Hoda Kotb confirmed on the “Today” show Thursday morning that her colleague is back in the hospital after being treated for blood clots last month.

“Due to some complications, he is back in the hospital, and he is in very good care,” Kotb, 58, told viewers. “He’s resting, and his doctors are keeping a close eye on him.”

The co-anchor shared that the weatherman, 68, and his family are “grateful” for “all the love, the support and the well-wishes” they have received in recent weeks.

Kotb also revealed that she and Craig Melvin recently FaceTimed with Roker, who gave them a “big thumbs-up.”

“We will see you back here soon, my friend,” Melvin, 43, added.
