HODA Kotb has appeared to shade Kim Kardashian by bringing up her past marriage on The Today Show.

The presenter recalled Kim's short-lived romance with Kris Humphries while interviewing Kourtney on Monday.

Hoda, 58, revealed she has known Kourtney, 43, for years, reflecting on the time they co-hosted The Today Show together in 2011.

Putting the memory into context, she said: "Let's just explain to you. Mason [Kourtney's son] was 21 months. Isn't that crazy?"

The anchor added, laughing: "He was coming up being the ring bearer at Kim and Kris' wedding!"

The show then skipped to footage of Mason walking up the aisle at the wedding.

Kim, 41, and Kris, 37, tied the knot in 2011. Their marriage famously lasted 72 days.

The SKIMS founder rarely talks about their relationship, however she did admit last year that she felt "pressured" to go through with the wedding because it was being filmed for KUWTK.

“We’re filming this for a TV show," she recalled to Andy Cohen last summer during the KUWTK reunion.

"If I leave, I’m gonna be known as the runaway bride forever and it’s gonna be a huge joke and I think I just have I had cold feet.

"I was like, ‘Okay guys, it’s just cold feet. I got this. It’s cold feet. We’re filming a show.’ You know, the show paid us, obviously, a fee to film the show."

The TV star added: "I took my entire fee and probably Kris’ because I wanted a bigger wedding than what they were gonna pay for. I spent all of our production money on the wedding.

"So if that was fake, I would have saved my money.”

Later, Andy asked if she “partially went through with the wedding because of the show” and she replied: “Yes. I will say because I felt pressured. I felt like I was gonna let everyone down.”

Back in May, Kim appeared to make a joke about Kris' sexuality on an episode of her show, The Kardashians.

She was shown preparing for her friend Simon Huck's wedding in the scene.

Kim joked: "I love a gay wedding! I haven't been to one since my second wedding."
