Hoda Kotb stuns fans by teaming up with HGTV icon Joanna Gaines for a jaw-dropping office makeover. The unexpected collaboration marks the stylish launch of Hoda’s new wellness brand — and what they revealed inside the space left everyone talking.

Former “Today” show star Hoda Kotb has revealed she has enlisted HGTV icon Joanna Gaines to revamp her office space for her brand-new wellness business.

Kotb, 60, who stepped down from her on-screen role alongside Jenna Bush Hager in January and moved her children Haley, 7, and Hope, 5, to an expansive home in Bronxville, NY, recently launched a new wellness brand, Joy 101, which allows people to achieve more grounded and calming lifestyles.

And she’s now ready to kick it into full gear by making her large office space her own, tapping Gaines to turn it into an uplifting, “airy, and free” environment.

Kotb revealed that her new workplace would be getting a makeover in a clip shared on Instagram, in which she noted that the entire renovation process would be documented and shown in Gaines’ new series, “Mini Reni.”

Gaines, 47, will showcase her design skills in the season finale of the show. However, the two teamed up to give fans a taste of what they can expect ahead of the episode’s release on July 9.

“I have some big news to share! @JoannaGaines is giving my @joy101 office space a #MiniReni. Tune in to see this transformation on the season finale Wednesday, July 9 at 8p/7c on @MagnoliaNetwork and @StreamOnMax,” Kotb revealed in a video shared on Instagram.

At the beginning of the clip, Gaines admitted that Kotb’s office “feels bigger than what you showed me.”

The former TV host noted that she could “imagine myself, like, walking through the door here and seeing something happen.”

Kotb added that she wants the space to “feel uplifting and airy and free.”

“I was like, ‘I don’t know anything about spaces.’ And I was thinking, ‘Who would I call who could help me? Who would know?’ And only one name popped in, and it was, like, clear as day, and it was Joanna,” she explained.

Meanwhile, Gaines—who previously shed light on her decision to take on the show “Mini Reni” without her husband, Chip—revealed that she is focusing on ensuring the space feels “special” because it will be the “epicenter” of Kotb’s brand.

“As I stepped into that space for the first time, I thought, it’s like the perfect template for a ‘mini reni’ in that it’s white walls. It’s very simple, and all I need to do now is build on those layers, that story, and all the pretty stuff,” the HGTV reality lead said.

Kotb revealed that her new workplace would be getting a makeover in a clip shared to Instagram, in which she noted that the entire renovation process would be documented and shown in Gaines' new series, "Mini Reni."

Kotb first teased that she was teaming up with Gaines in February—one month after she stepped off the “Today” set for the last time.

“We have something fun cooking,” Kotb said in a post with Gaines at the time.

The news of their collab comes just one day after Kotb confessed that she decided to quit the Big Apple because her daughter Hope had been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

During a May 28 appearance on “Today,” Kotb explained there was another reason behind her decision, conceding that she wanted to spend more time with her daughter, rather than worrying about her health constantly because she was away from her.

“As anyone with a child who has Type 1 [diabetes], especially a little kid, you’re constantly watching, you’re constantly monitoring, you’re constantly checking, which is what I did all the time when I was [on the ‘Today’ show]. You’re distracted,” she shared.

“You just get a priority check in your life. I can be here and sweating what’s happening to Hope in the morning and in the night, or I can be there and feel relief that I can see.”

Kotb first revealed that her younger daughter was struggling with a health issue in March 2023, when she explained that Hope had been hospitalized for an undisclosed condition.

Less than two years later, Kotb decided to move her family to Bronxville, NY, where she purchased a stunning $2.9 million property just a short walk from her kids’ school.

Speaking to Today.com ahead of her last day on the show, Kotb opened up about her desire to embrace a new routine with her kids at the four-bedroom, five-bathroom, center-hall Colonial.

She was excited to have a more “normal” day-to-day regimen after years of early mornings, she explained.

“I’m just going to let us be a family with a normal rhythm of life. See what we become,” the on-air celebrity, who was replaced by Craig Melvin, said.

“I’m going to let [my daughters] take more trips and stay up a little later because part of the reason I put them to bed at that hour is because I’ve got to go to bed. I’m like, ‘Goodnight! Everyone’s going to bed.’ They’re like, ‘It’s 6:30!’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, lights out!’”

Kotb said in August that she had a vision when it came to finding the perfect family home, revealing in an episode of “Today” that she wanted to create a “warm and cozy” environment where her children could relax and find sanctuary.

Kotb previously shared a rare glimpse of her suburban New York home during Easter—months after she revealed she finally walked her kids to school after quitting "Today."

“It’s all new,” she said of her move. “New kids, new school, new things, new everything. And it’s funny because all I could think of was I want my house for the kids to feel warm and cozy and a place where they want to hang. And that’s it.”

She added in an interview with People: “I want my kids to feel grass on their feet, and play in the yard, and ride bikes down the street, and run up and down the stairs.”

In October, just a few months after her move, Kotb further shared how moving to the suburbs had helped Hope to overcome her severe health issues—albeit without disclosing what those issues were.

“We’re in a place where Hope is thriving,” noted Kotb. “She’s improving, we’re watching her, and I think as time goes on, we’ll have a better handle on it, but we’re already seeing great differences.

“I have people helping us out. I feel like she is finding steady footing.”
