Savannah Guthrie holds her family close to her heart. The Today co-anchor has been married twice, and she found the love of her life in current husband Michael Feldman. Their love story is quite a tale; she actually broke up with Michael the day he proposed to her.
“We had at that point been dating for five-and-a-half years,” Savannah explained during a March 2025 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. “Again, we weren’t 20 when we got married. … My mother [Nancy Guthrie] was like, ‘You two, you need to either do it or don’t. Just do something.’”
Fortunately, Savannah and Michael ended up tying the knot, and they became a family. Get to know Savannah’s husband and former husband below.
Yes, as previously noted, Savannah is married to her husband, Michael, a public relations and communications consultant and a former Democratic political adviser. Michael previously served as former Vice President Al Gore’s traveling chief of staff during his 2000 presidential election campaign.
Savannah and Michael first met in 2009 and dated for more than five years before he popped the question. But that day turned out to be a dramatic one because the NBC personality dumped her then-boyfriend because he hadn’t proposed yet, Savannah revealed during a 2025 interview with Kelly Clarkson.
“We had at that point been dating for five-and-a-half years. Again, we weren’t 20 when we got married,” she said. “My mother was like, ‘You two, you need to either do it or don’t. Just do something.’ So, we had this trip planned. I certainly did not think we were getting engaged because when you’ve been dating for five-and-a-half years, you no longer think a trip to the beach is the day. Like, you’re not getting your nails done.”
