The Truth About Hoda Kotb's Ex-Husband

According to Closer Weekly, Hoda Kotb and Burzis Kanga met at a February 14 fundraiser event in New Orleans for the American Heart Association. While Kanga had spent most of his life in New Orleans, Kotb was working as a local news anchor. Though it is uncertain when exactly they started dating, Kotb would later move to New York City after getting a job at NBC’s Dateline. At this point, she and Kanga’s relationship was mostly on and off.

In May 2005, after years of dating, Kotb and Burzis got engaged. They got married in December of that year in a Dominican Republic ceremony and for a while, things were good between the couple. “And married life has been great,” Kotb gushed to New Orleans Living. “If I would have known it was this much fun, I probably would have done it a long time ago!”

Things, however, did not turn out so great for the couple. In February 2007, only a little over one year into their marriage, Kotb filed for divorce. One year later, their divorce was finalized — on February 14 to be precise. “What’s funny about Valentine’s Day is that I used to not like it at all,” Kotb admitted in 2016 (via theNew York Daily News). “Way back when, Valentine’s Day was the day that I had met my first husband and the day that later on, just by chance, that our divorce became final.”
