Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski Celebrates Daughter Emilie’s Georgetown Law Graduation: ‘We Are So Proud’
Mika Brzezinski is celebrating the special achievements of her graduate — daughter Emilie Hoffer. The Morning Joe cohost shared a post on Instagram congratulating her daughter for completing her studies at Georgetown Law.
“A fantastic evening celebrating the 2025 graduates of @georgetownlawofficial Congratulations to all the graduates, especially our @emiliehoffer — We are so proud of you! And Cali too!!! #congratulations #youdidit #georgetownuniversitylawcenter,” the proud mom captioned her May 19 Instagram post.
Mika, 58, attached several photos of her daughter on the big day as she wore her cap and gown and celebrated with family. The Know Your Value founder shares Emilie and daughter Carlie Hoffer with her ex-husband, Jim Hoffer. The journalists were married from 1993 to 2016. She went on to marry her second husband, Morning Joe cohost Joe Scarborough, in 2018 and they continue to host the talk show together.
The mom of two has opened up about motherhood a number of times through the years, whether it’s online in a candid post or on social media.
“This year, my girls have stepped up for me in ways I couldn’t imagine years ago. And I am so grateful,” she reflected in a May 2023 post on MSNBC after losing her mother, Emilie Benes Brzezinski, the year prior.
“And when your daughters develop their own relationships, navigate their first careers, or decide to have kids, they’ll go through great highs and low lows – and they’ll begin to realize they need their moms a lot more than they thought,” she added. “So, in the really tough moments, (especially if you feel like you have to walk on eggshells) know that your daughter also loves you so much, and she is likely still learning who she is and how to express herself.”

“I hope the young women out there learn this lesson faster than I did,” she said.
In addition to her two daughters, Joe shares four kids with his exes. Joe also previously dished on his parenting style and how his relationship with his father shaped the way that he parents his own children.
“My view of fatherhood has changed through the years. I’m 55 now, and it took me about 50 years to understand just what being a good father is,” he told MSNBC in June 2018. “I look back at my own father, and while we had a great relationship, I did what a lot of children do – we judge some of the things our parents did, nitpick about things we didn’t agree with.”
“But the older I got the more I realized how blessed I was to have him always there. He was there when we went to church, when we were getting ready for school, for my baseball games. He was a constant presence in our lives and that’s what counts,” he said. “Someone once told me, ‘There’s no such thing as quality time. Fatherhood is all about quantity. You can’t water a plant once a month – you have to be there day in, day out.’ That’s something I’ve always remembered. More than anything, I judge myself as a father.”
