Hoda Kotb has broken her silence on Kelly Rowland's walk-off from the "Today with Hoda and Jenna" show last week.

The broadcaster confirmed that she has no ill feelings for the "Mea Culpa" actress after the latter walked off her show at the last minute last Thursday. Instead, she professed her "great love and admiration" for the actress-singer.

"I just want to say this: I have great love and admiration for Kelly Rowland. I adore her, and I want her to come back on our show, and I want her to host again," she said.

Meanwhile, her co-host, Jenna Bush Hager, echoed her sentiment, saying, "She is welcome any time!"

Kotb repeated Hager's reply, saying, "Of course, she is," then quipped, "She can share my dressing room. We'll be in it together!"

"Anyway, I just wanted to say that we love her. We've loved her on this show for many, many, many years," she continued.

The "Today" host proceeded to give Rita Ora a shout-out to thank her for co-hosting the show with her at the last minute.

"And on another note, we want to give a shout-out to Rita Ora, who did a phenomenal job. We have great women on this show," Kotb expressed her gratitude.

Last Thursday, Rowland "dramatically walked out" of NBC's "Today" show due to a subpar dressing room, per Page Six.

The Destiny's Child alum was expected to fill in for Bush Hager as Kotb's guest co-host on "Today with Hoda & Jenna" after appearing as a guest on the 8 a.m. hour of "Today." She was supposed to promote her new Netflix film, "Mea Culpa," which she stars in and co-produced with the film's writer and director, Tyler Perry.

However, she allegedly backed out because of the subpar dressing room, leaving the talk show host scurrying to find a new guest host. Fortunately, Ora took the spot.

"Kelly and her team were not happy. They did not like the dressing room, so they decided to pull her off the show, leaving [Kotb] without a guest for the 10 a.m. hour," a source told Page Six.

Meanwhile, Rowland's representative shared a statement amid the dressing room debacle. While the rep didn't directly address the incident, they said nothing but good things about the actress.

"After 28 years of knowing her, Kelly Rowland remains one of the kindest, most amiable humans I have ever met and have had the blessing to represent," the rep told Entertainment Tonight.
