Savannah Guthrie: The Style Icon Anchoring Today

Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie has been waking up the nation for the past 13 years

Savannah Guthrie: The Ultimate TV Powerhouse!

Get ready for a juicy dose of celebrity gossip, because we're diving into the fascinating life of Savannah Guthrie, co-host of NBC's Today show!

For over 13 years, this stunning broadcast journalist has been waking up America with the latest headlines. But what makes her tick? Is it her razor-sharp journalistic skills, her infectious smile, or her enviable sense of style?

For the last seventh months she has co-anchored the NBC show with Craig Melvin

As a constant presence on the Today show, Savannah has seen it all – from breaking news to making history alongside Hoda Kotb as the first female duo to front the program! And let's be real, who wouldn't want to be besties with the lovely Hoda?

But behind that iconic anchor desk, Savannah is more than just a pretty face (although, can we talk about those piercing blue eyes for a sec?). She's got substance, folks!

The Scholarly Note Exclusive

Savannah began her Today show co-anchoring career with Matt Lauer (pictured), who was fired in 2017 for sexual harassment

We spoke exclusively with fashion guru Liz Teich, founder of The New York Stylist, who gushed about Savannah's sartorial splendor: "Savannah's style is professional, yet approachable, has personality, and doesn't feel as tired as the expected jeweled tone shift dress that most people in news tend to gravitate towards." Liz continued, "She keeps it classic, yet still trend-forward (never trendy), tailored, as well as isn't afraid of unexpected color or patterns."

A Legacy of Friendship

Savannah's on-screen chemistry with her co-hosts is undeniable. But did you know that she's particularly close to Jenna Bush Hager? The two grew close shortly after Savannah became a Today show anchor in 2012, and they've been inseparable ever since! In fact, Savannah is godmother to Jenna's youngest child, Henry Harold 'Hal' Hager, whom she welcomed with her husband in 2019. Talk about a double dose of awesomeness!

Savannah brought the Today show into a new era with Hoda in January 2018

A Star-Studded Crossover

When she's not co-hosting the Today show, Savannah loves to dabble in acting. This year alone, she made two TV cameo appearances: in season two of Netflix's action-packed thriller The Night Agent and in Netflix drama Zero Day, starring Robert De Niro! "I just act like Savannah Guthrie all day and all night," she joked to her Today show colleagues.

Love, Loss, and Laughter

The duo hosted the show together from January 2018 to January 2025

Savannah's personal life is a whirlwind of romance, heartbreak, and humor. She met her husband Michael Feldman at his 40th birthday party – yes, you read that right! They hit it off immediately and started dating after he sent her an email "a few days later." But did you know that Savannah broke up with him hours before he proposed because she thought he would never pop the question? Talk about a dramatic twist!

In February, Savannah revealed that she told Michael: "Well, honey, you know we love each other... but this had been going on too long, so I think let's just say goodbye. Let's just let each other go." But little did she know, he had an engagement ring in his pocket! What a romantic surprise!

The Power of Vulnerability

Savannah is also close friends with fellow Today show star Jenna Bush Hager

In a candid conversation with Monica Lewinsky for her Reclaiming podcast, Savannah opened up about her brief marriage to BBC News presenter Mark Orchard, which ended in 2009. She shared that interviewees have respected her decision to avoid talking about the marriage breakdown and has appreciated their discretion.

The Today Show's New Era

As Savannah continues to thrive alongside Craig Melvin as co-hosts of the Today show, we can't help but wonder what's next for this TV powerhouse! Will she continue to make waves in the world of journalism? Only time will tell!

Both women are godmothers to each other's children
