Savannah Guthrie shocked Today fans on Monday's episode during the Morning Boost segment when her co-stars mistook her comments for a surprise pregnancy announcement.
The mother of two introduced her co-anchor Jenna Bush Hager by saying, "Jenna's got a little something in the oven for the Boost," which caused alarm from her co-stars Carson Daly, Craig Melvin and Al Roker.

One of her co-stars could be heard joking, "I'm so excited for you!"

Expanding her brood

"I'm pretty sure I've come to terms that three, even though it's an imperfect number, is the perfect number for our house," she said.
Her co-anchor added that it was "very normal" to want more kids, adding: "I think they call it 'being broody.' You're kind of broody for a third or a fourth. I would have had a third in a heartbeat, but, you know, I was up against the clock."
Working mom

"My biggest dream was to be a mom," she shared on Today in 2022. "That's all I wanted. And my girls, I said to Henry, they have these other dreams." She added that her daughters discuss their future careers rather than "motherhood or marriage".
"I kind of love that maybe because their mom worked - and my mom worked too - that I get up every day and I'm not there to make them breakfast, but they see something different," she said.
Summer of reading

Jenna shared that she has decided to ban their iPads during the week, and told her children that for every minute of screen time, they had to read for the same amount of time first.
"So if they're going to watch 30 minutes of television, they have to read for 30," she explained on Today.

"And they get special treats and such for every book they finish. It can be something simple like, 'I'm going to take you and me to go get a lemonade,'…and just give them that one-on-one time."
The former First Daughter added that she wants to "implement learning that's fun" over the summer and spend more time with her kids.
