While Savannah has kept the reason behind the temporary split out of the spotlight, she is more than happy with the decision not to go ahead with it. 

"That's a quick comeback," Al teased, to which she replied: "It really was." Savannah and Michael went on to get married a year later in 2014, and it was on that very day that they discovered that they were expected their first child, daughter Vale, now eight.

She has been enjoying lots of trips during her time off from work too, including a recent visit to London, where she enjoyed going to the annual British Summer Time concert held at Hyde Park. The star was lucky enough to attend the British Summer Time concert in Hyde Park, where she watched Bruce Springsteen on stage, while accompanied by none other than Roger Federer and Jon Bon Jovi. 

The news anchor shared the photo - that was a re-post from Roger - on Instagram, and was soon met with a mass of responses. Her co-anchor Hoda Kotb was the first to reply, writing: "Whaaaat??!!"
