Everything Savannah Guthrie has said about her 'miracle' past pregnancy with son
The star's journey to motherhood wasn't an easy one
Savannah Guthrie has made no secret of her passion for being a parent, but it didn't come easily for the star and her husband Michael Feldman.
The Today show host became a mom later in life and has been open about the challenges she faced getting there.
Savannah, 51, shares her son, Charles, six, and daughter, Vale, eight, with Michael. She has been incredibly open about their difficult road to becoming parents in the past and revealed that their youngest child was their "medical miracle" after Savannah went through several rounds of IVF to welcome him.

At the time of her comments, she was pregnant with Charles and continued tearfully. "I think that's why I feel such an acute level of gratitude about getting to have a baby. Because I know how late it is in the game, you know?
"I’m a person of faith. It feels like the greatest embrace from God that I can imagine, to get to have a baby. And to get to have a second is just beyond."

The star confessed that while she was incredibly happy with her career, a family was what she really wanted.
"You work in a job like ours and it's so public, people think, 'Oh my gosh, that must have been the thing that you focused on your whole life. That must have been your dream. That must have been the only thing you worked for,'" she added.
"In the end, all I ever wanted was just to have a family."
And we are so happy you have yours!
