Savannah Guthrie Reveals Her Painful Divorce Journey: 'It Took Years to Recover'

Savannah Guthrie has opened up about her devastating divorce more than a decade ago

SCANDALOUS SPLIT! Savannah Guthrie Opens Up About Her Devastating Divorce from 14 Years Ago!

In a shocking revelation, Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie, 53, has finally spilled the beans about her messy divorce from former BBC journalist Mark Orchard, which left her "broken-hearted" and took years to recover from.

Appearing on Monica Lewinsky's popular podcast Reclaiming, Guthrie dished out the juicy details of her failed marriage, saying it was a "horrible and sad" experience that she's only just begun to put behind her. "I'm not blaming anyone," she emphasized, "but I don't really want to get into it."

The 53-year-old Today show anchor was married to former BBC journalist Mark Orchard from 2005-2009

The scandalous split sent shockwaves through Hollywood in 2009 when Guthrie and Orchard parted ways after four years of marriage. But in a candid conversation with Lewinsky, the journalist-turned-TV-host revealed that the ordeal left her feeling vulnerable and embarrassed.

"I'm not going to go into all the gory details," she said firmly, "because I don't think it's necessary." Instead, Guthrie opted to focus on the lessons she learned from the experience, including the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care.

When Lewinsky asked if her publishers had put pressure on her to spill more tea about the divorce, Guthrie chuckled, "I never did get any pushback. And that's great." Her co-host agreed, saying, "You're allowed to have a boundary."

Guthrie's decision to keep the details of her divorce private has raised eyebrows among fans who are accustomed to getting an inside look at her personal life through social media and TV appearances. However, in an era where celebrities often feel pressured to overshare, Guthrie's choice to maintain some level of privacy is a breath of fresh air.

In related news, Guthrie has been married to Michael Feldman since 2014 and the couple celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary last March. The pair have two adorable kids together, Vale (10) and Charley (8), and have built a loving home in Tucson, Arizona.

Guthrie's romance with Feldman began in 2009, just months after her divorce from Orchard was finalized. The couple got engaged in 2013 and tied the knot in Guthrie's hometown of Tucson two years later.

In a rare interview with Drew and Jonathan Scott last year, Guthrie gushed about her husband, saying, "Mike is extremely handy... I thought, 'Wow, here's a sophisticated guy who grew up in the city but who can actually do things.'"

Fans are thrilled to see Guthrie living her best life and sharing her inspiring story with the world. As she said on Reclaiming, "This was us - ten years ago today! And this is us now. I love you now and forever."

Guthrie and Feldman initially began dating in 2009, and they got engaged in 2013
