Search for Savannah Guthrie’s children, and you get two names, plus two ages that usually expired months ago. NBC’s TODAY co-anchor has one daughter and one son. Both have birthdays that move the math, and one of them lands in nine days.
The short answer: Savannah has two kids with her husband, Michael Feldman. Vale Guthrie Feldman was born on August 13, 2014. She turns 12 on August 13, 2026. Charles “Charley” Max Guthrie Feldman was born on December 8, 2016. He stays until December 9.
| Savannah Guthrie’s Children | Full name | Born | Age on August 4, 2026 | Next birthday |
| Daughter | Vale Guthrie Feldman | August 13, 2014 | 11 | Turns 12 on August 13, 2026 |
| Son | Charles “Charley” Max Guthrie Feldman | December 8, 2016 | 9 | Turns 10 on December 8, 2026 |
Key takeaways
- Two kids, both with Michael Feldman, a communications consultant she married in March 2014 near Tucson, Arizona.
- Vale arrived when her mother was 42. Charley arrived when she was 44, after a loss and two rounds of IVF.
- Ages printed on older pages are often a year behind. Check them against the birth dates above.
- Since February 2026, the family has been living through the disappearance of the children’s grandmother, Nancy Guthrie.
Meet Vale Guthrie Feldman, who turns 12 this month
Born on August 13, 2014, Vale arrived roughly five months after her parents’ wedding. Her mother was 42 at the time and had written openly about not knowing whether motherhood would happen at all. Of the two, Vale is the more watchful. Gymnastics and the Olympics are hers, which tracks in a household where one parent covers the games. She is also a committed Taylor Swift fan, and she went to the Eras Tour.
There is a reporter’s instinct in there too. She interviewed her own mother on TODAY about the children’s book Mostly What God Does, and she joined a panel on the book tour. Her baptism, in February 2024, was one of the few private moments the family chose to make public.
Not every broadcast household works this way. This site’s look at Pete Hegseth’s children and family life describes a home where even birthdays stay off the record. “Public figure” and “public family” are separate choices, and each one gets made deliberately.
Charley, the son his mother calls a medical miracle
Charles Max Guthrie Feldman, known to everyone as Charley, was born on December 8, 2016. He is the louder sibling by some distance. His mother has called him “this little firecracker” who “lights up my heart.” He is a Philadelphia Eagles fan and a Taylor Swift convert like his sister. Studio 1A is a regular haunt too, and he has been handed odd jobs there during her segments.
He met LeBron James. In 2024, he went to Paris for the Olympics, on a trip his mother sprung on both kids as a surprise.
How old are the Savannah Guthrie children in 2026?
Here is the arithmetic, done for today rather than lifted from an older post. Vale is 11, as of this writing on August 4, 2026. She turns 12 on August 13. Charley is 9, and he holds that age until December 8. Between mid-August and early December, their stated ages differ by three years. For the other eight months, the gap reads as two.
School years are easier to place than most write-ups suggest. In a back-to-school post published on September 5, 2024, their mother captioned a photo of both kids “second grade and fifth grade loading.” Roll that forward two academic years, and Vale lands in seventh grade this fall while Charley starts fourth. Nobody has confirmed the 2026 grades publicly, so treat that as arithmetic rather than an announcement.
Who is their father, Michael Feldman?
Michael Feldman is a communications and political consultant. He is a founding partner and managing director of the Glover Park Group in Washington, and he worked for Vice President Al Gore during the Clinton administration. The couple married in March 2014 at a resort near Tucson, her hometown, when she was already expecting Vale. He is not a broadcaster, and he does not appear on the family’s online presence.
Both kids do turn up on his wife’s side of the business. They have stood in Studio 1A beside her and the rest of the TODAY bench. That group includes a co-anchor this site has profiled before, in a piece on Craig Melvin’s earnings as a TODAY anchor. They also made their Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade debut with her. They handle childcare as a tag team, with no nanny.
How Vale and Charley arrived: two different stories
These two births usually get collapsed into one line about IVF. They were not the same.
- Vale was conceived naturally when her mother was 42. Savannah has described the timing as something she had stopped counting on.
- Charley came later, after a loss and two rounds of IVF. Savannah has called him “the last egg out” and a “medical miracle.”
By then she was 44.
What she has said about raising them
She does not sell parenting as a solved problem. “I think parenting is so hard,” she told TODAY. “It’s so perplexing. It’s the most challenging thing you could ever take on.” In practice, that has meant written house rules on screens rather than vague limits and a faith thread that runs through her books and her interviews. Motherhood, she has said, is the thing that made her life meaningful. That is a large claim from someone who anchors a national morning show.
That tone is familiar from other family profiles here. Take the write-up on CJ Stroud’s mom and her support of his career: the parent talks, and the details about the child stay light.
Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance and what the kids were told
Their grandmother, Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her home near Tucson on the night of January 31, 2026. Her family reported her missing the next day. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has said investigators believe she was taken, and she has not been found. That is the backdrop to almost everything the family has said publicly this year.
Their mother stepped away from co-hosting the Milan Cortina Olympic opening ceremony, and she was off the air for weeks. In a TODAY interview with Hoda Kotb on March 26, 2026, she described the messages her daughter was sending: “Mama, any leads? Did you hear anything? Any hope?” She also explained the line she and Michael were trying to walk with both kids. “We try to talk to them and try to give them a little more certainty than we have, to let them grieve.”
On August 1, 2026, six months to the day, she posted a public appeal. The family had lived every breath “in agony and despair,” she wrote, and she asked anyone holding back to speak up: “Someone knows something. Someone suspects something.”
What the family shares, and what it keeps back
A pattern shows up once you look for it. Birthdays, first days of school, holiday photos, the parade, and a book tour appearance: those get posted. School names, addresses, and daily routines do not. That is the honest ceiling for writing about kids who did not choose the attention. Anything past it is guesswork.
What to watch next
If you came here for a number, take the birth dates rather than the ages. They are the part that stays true. Bookmark this page and check back in December, when Charley hits double figures. For the search itself, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department is the place to follow updates on Nancy Guthrie.
