Hoda Kotb is definitely keeping tabs on her Today family.

In fact, her former fourth hour co-host Jenna Bush Hager revealed she still gets constructive criticism from Hoda, who left the NBC morning news show earlier this year.

"She's giving feedback," Jenna exclusively told E! News in a joint interview with twin sister Barbara Bush. "She's so supportive. You all know Hoda, she's like the most supportive, amazing force. But she definitely is like, 'Okay, that was great' or 'this is great.' She definitely has opinions, which I love. I care about what she thinks." (Watch E! News tonight, March 27, at 11 p.m. for more exclusive scoop from the Bush twins.)

Now that several months have passed since Hoda's departure, Jenna has better perspective on the journalist's decision to spend more time with daughters Haley, 9, Hope, 5.

"It was a really good lesson in saying goodbye because I was so sad," the former First Daughter—who is mom to kids Mila, 11, Poppy, 9, and Hal, 5, with husband Henry Chase Hager—admitted. "It was almost unthinkable that she wouldn't be here."
