However, on Monday's episode of Today, the NBC star received quite the surprise as she was discussing health and diet tips with guests Heidi Skolnik and Stephen Perrine, authors of The Whole Body Reset.

The pair were talking Savannah and her co-host Hoda Kotb through different food groups that are good to include in your diet as you get older.

"Stop, I didn't feel bad about turning 50 until now!" Savannah exclaimed.

Savannah marked her 50th year with her close family at home, as she celebrated her birthday just a few days after Christmas.

While it was a "perfect" birthday, the star admitted that it was bittersweet in a heartfelt post at the time, as her late father was constantly in her thoughts – having passed away at the age of 49, and never making it to her current age.

"So I treasure this gift of life and remember you always. And thank god for a half century of His kindness and grace and blessing," she concluded.
