This was not the first time Hager mentioned her driving skills, or lack thereof.
“You would think I’d be an excellent driver,” Hager quipped.
However, when Hager first learned that Bush wanted to run for office, she was anything but excited.
“We broke out in tears,” Hager said of her and her sister’s response.
“As only twins can do, we cried in unison… We said, ‘No!’
We said, ‘You’re gonna ruin our lives, Dad,'” she said.
We could visit, but also have our own lives, which I think is very healthy.”
Unfortunately, living as regular college students didn’t serve them particularly well.
In 2001, Hager was arrested for unlawful possession of alcohol and using a fake ID to purchase alcohol.
Hager’s arrest followed her in many ways, including within her own family.

The freedom to just be ourselves and to make mistakes,” Hager said.

Hager was experiencing an ectopic pregnancy, meaning the fetus was in her fallopian tube.
The host had to undergo surgery to remove the fetus from her fallopian tube, resulting in pregnancy loss.
Time heals all wounds, though, and Hager has since shifted her perspective of losing that first pregnancy.
“And I always think about those little twists that felt like the hardest heartbreaks.”
Hager’s heartbreak has also led her to connecting more deeply with other women.
Jenna detailed the guilt she felt for leaving a door open and inviting kids over in the first place.
Jenna tried to see the positive in the situation.
