During the third hour of the Today show on April 4, a lighthearted moment ensued when the hosts shared a humorous exchange about cohost Sheinelle Jones' belly button. The banter began when it was revealed that there had been speculation about Jones not having a belly button, which she jokingly referred to as an 'urban legend.' Jones confirmed that she does indeed have a belly button, albeit with some modifications made after having twins.
The conversation took a comical turn as the hosts discussed the topic, with Jones playfully interacting with her colleagues. The light-hearted atmosphere continued as Jones shared a recent mishap where she fell while running errands in New York City, resulting in bruises and a scrape on her chin. Despite the minor injury, Jones maintained a positive attitude, emphasizing the importance of being mindful of her movements.
Following her brief hiatus from the show for a spring break trip to Puerto Rico, Jones returned to her hosting duties on Today. She filled in for Carson Daly on the first two hours of the show in addition to her regular third-hour slot. The temporary absence was covered by cohost Laura Jarrett, along with Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb, who were also on spring break.
Sharing glimpses of her tropical vacation on Instagram, Jones expressed gratitude for the family time spent in the sun, despite returning to cooler weather in New York City. Her posts reflected a sense of anticipation for warmer days ahead, encapsulating the blend of work and leisure that characterizes her busy schedule.
