Hoda’s CHANGE OF HEART

Hoda Kotb has been in a world of pain since parting ways with fiancé Joel Schiffman — so much so, the Today show anchor, 57, is begging the financier, 63, for a second chance. “Hoda’s an emotional wreck,” admits a source. “She gets teary at everything at the drop of a hat, to the point where people are walking on eggshells trying not to upset her.” The former couple, who share daughters Haley, 4, and Hope, 2, and were together since 2013, called off their engagement in January. As Star has previously reported, Joel and Hoda had been butting head over their nuptials — he wanted a small stateside ceremony whereas she dreamed of a big destination wedding. “Hoda knows she messed up and is making so many promises to Joel,” says the source. “She’d do almost anything to get him back.” ★
