Savannah Guthrie makes rare comments about ‘horrible’ divorce: ‘It broke my heart’
NY Post
Savannah Guthrie is looking back on the heartbreak of her first marriage.
The “Today” anchor, 53, appeared on the “Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky” podcast Tuesday and explained why she kept the “gory details” of her divorce from her first husband, Mark Orchard, out of her book that came out last year.
“It was horrible and sad and it broke my heart and it took me years to recover,” she said of the split.
“And I’m not blaming anyone but I don’t really want to get into it, you know,” the journalist added.
Guthrie was married to the BBC journalist from 2005 to 2009. They met while covering the Michael Jackson trial.
“It’s the one thing I didn’t want to talk about,” Guthrie explained of excluding her divorce from her book, adding that while she wanted readers to know she “experienced adversity,” she didn’t want to tell them “the depths of that.”
