Savannah Guthrie may be one of the most recognizable faces on morning news as one half of the team fronting NBC’s Today, but to her two kids, she’s always been “mom.”
The 53-year-old veteran news anchor is a mother to two kids, daughter Vale and son Charles aka Charley, shared with her husband Michael Feldman.
As the two get older, they’re stepping into the spotlight even more, and it looks like they’re ready to follow in their mom’s well-trod journalistic footsteps.
Read on to learn all you need to know about Savannah’s two children…
Vale Guthrie Feldman, 10
Savannah and Michael welcomed their first child, a daughter named Vale, on August 13, 2014. Savannah was 42 when she had Vale, and has spoken about the fears that came with becoming a mother later in life.

“We had our kids late,” she said on an episode of former co-host Hoda Kotb’s podcast Making Space. “You know, you go through life, you have your ups and downs, your heart breaks a few dozen times. You get some scar tissue.”
“I was so totally vulnerable to them. Because I knew … if anything happened to them, I would not be OK. I wouldn’t be OK. And it was terrifying. I was totally terrified by my vulnerability. So that was the first thing I learned from being a mom.”
Vale is very much her mom’s twin in several ways, an enthusiast when it comes to the Olympics and gymnastics just like Savannah, as well as being a certified Swiftie.

Charles “Charley” Guthrie Feldman, 8
Savannah and Michael welcomed their son Charles “Charley” Max Guthrie Feldman on December 8, 2016, less than three weeks before his mom’s own birthday on December 27.

Charley is a bit more rambunctious than his sister, but shares a lot of the same interests, including a dedication for sports. He and his entire family are fans of the Philadelphia Eagles, being on set when Jalen Hurts visited Today after winning Super Bowl LIX.
