Savannah Guthrie vows not to ‘fall apart’ for kids’ sake amid mom Nancy’s disappearance
Savannah Guthrie promised not to “fall apart” for the sake of her two children during her “Today” show interview, which aired Friday, discussing the disappearance of mom Nancy Guthrie.
“I will do it for my kids,” the journalist told Hoda Kotb during the sitdown, referencing daughter Vale, 11, and son Charles, 9.
Savannah, who shares the little ones with husband Michael Feldman, added, “I will not let whoever did this take my children’s mom away.”
She went on to say Nancy modeled the same strength when Savannah’s dad, Charles, died when the NBC personality was a teenager.
“She taught me,” Savannah explained. “I saw her grief, I saw her world shatter — but I saw her get up, saw her love, saw her faith.
“She taught all of us,” the former attorney continued, referencing brother Camron Guthrie and sister Annie Guthrie. “I may not do it as well as her, but will do it.”
Savannah, 54, returned to the spotlight after her 84-year-old mom was kidnapped from her Arizona home on Jan. 31.
The TV personality sobbed while sharing how she was in “agony” over Nancy’s disappearance during an interview with her friend Hoda Kotb.
During the intimate interview, Savannah told the former “Today” show host, “Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony. It is unbearable.”
“And to think of what she went through, I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night, and in the darkness, I imagine her terror, and it is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought and I will not hide my face, but she needs to come home now,” Savannah continued.
The journalist revealed that she learned Nancy was missing when she received a call from her sister, Annie Guthrie.
“I said, ‘Is everything OK?’ And she said, ‘No.’ She said, ‘Mom’s missing,’” Savannah explained. “And I said, ‘What? What are you talking about?’ She said, ‘She’s gone.’”
The media personality explained that she and Annie thought their mom may have had “some kind of medical episode in the night,” describing how the “back doors were propped open.”
However, the matriarch’s cell phone and purse were located in the home.
During the interview, Savannah also called out the “cruel” allegations that her family was involved in Nancy’s disappearance.
Savannah shared that she would “never understand” the speculation, adding that it “piles pain upon pain” and fiercly defended her brother, Camron Gurthrie, Anne and her sister’s husband, Tommaso Cioni.
Nancy was reported missing after she didn’t attend church service on Feb. 1.
Surveillance footage of a masked and armed person outside of Nancy’s front door the night she was abducted was later released by the FBI.
Savannah and her siblings have accepted the possibility that their mom might be dead, but have offered $1 million for her return.
