<p>The topic of conversation came up on the Friday, July 11, episode of Today with Jenna & Friends, during which the talk show host, 43, and guest host Dwyane Wade, 43, discussed their friends who have kids.</p>
<p>"Some of my best 'mom friends' — which I sort of hate that term because it implies they're not my true friends — but some of my best mom friends are from the time I had my 12-year-old," said Bush Hager, referring to her daughter Mila.</p>

<p>Bush Hager said that when she had her first child, she was in a "baby group" with some mom friends, including someone who she considers "one of my best friends in the world."</p>
<p>"Now we have pre-teens, and so to go through every stage of life together? I think it is necessary to have that community," she explained.</p>

<p>Wade, who is a father of five, agreed with Bush Hager.</p>
<p>"Especially for your kids. Once they get their friends, these playdates [are] big in the world now, obviously, right? So you have to have a relationship with their parents," he said.</p>
<p>"One, for them to allow their kids to come over or vice versa, but also two, if their parents are going to come over, [you got to get along]," the former basketball star continued.</p>
<p>As for who will sit next to Bush Hager permanently after Hoda Kotb's departure, Bush Hager told PEOPLE last month that there is no rush to find her replacement.</p>
<p>"We're still searching. We definitely want somebody permanent at some point just because that's our show, and I think the Today show is such a family," she said.</p>

<p>"So to have somebody sit in that seat means a lot to all of us. So it will happen. I think we've all just been kind of living day by day and we don't have any developments yet, but we will," Bush Hager continued.</p>
