She never expected to find love again after her first marriage fell apart, but a 2008 birthday party changed everything. There, a quick-witted political consultant named Michael Feldman made the NBC anchor laugh at a time she wasn’t sure she’d ever feel light again. Years later, that laughter almost ended on a beach where Savannah, convinced their relationship had stalled, tried to gracefully say goodbye.
They agreed to savor one last perfect day. As the sun dropped and they stopped for a simple drink, Michael stunned her with the proposal she’d quietly stopped believing would come. They married in Tucson in 2014, Savannah already four months pregnant with their daughter, Vale. Their son Charley followed in 2016. Now raising their children in New York City, her late-in-life family feels like a second chance she once thought she’d never receive.
