NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: ‘Today’s beloved host Jenna Bush Hager recently shared intimate photos from her family vacation with her husband Henry and daughters Mila and Poppy. However, her son Hal was nowhere to be seen.

The former first daughter took to her Instagram to share adorable pics of her daughters from their trip but notably, Hal wasn’t in any of the snaps.

While Hal has always been part of Hager’s family vacations, it's unclear what led to his absence this time around.

Just last February, Hal vacationed with the rest of his family at Universal Studios. Hager shared the photos on her Instagram where the family posed in front of the iconic Universal Studios globe.

She captioned the post, “LOVE is UNIVERSAL”

Jenna Bush Hager’s family time

Last Friday, Jenna Bush Hager treated her Instagram followers to a series of snapshots. The pics included her daughters enjoying a cozy breakfast in bed, their hands playfully raised overhead while a tray of food rested before them.

Later in the day, the family embarked on an educational outing to a museum, capturing a moment when one of her daughters was utterly captivated by a painting.

Mila and Poppy posed for a snapshot in front of The Thinker statue. The iconic statue is typically found in Paris, France, suggesting that the family was enjoying a vacation in the City of Lights.

Hager then shared a candid moment, capturing a photo through a slightly smudged mirror, featuring Mila, Poppy, and her husband, Henry Hager.

It seemed they had ventured out for another meal and took the opportunity to capture a cherished family photograph.

As this was the sole photo dump that Hager shared, it remains unclear whether the family is still on vacation or if this was a snapshot of a particular day during their travels.

Where is Jenna Bush Hager’s son Hal?

Curiously, in all the photos Jenna Bush Hager shared, her four-year-old son, Henry, ‘Hal’, was conspicuously absent. No images of him on the trip were featured in her posts.

While it's possible that he might be considered too young for a trip to Paris, or wherever the family was visiting, it's noteworthy that he has accompanied them on previous journeys.

It is uncertain whether he stayed home or had other arrangements, as Hager didn't provide any details regarding his absence.
