May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Savannah Guthrie met Mark Orchard while they were both covering the Michael Jackson trial in 2005, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Rumors swirled that the pair got together while Orchard was still married to Anne Korblut, a New York Times reporter, according to The National Enquirer. "The poor guy was totally smitten by Savannah and gave up his family for her. She turned his life upside down," a BBC source claimed at the time.

Their whirlwind romance culminated in a December wedding that same year, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Their relationship, however passionate it appeared, came to an end in 2009. Guthrie cited in the court documents that the pair had been living apart in Washington, D.C. since August 2008, according to Radar Online.

Guthrie met her now-husband, Michael Feldman, at his 40th birthday party in 2008 when she attended with a mutual friend of theirs. The pair started dating the following spring after Guthrie's divorce was finalized, according to People. The couple dated for four years and got engaged in 2013, which she revealed live on the Today Show. "He actually got on one knee and I still thought we were just talking. Really, honestly," Guthrie joked. "And then, he brought out the box and then I didn't open it for a long time cause I was just overcome."
