This mother-son moment is sure to make your day.
Savannah Guthrie got the sweetest surprise June 13 when her 7-year-old son Charley crashed the Today show set.
The longtime morning news anchor shared an adorable gallery of Instagram photos showing Charley—whom she shares with husband Michael Feldman in addition to daughter Vale, 9—running on set and giving Guthrie a big hug as cohosts Hoda Kotb and Craig Melvin watched the tender moment with giant smiles on their faces. Guthrie captioned the post, "Made my day."
In a separate Instagram video, Charley sits in his mom's chair behind the news desk before joining Guthrie in the 30 Rockefeller Plaza while taping a segment surrounded by cheering fans.
"The best surprise!" the 52-year-old reacted in the caption. "School's out and Charley made a special guest appearance in Studio 1A. The sweetest morning!"
Charley is no stranger to making appearances on the Today set.
Last month, Guthrie's youngest FaceTimed his mom live on TV because he wanted to see the United States Navy Band Northeast's performance on the May 23 episode.
"Savannah's son is on FaceTime," Hoda announced to viewers, adding, "You can't blame him, the music is incredible."
Guthrie then showed Charley on her iPhone screen grinning from ear to ear. However, she noted of the candid on-air moment, "I was telling him, ‘Shhh we're on the air!'"
She later joked of the sweet moment on Instagram, "When you're a live TV news anchor but also a mom."

Sheinelle Jones
The cohost of the third hour of Today shares son Kayin as well as twins Uche and Clara with her late husband Uche Ojeh, who passed away in May 2025 after a courageous battle with brain cancer.
“With all three of my children, I try to show them that they're ALL a team, and they have to take care of each other," Sheinelle wrote in a 2015 essay for Today. “At the same time, I'm learning that they each like to know they're special on their own."
Craig Melvin
Three years after the anchor married fellow broadcaster Lindsay Czarniak in 2011, he earned his most cherished title yet: father.
And now, he seizes every opportunity to gush about their son Delano and daughter Sybil.
"When I wake up in the morning," Melvin said to his son during a May 2024 episode of Today, "part of the reason I work so hard is for you and your sister."

The Today with Jenna & Friends cohost and her husband Henry Hager are proud parents to kids Mila, Poppy and Hal.

"I said, ‘I think I want to be ‘Granddude’ because ‘grand,’ it bows to the fact that I’m older. But ‘dude’ says, ‘I still got a little bit. I still got a little,’ you know?"
