Hoda Kotb had a once in a lifetime experience at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 when she finally met Tom Cruise in person. Despite the rain pouring down, Kotb didn’t let anything stop her from meeting the Top Gun: Maverick star. She shared a photo of the memorable moment on her Instagram, where she is wearing a wet poncho and a big smile while standing next to Cruise, who also appeared to have wet hair from the Paris rain storms. Kotb captioned the photo, ‘Do you know when you dream of meeting Tom Cruise… And then it finally happens.’ Her co-host, Jenna Bush Hager, jokingly asked if Kotb was wearing a poncho in her dream as well. Savannah Guthrie, another Today anchor, commented ‘Icons only 👏’ on the post. According to reports, Kotb and Cruise bumped into each other on a bridge over the Seine. This special meeting comes after Kotb was surprised to find out that fans were ‘shipping’ her with Kevin Costner. During an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, an audience member asked Kotb about viewers ‘shipping’ her and Costner after his appearance on Today. Kotb was taken aback by the question and jokingly replied, ‘Wait, what?’ It seems like Kotb’s dreamy encounter with Cruise at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 was a highlight of her experience at the event.
