In one snapshot, O’Connor flashed a smile in a mirror selfie while cuddling an adorable pooch. In another, she beamed at the camera, with Manganiello visible on the TV screen in the background. (The couple recently made their relationship Instagram official, much to the delight of fans.)
O’Connor’s impromptu tour of the Today show dressing rooms followed a recent incident involving singer Kelly Rowland, 43, made headlines after abruptly exiting the show’s set on February 15, where she was slated to host the fourth hour alongside Hoda Kotb.
Rita Ora ultimately stepped in to co-host with Kotb after Rowland’s departure, sparking rumors about dissatisfaction with the dressing rooms.
Addressing the situation, Rowland’s rep emphasized her client’s enduring kindness, while Kotb expressed her admiration and desire for Rowland’s return to the show.
However, during an interview, Rowland chose to focus solely on promoting her Netflix movie, Mea Culpa, sidestepping questions about the Today show incident.
In a seeming show of solidarity, Kotb and co-host Savannah Guthrie acknowledged the cramped conditions of the dressing rooms, hinting at the need for an upgrade.
With discussions swirling around the Today show’s behind-the-scenes dynamics, O’Connor’s light-hearted Instagram Stories provided a refreshing glimpse into the inner workings of the iconic morning program.
