Savannah Guthrie is reportedly preparing to return to the Today show amid what sources describe as an intensely emotional period for her family.
According to entertainment insider Rob Shuter, Guthrie is determined not to step away from her role despite the ongoing crisis involving her mother, Nancy. Sources close to the anchor say she is “devastated but resolute,” choosing to move forward with strength rather than retreat.
“Savannah will return to Today,” Shuter quoted insiders as saying. Those familiar with the situation describe her comeback as deeply personal, rooted in the belief that continuing her work honors the sacrifices her mother made throughout her career. A longtime friend reportedly shared that Nancy had always supported Guthrie’s professional journey.
While those close to Guthrie acknowledge the emotional toll, they also point to her resilience. After decades of building her career in broadcast journalism, she is said to be focused on balancing her family responsibilities with her commitment to viewers.
“It’s going to be emotional,” one source reportedly said, adding that Guthrie intends to approach her return with purpose and professionalism. Representatives for Guthrie have not publicly commented on the situation.
