Shark Tank star Barbara Corcoran shocked Today hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager with her secret to having a happy marriage — so much so, the broadcast hit an awkward snag as the co-hosts tried to get the interview back on track.
The hilarious moment began when they shared a photo of Corcoran and her husband Bill Higgins, whom she married in 1988.
“You and your husband have been married for almost 40 years,” Bush Hager began. “What keeps it fun?”
Corcoran wasted no time at all when she responded, “Separate bedrooms.”
After a pause, Bush Hager asked her, “For real?”
“Really,” Corcoran replied. “I’ve had a separate bedroom with Bill for like, 40 years. I have to invite him in, he invites me in, it keeps the sexiness in the whole thing.”
Despite their evident shock, Kotb asked her to expand on why they chose to keep their own rooms. “I like that,” Kotb commented. “But why did you decide to do that initially?”
Corcoran was candid in her response: “Because he’s such a mess, I mean he puts pile of stuff everywhere, and I’m very neat. So I couldn’t sleep well at night, and now I sleep like a baby,” she replied.
It was certainly a revelation for the Today hosts, though it evidently caught them off guard. “Well, okay then,” Kotb replied while looking directly into the camera, as if it were a scene in The Office.
Later on in the interview, the Today hosts gushed over a photo of Corcoran and her husband dressed as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. The picture showed Corcoran wearing a long wig, marking a big change from her signature pixie cut.
“Okay, y’all are crazy!” Bush Hager commented.
The Shark Tank star noted that her husband “was so happy that day,” adding, “To see me with long hair, it drove him crazy!”
The comment made both Bush Hager and Kotb laugh, spurring Bush Hager to joke, “He was invited into your bedroom that night for sure!”
Today with Hoda and Jenna airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.
