Savannah Guthrie’s Ups and Downs Over the Years: Multiple COVID-19 Diagnoses and More

As upbeat as she may seem on TV, Savannah Guthrie knows what it’s like to deal with loss. Alongside her incredible success as the cohost of Today, the television journalist has also had her fair share of hardships throughout the years.

Guthrie — who shares daughter Vale and son Charley, named after her father, with husband Michael Feldman — has been candid about the pregnancy loss she suffered after giving birth to Vale in 2014.

“I didn’t want to get my hopes up. I just tried to tell myself that it would be OK if it didn’t happen: Maybe it’s not meant for me, and that’s OK because I’ve already been blessed so much in my life. I’m not entitled to have a baby too,” Guthrie told Good Housekeeping in March 2022. “Looking back, that mindset was probably a self-defense mechanism.”

After deciding to undergo in-vitro fertilization treatments (IVF) in order to have a second child, Guthrie realized just how much it takes to bring a child into this world.

“Going through what we did, it makes you realize that everything has to go just right to have a healthy baby. I really feel for so many women who are struggling and wishing and wondering, ‘When’s it gonna be my turn?’ I know. And I understand,” she added.
