Inside Savannah Guthrie’s Marriage to “Hero” Husband Michael Feldman

Watch: Savannah Guthrie Breaks Down in Tears While Sharing Personal Update on Today

Savannah Guthrie is grateful for her husband Michael Feldman today and every day.

And on Father’s Day, the Today host shared just how much he means to her as well as to their 11-year-old daughter Vale and 9-year-old son Charley.

“Our hero,” she captioned a June 21st Instagram post showing Feldman holding their kids, “happy fathers day, @feldmike.”

And the feeling is mutual. In fact, Feldman recently pointed out Guthrie is an anchor both on TV and in their family.

“To the strongest person I know,” the communications consultant wrote on Instagram in May. “Surrounding you with love on Mother’s Day.”

Strength is a quality Guthrie learned from her mother Nancy Guthrie, who’s been missing for more than four months in what police say may have been an abduction. And as the investigation into the 84-year-old’s disappearance continues, the broadcaster believes her mom would want her to return to her day-to-day as much as possible.

“Like, ‘Honey, just keep going. Just keep going,'” Guthrie shared on Today June 8. “So, I am.”

She also credits the matriarch with giving her a deep faith, which she’s turned to throughout her life.

“When I was in my 30s, I really wished to be married and be a mom, and things just did not happen that fast for me,” the 54-year-old recalled on Today in 2023. “And my mom’s confidence that one day I would be a mom—even as the years ticked by and ticked by and ticked by—meant so much to me. She said, ‘Of course you’ll be a mom, Savannah. You’re going to be a mom, and you’re going to be a wonderful mom.'”

Guthrie’s mom was right. After the journalist split from her first husband Mark Orchard, she met Feldman at his 40th birthday party in 2008.

“He walked me to the door, I didn’t even stay very long,” Guthrie shared on The Kelly Clarkson Show in 2025, “and then he emailed me a couple days later.”

Soon after, the pair started dating. Five years later, they got engaged in Turks and Caicos. However, Guthrie actually broke up with Feldman on the day he popped the question.

Tired of waiting for a proposal, “I really didn’t think it was happening,” she continued. “So I was like, ‘Honey, we love each other, but this has been going on too long. Let’s just say goodbye. Let’s just let each other go.'”

Feldman, who had the ring in his pocket, suggested they just enjoy the day. And while Guthrie was “weepy” all afternoon, she continued, she began crying tears of joy when her love proposed as they sipped champagne at sunset.

“It was so shocking to me,” she added, “and I was so happy.”

Guthrie and Feldman tied the knot in March 2014 and surprised guests by announcing at the wedding reception that she was four months pregnant with the couple’s first baby.

“It’s funny, ’cause we set the wedding date, I bought my dress, and then I found out,” she revealed on Today at the time. “So, I’ve been doing a little praying that I would fit in it, and it all worked out.”

Daughter Vale entered the world that August, and brother Charley joined the family two years later. For Guthrie and Feldman, parenthood came at just the right time.

“It was always something I aspired to but never felt like I was ready for,” the 57-year-old told PeopleTV in 2020. “And then when we finally decided to do this together, I felt like it was the right time and everything happens in its time.”

If you scroll through Guthrie and Feldman’s Instagram posts from over the years, you’ll find photos of the family members dressing up for Halloween, cheering on the Philadelphia Eagles, matching in holiday PJs and soaking up the sun on vacations. The duo have also offered glimpses into how they’re introducing their kids to both of their faiths (Guthrie is Christian and Feldman is Jewish).

“Here is what my husband and I have decided together,” she wrote in a 2018 essay for Today, “we are going to share and expose our children to faith, and when they grow up, it will be theirs to choose what their relationship with God looks like for them.”

And as Guthrie continues to lean on her faith amid her search for answers about her mom’s disappearance, she’s taking things day by day.

“Like so many people out there, you can hold all of these things together,” Guthrie said on the June 8 episode of Today. “I try to tell my kids that too. We can hold our sadness, and we can hold our joy. And if you don’t believe it, just watch me. I’m going to show you.”

Father Charles GuthrieSavannah Guthrie was born in Melbourne, Australia, the youngest of three siblings, while dad Charles Guthrie was transferred for work, after which the family moved to Tucson, Ariz., when she was 2.The Today anchor was 16 when Charles died of a heart attack in 1988. She has paid tribute to him frequently over the years, including in 2014 when she was expecting her first baby with husband Mike Feldman.”My father was a seemingly unlikely mix of qualities: always strong, sometimes terrifying, loyal to the end, and disarmingly gentle and tender when it counted,” Savannah wrote on Today.com. “He was also tall, affectionate and funny; he had that personality that people describe as “lighting up the room.”She expressed hope that, in addition to getting Mike’s “quick wit, his peaceful disposition, his kindness,” their child would also inherit her late father’s integrity and moral clarity.

Mother Nancy GuthrieThrough law school at Georgetown and moving to Washington, D.C., and then New York for work, Savannah has maintained a close relationship with mom Nancy, who’s lived in Arizona for 50-plus years. “My mom is an amazing and noble woman,” Savannah told Today.com in 2012, when Nancy turned 70. “She inspires everyone who knows her. She is whip smart, funny, full of integrity and wisdom. She also has the best sense of adventure. She’s always up for something fun.”In 2015, Savannah brought Nancy to Australia to see the room at Sandringham Hospital where the veteran NBC News journalist was born and their family’s house in the suburb of Beaumaris.”I never thought I’d see Australia again,” Nancy said in a Today segment chronicling their journey. She later summed the trip up as “wonderful.””I can’t even believe that we were able to do this in three days,” Nancy said, with Savannah agreeing, “We packed a lot in.”

Savannah also relished seeing her kids with their grandma, telling co-anchor Hoda Kotb on Today in 2018, “I feel like watching my mom now with my kids is so profound. Because I’m seeing the mom that she must have been with me, just the everyday joys.”She noted that Nancy was “so good at playing with them. I appreciate her even more than I thought possible because I see her spunkiness and her quirks.”When Nancy turned 80 in 2022, Savannah paid tribute to her “daring and adventurous” mom on air, explaining, “She has met unthinkable challenges in her life with grit, without self-pity, with determination, and always, always with unshakeable faith. She loves us, her family, fiercely, and her selflessness and sacrifice for us, her steadfastness and her unmovable confidence is the reason any of us grew up to do anything.”
