Before Savannah Guthrie found love with Michael Feldman, she was married to Mark Orchard for a brief period of time. The twosome reportedly met sometime in 2005 while covering the Michael Jackson sexual abuse trial - Guthrie on assignment as a CourtTV correspondent and Orchard for the BBC. Guthrie and Orchard tied the knot in December 2005, but ended up filing for divorce in 2009. While she hasn't opened up about her marriage to Orchard throughout the years, Guthrie did make a short comment on the breakup in July 2025.
