Savannah Guthrie praises ‘hero’ husband Michael Feldman for Father’s Day
Savannah Guthrie paid tribute to her husband, Michael Feldman, on Father’s Day Sunday.
The “Today” anchor shared a photo of her husband snuggling with their two children — daughter Vale, 11, and son Charley, 9 — on her Instagram Stories, writing, “our hero ❤️. happy fathers day.”
Guthrie, 54, and Feldman, 57, have been married since March 2014. She was previously married to BBC presenter Mark Orchard from 2005 to 2009.
Last month, Feldman also shared a touching tribute to his wife on Mother’s Day amid a heartbreaking time. Guthrie’s mother, 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, remains missing after she was last seen on Jan. 31.
Feldman wrote, “To the strongest person I know,” alongside a pic of Savannah kissing Vale and Charley.
“Surrounding you with love on Mother’s Day. ❤️💔❤️,” he added.
Nancy is believed to have been taken from her home in Tucson, Arizona, by a masked suspect. In February, Feldman told Page Six that he was “just being responsive” but felt “mostly unhelpful” amid the devastating situation.
Still, he was extremely supportive of his wife, visiting the “Today” crew on her behalf in February.
An insider who was present described the meeting to Page Six as “very emotional.”
“There were a lot of tears,” they said.
Savannah returned to the “Today” show in April, and earlier this month, she emotionally acknowledged how difficult it was to keep working as her mom remains missing.
“I’ve been trying so hard to hold it together and I promise I will — this show and this hour especially is about joy,” the journalist said through tears during the fourth hour of the show, which she co-hosted with her colleague and close pal, Jenna Bush Hager.
She added, “Sometimes it’s almost too much because I feel like to do the job I got to keep it together, pull it together.”
She heartbreakingly admitted, “I cry every morning on the way to work and I cry every morning on the way home.”
Last month, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said that Nancy’s investigation “remains active and ongoing” after Ramona Guadalupe Ayala Ortiz, head of Buscando Corazones Nogales — a group that works to locate missing people in Mexico — said they received a tip that a grave belonging to Nancy may have been found, sparking a massive search effort south of the border.
Nanos said that the police department had “not been contacted by Mexican authorities” at the time, but were continuing “to follow up on any credible information.”
