Savannah Guthrie mentioned her mom heritage on the “Today” show Thursday morning, seven months into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.
“My mother’s family — my mother was Irish, [as was] her grandmother,” the co-host told viewers. “They were from Galway.”

The 54-year-old — along with Sheinelle Jones, Jenna Bush Hager and the rest of their morning crew — wore green for the occasion.
“I love that we’re all going,” Savannah gushed. “I’ve never been to Ireland.”
The journalist, notably, spoke about her parent in the past tense — and she has previously acknowledged that Nancy may be dead after the 84-year-old’s February abduction from her Arizona home.
Weeks into the search for Nancy, Savannah posted an Instagram plea to her captors and said, “We … know that she may be lost.”
Savannah added, “She may already be gone. She may have already gone home to the Lord that she loves and is dancing in Heaven with her mom and her dad and with her beloved brother Pierce and with our daddy, [Charles Guthrie].
