Savannah Guthrie is a doting wife and mom to her two young children and loves nothing more than spending time with her family. 

The Today star had quite the journey getting to the place she is at now, where she couldn't be happier.

However, Savannah previously revealed that she actually broke up with her husband, Michael Feldman, just before they got engaged!

While Savannah has kept the reason behind the temporary split out of the spotlight, she is more than happy with the decision not to go ahead with it. 

"That's a quick comeback," Al teased, to which she replied: "It really was." Savannah and Michael went on to get married a year later in 2014, and it was on that very day that they discovered that they were expected their first child, daughter Vale, now eight.

"I think there's a luxury to feel calm enough and not to feel the same pressures as in your 20s and 30s, when you are really trying to make your career happen. "Now, I can really take my time and enjoy our kids. ... We feel so lucky to have each other."

She has been enjoying lots of trips during her time off from work too, including a recent visit to London, where she enjoyed going to the annual British Summer Time concert held at Hyde Park. The star was lucky enough to attend the British Summer Time concert in Hyde Park, where she watched Bruce Springsteen on stage, while accompanied by none other than Roger Federer and Jon Bon Jovi. 

The news anchor shared the photo - that was a re-post from Roger - on Instagram, and was soon met with a mass of responses. Her co-anchor Hoda Kotb was the first to reply, writing: "Whaaaat??!!"
