Savannah Guthrie loves nothing more than spending time with her family away from work at the Today Show – and her journey to motherhood is extra special. 

The NBC star is a doting mom to children Vale, eight, and Charles, six, who she shares with husband Michael Feldman. 

What's more, she announced her first pregnancy in an extra special way - as it happened to be on her wedding day!

Talking about the special moment on Today after the ceremony – which took place in 2014 - Savannah shared: "It's funny, 'cause we set the wedding date, I bought my dress, and then I found out. So I've been doing a little praying that I would fit in it, and it all worked out." 

Savannah and Michael both wrote an open letter to Vale after she was born, which was published on Today's website.

"But I hope you also get her kind heart, keen wit, analytical mind, strong morals and the kind of joy for life and people that makes you someone that people really want to be around."

Their youngest, Charles, meanwhile, is often referred to as the couple's "medical miracle" after Savannah went through several rounds of IVF to welcome him.

"Because we are older," she explained to Health magazine. "It was important to me for her [Vale] to have a sibling, somebody to do life with. "My husband and I, we decided, 'OK, let’s give it a shot,' you know? But it ended up taking more than one attempt. It took a few," she said.
