LIVE CONFESSION: Savannah Guthrie Breaks Silence on Fiery Dispute Between Ex-Husband Orchard and Michael Feldman

Guthrie sat down with Lewinsky for a candid chat that explored grief, faith, career pivots, and the Today host’s new book Mostly What God Does Is Love You. In a particularly vulnerable moment, while explaining how she sets boundaries about what she will and will not write about, Guthrie opened up about her painful split from Orchard.

“I just had this whole reverie. I don’t want to talk about that. For example, I don’t want to talk about getting divorced,” she explained. “It was horrible and sad and it broke my heart and it took me years to recover. And I’m not blaming anyone, but I don’t really want to get into it, you know?”

Orchard is a British journalist, who formerly worked as a White House correspondent and at Al Jazeera English. They tied the knot in 2005, and less than four years later, Guthrie filed for divorce.

After their split, Guthrie began dating Michael Feldman, a former Democratic political aide. The two got engaged in 2013 and married in March 2014. They welcomed a daughter, Vale, the same year and a son, Charles, in 2016.

During the interview, Guthrie also touched on her current marriage and the idea of having kids. “When we were dating, and by the way we dated for five and a half years,” she started. “We both had commitment issues for our own reasons. You know, I met him very soon after getting separated and divorced, so I was like, here’s what’s never going to happen. You know, I don’t know. I can’t have a boyfriend. I don’t want to. So it took a long, long time.”

Guthrie and Feldman celebrated 11 years of marriage in March. During the celebratory month, they were spotted attending “The Tell Book Tour With Amy Griffin” event in New York City, where they coordinated in dark date-night looks.

Just over 25 years after the veteran journalist underwent a televised colonoscopy on the “Today” show in honor of her late husband, Couric is once again baring herself in a new Sydney Sweeney-inspired ad from the Colon Cancer Alliance and Ryan Reynolds’ production company Maximum Effort.

Couric’s husband, lawyer and NBC News legal analyst Jay Monahan, died in 1998 after a colon cancer diagnosis in early 1997. The couple was married for nine years. She is now “happily remarried” to financier John Molner, her business partner and husband of 11 years. But as the former “CBS Evening News” anchor says, grief stays with you at some level.

“I think someone described grief as like having a stone in your pocket. It’s there, but after a while, you don’t notice it as much,” she says. “My girls were 6 and 2 when their dad died. And I think about him, and I certainly think about him when I see my grandson, who is named Jay, which I think is really a beautiful legacy.”
