about her own proposal from Henry. She revealed that their engagement took place on Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park in Maine, a scenic location that many would dream of for such an occasion. However, Jenna admitted that she wasn’t in the best mood at the time of the proposal.
She explained that, before Henry popped the question, she was “very cranky” from the cold weather. Despite this, Henry suggested they stop for a snack, specifically a Luna Bar, to enjoy the sunrise together. Jenna, however, was far from interested in the snack, claiming she was “too cold to stop.” Henry, not to be deterred, persisted, and after some back-and-forth, they finally stopped for a break.
Little did Jenna know, that Luna Bar break would forever be tied to an uncomfortable memory she would share in later years. The story of how a simple snack turned into a cringe-worthy moment involving Henry’s actions is a perfect example of how, sometimes, the smallest things in life can become the most memorable.

Why Jenna Will Never Eat a Luna Bar Again

What started as a typical snack break on their hike became a bizarre and gross experience involving her husband. While Jenna didn’t go into explicit details, she made it clear that it was a situation that left her disgusted, and she humorously admitted that the memory would forever haunt her whenever she saw a Luna Bar.
Henry’s actions with the Luna Bar are something Jenna said she’ll “never be able to erase from her memory.” Although she didn’t dive into too many specifics, the mere mention of the incident was enough to make her cringe, and it was clear from her tone that she would never be able to look at the snack the same way again.
