Before Savannah Guthrie found love with Michael Feldman, she was married to Mark Orchard for a brief period of time.

The twosome reportedly met sometime in 2005 while covering the Michael Jackson sexual abuse trial — Guthrie on assignment as a CourtTV correspondent and Orchard for the BBC.

Guthrie and Orchard tied the knot in December 2005, but ended up filing for divorce in 2009.

While she hasn’t opened up about her marriage to Orchard throughout the years, Guthrie did make a short comment on the breakup in July 2025.

“I don’t want to talk about getting divorced,” she said on an episode of Monica Lewinsky’s “Reclaiming” podcast. “It was horrible and sad and it broke my heart. It took me years to recover. I’m not blaming anyone but I don’t really want to get into it.”

Following Guthrie’s 2009 divorce, she found love once again and married Feldman in 2014. The pair welcomed daughter Vale that same year and son Charley in 2016.

Over two decades since her divorce from Orchard, Guthrie published a series of personal essays called Mostly What God Does. The book included a disclaimer to readers to let them know that Guthrie wasn’t going to touch on some personal matters because they were “too personal and too embarrassing.”

“I’m down here and my feet are burning on the pavement — I just don’t want to tell you why the pavement was so hot or how many blisters I had on my feet,” the disclaimer read. “I don’t want to give you the gory details. But I do want to share with you and I understand that you may have these questions and maybe this won’t be enough for you.”

February 2025

In an interview with Us Weekly, Guthrie said she was 36 when she got divorced and “wasn’t married long,” which was a “huge disappointment” to her.

“I was pretty sure that I had lost my opportunity [to have kids] and more or less ruined my life,” she explained. “All I ever really wanted was to fall in love, be a mom and have a family. I don’t know if it’s acceptable to admit these days, but that’s kind of how I was. I wanted to do something important and meaningful, but I really wanted a family.”

On an episode of Lewinsky’s “Reclaiming” podcast, Guthrie said she didn’t “want to talk about getting divorced because “it was horrible” and “sad” and took her “years to recover.”

“I’m not blaming anyone, but I really don’t want to get into it,” she noted.

January 2026

Guthrie detailed feeling like a “failure” after her divorce from Orchard during an appearance on the the “Joy Rides” podcast.

“Probably the most difficult time was when I was getting separated and divorced from my first husband,” she said. “I was in my 30s. I felt old, but I now see that I was pretty young, and I was sad about it.”

Guthrie continued, “And I was also starting a new job at a place called NBC and trying really hard to make my way and make my little dream come true while other dreams were falling apart. And it made me have to really dig deep, and I felt like a failure.”
