Now that Savannah Guthrie is 50, she’s gracing the April cover of Good Housekeeping and speaking honestly about her pregnancy journey in her forties. “I stopped even letting myself hope or believe I could [get pregnant], because the years were getting on,” she said. “It wasn’t that I thought it was impossible; I just thought it wasn’t likely. I didn’t want to get my hopes up. I just tried to tell myself that it would be OK if it didn’t happen.” Guthrie added, “I’m not entitled to have a baby too. Looking back, that mindset was probably a self-defense mechanism.”
Guthrie also admitted she’d had a miscarriage sometime after daughter Vale was born, and she and husband Michael Feldman did in vitro fertilization (IVF) to conceive her rainbow baby. “With Charley, I did do IVF,” Guthrie told Health in 2020. “So I would say Vale was a miracle, and Charley was a medical miracle.”
Guthrie also credits her mom for helping her “[get] through the personal trials of my 30s,” as she told GH. “It was great to have her, because she was just always so certain. She’d say, ‘Well, of course you’re going to have your family, Savannah!’ It felt good.” The co-host is also glad to have had her kids at an older age. “I’m glad my kids don’t have the stressed, anxious, and insecure 30-year-old version of me. The peace and calmness that comes with age is a great thing for kids to see in action.”
