Hoda Kotb about relationship with Kevin Costner Hoda Kotb has no issue with dating Kevin Costner.Ever since the Yellowstone alum made a guest appearance on the Today show last month, fans have been pushing for a romance between the actor and the journalist, and now the latter has given a go ahead for a relationship.

During her appearance on Watch What Happens Live, the Today show host was asked about her “connection” with Costner since their interview, to which she replied that she was open to the chance of dating the actor.“Well if the viewers want it!” Hoda, 59, said with a playful tone and a smile.The conversation began when a fan called in to find out Hoda’s thoughts on fans “shipping” her and the 69-year-old actor, as well as whether or not she had communicated with him since he appeared on her show. “The viewers want the two of you to be together,” host Andy Cohen made it easy to understand.“Wait, what!?” Hoda exclaimed with shock.“I have never, ever heard that,” Hoda claimed. “Not one time.”“Well you’ve heard it now, are we doing it?” Savannah Guthrie, who also appeared as a guest, chimed in, urging Hoda to reply with her witty response.
