Father’s Day Tribute Highlights Husband as Family Hero
On June 21, 2026, “Today” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie posted an Instagram photo of husband Michael Feldman cuddling their children, Vale (11) and Charley (9). The caption read “our hero ?,” celebrating Feldman as the family’s father on the holiday.
