20 Minutes ago, SAVANNAH GUTHRIE and DAVID MUIR was confirmed as…
During the World News Tonight with David Muir broadcast, David Muir shared a touching story about Savannah Guthrie, revealing that the Today presenter plans to return to television following the disappearance of her mother.
During that night's broadcast, Muir told viewers that Guthrie had recently visited the set of Today for the first time since her mother was abducted on February 1. The visit to Studio 1A in Rockefeller Center came more than a month after the disappearance of her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie.
According to Muir, Guthrie became emotional during the visit as she reunited with coworkers and friends including Hoda Kotb, Jenna Bush Hager, and Al Roker. Muir told viewers that Guthrie "says she will return to the Today show, but it is to be determined when." It comes after a criminal attorney revealed the 6 huge red flags in Nancy's case that "don't add up."

He also shared a message Guthrie gave her colleagues during the visit.
"I wanted you to know that I'm still standing, and I still have hope, and I'm still me. And I don't know what version of me that will be, but it will be," she said.
Guthrie visited Studio 1A to personally thank the Today staff and crew for the support shown to her family since her mother's disappearance. During the visit, she expressed gratitude for the messages, prayers, and encouragement she has received.
The co-anchor thanked the team for all of the love and support and for "caring about my mom as much as I do."
"I'm holding onto my faith," she continued. "I still believe. And as my mom would say, 'Where else would I go?'" Guthrie also confirmed that she plans to return to the show at some point, though she did not provide a specific timeline.
"I have every intention of coming back," she told her colleagues. "I don't know how to come back, but I don't know how not to. You're my family. And I would like to try."

During the visit, Dylan Dreyer led a group prayer for Guthrie's mother and her family.
"We're here holding hands as a family, in a place where we don't understand why this is happening. It is not too bold to ask God for the biggest miracles every day," Dreyer said.
Guthrie then embraced colleagues throughout the studio. Later on the fourth hour of TODAY, Sheinelle Jones and Jenna Bush Hager shared that they had spent time with Guthrie earlier that day.
"Savannah has come back to her home here at 30 Rock and Studio 1A," Jenna said. "We got to see her this morning, and in her perfect way she talked to all of us, hugged every single person in this room, the crew.
"She said that she has the intention to return to the show. Even though it feels like the hardest thing to do, it's also her home and where she feels so loved. And she is beyond loved here. And so, we're happy that she is home. I don't know when she is actually returning to the show, but she was here and that felt so good to get to hug her."
Sheinelle also spoke about Guthrie's strength.
"I'm proud of Savannah, and I'm rooting for Savannah, and I know the strength that it would've taken to even just come in here and to be amongst all of us," she said.
"I think her coming here just being able to be with us and for us to be able to hug her, I think it's a step," she added. "I don't know what's ahead of us, but all I know is it's a step."

Guthrie last appeared on Today on January 30, two days before her mother, Nancy Guthrie, was reported missing to police by family members. After the disappearance, Guthrie traveled to Arizona to be with her siblings, Annie and Camron, and their families.
The show's team publicly supported Guthrie during the search. On February 18, co-hosts wore yellow ribbons and the Studio 1A set was decorated with bouquets of yellow roses as a symbol of hope. Members of the community in Catalina Foothills outside Tucson also placed yellow flowers near Nancy Guthrie's home.
"She said the yellow flowers and the pins, all of the prayers, she feels them, she depends on them," Jenna said on the show.
Law enforcement believe Nancy Guthrie was taken from her home overnight on January 30. Investigators have been searching for a masked and armed man seen on a doorbell camera outside the home the night she disappeared.
While in Arizona, Savannah Guthrie shared updates about the search on Instagram. On February 4, she posted a video with her siblings addressing reports of a ransom letter circulating in the media. Three days later, the siblings appeared in another video addressing anyone who may have their mother and saying they would pay for her return. She has continued to use social media as means to search for her mom.

