Chat queen HODA KOTB wants an engagement ring “Today” from her beau, sources said.
Hoda, 50, has been dating Big Apple moneyman Joel Schiffman, 56, for nearly two years, but just recently revealed his name.
“You know what, I didn’t think I would want to get married again,” she said. “I’ve been married once before, but yes, I want to get married again!”
And a pal said: “Hoda hopes to be walking down the aisle by the end of the year!”
Joel has been married once and has an adult daughter.
Hoda was wed to former tennis coach Burzis Kanga from 2005 to 2007.
Hoda – who hosts the fourth hour of “Today” with wineswilling partner Kathie Lee Gifford – had been evasive about naming Joel, blurring his face out in pictures and referring to him as “Boots.”
But she finally opened up about her “wonderful guy” on “Today,” gushing: “You want to have a real deep, honest connection. For me, that is such a valuable part of who you are.
“I’m in love! Love’s good!”