Lisa Kennedy recently married Fred in Hawaii: Who is the Fox News star’s new husband?
Fox News personality Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery has entered a new chapter in her personal life after marrying Fred in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in Hawaii.
Kennedy shared photographs from the celebration at the Four Seasons Resort Lanai, giving followers a glimpse of the man she now calls her husband and the friends who joined them for the occasion.
“Married the love of my life at the Four Seasons Lanai in a Heidi Merrick dress drenched in sunshine and aloha,” Kennedy wrote. “I love you forever, Fred!!”
While Kennedy has been open about how much Fred means to her, she has kept many details about her new husband firmly outside the public spotlight.
Kennedy and Fred celebrate their marriage in Hawaii
The couple exchanged vows during an outdoor ceremony overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Kennedy wore a sparkling white Heidi Merrick gown with a fitted silhouette, completing her bridal look with a veil and colorful tropical bouquet. Fred wore a light-blue suit with a white shirt, light-colored tie and brown shoes. The newlyweds also wore traditional Hawaiian leis.
Photographs showed Kennedy and Fred walking hand in hand as guests applauded, with the bride raising her bouquet in celebration. Another captured them cutting their multi-tiered wedding cake against a backdrop of palm trees, ocean views and the evening sky.
The wedding announcement became a major moment among Kennedy’s followers, receiving more than 154,000 likes and nearly 2,000 comments.
Several familiar Fox News personalities were also part of the celebration. Emily Compagno, Abby Hornacek and Alexis McAdams were among the recognizable guests photographed in Hawaii.
Emily later wrote that they had the “best time celebrating Kennedy and Fred’s marriage,” adding, “The Fox family showed up for our favorite girl.”
Who is Kennedy’s husband, Fred?
Despite the attention surrounding their wedding, Fred remains largely a private figure.
Based on what Kennedy has publicly shared, his surname, profession and detailed background have not been revealed. Even when announcing her marriage, Kennedy continued referring to her husband simply as Fred.
What she has shared, however, offers some insight into how unexpectedly their relationship entered her life.

Kennedy discussed Fred publicly when announcing their engagement on The Five in December 2025. She revealed that he had proposed on December 10 and said the two had met recently and “unexpectedly.”
During the emotional on-air conversation, Kennedy described the impact their meeting had on her life.
“He is the most beautiful, wonderful human being,” she said. “And I had totally given up until those elevator doors opened and I met him out of the blue — he changed my life.”
Kennedy has not provided additional details about exactly where that first meeting occurred or the circumstances surrounding it.
Their relationship began before the public announcement
Although viewers did not learn about the engagement until December 2025, Kennedy revealed another detail suggesting Fred had quietly been part of her life for some time.
She told her The Five colleagues that she had secretly brought him to the Fox Christmas party the previous year.
“I snuck him in. Don’t tell security,” Kennedy joked during the conversation.
That revelation indicated the couple had already been seeing each other by at least December 2024, even though Kennedy had kept the relationship away from public attention.
Dana Perino was among those particularly moved by the engagement news.
Perino recalled learning about it while Kennedy was appearing on America’s Newsroom, telling her colleague that the announcement had made her cry.
“And Fred is such a wonderful guy,” Perino said before telling Kennedy, “I cried because I’m so happy for you.”
From a private romance to a Hawaiian wedding
Kennedy continued keeping Fred’s personal details private even as she became more open about their relationship.
That approach remained evident at their wedding. While she shared numerous photographs of their special day and publicly expressed her love for her new husband, she did not use the occasion to reveal his surname, career or other biographical information.
Instead, Kennedy kept the attention on their marriage and the happiness surrounding it.
The couple received congratulations from numerous familiar names, including Kat Timpf, Janice Dean, Sandra Smith, Griff Jenkins, Abby Hornacek and Meghan McCain.
For followers who had watched Kennedy announce her engagement months earlier, the Hawaiian ceremony provided the next chapter in a relationship that had largely developed outside the public eye.
What is publicly known about Fred remains limited, but Kennedy has made one thing unmistakably clear: she considers him the man who unexpectedly entered her life, changed it and ultimately became her husband.
From secretly attending a Fox Christmas party together to an emotional engagement announcement and finally exchanging vows beside the Pacific Ocean, Kennedy and Fred have now made their commitment official — while continuing to keep much of their story between themselves.
