AsSavannah Guthrieturned 50, she acknowledged the loved ones she cherishes most.
OnInstagramMonday, theTodayco-anchor reflected on her “perfect” birthday this year. In the post, she also included a photo of herself with a candlelit birthday cake, adding miscellaneous pics from her big day as well as throwbacks.
“God stunned me with a perfect pink sunrise that can’t be captured on film but my sweet neighbor told me to wake up to see. ‘Look out the window! What a sky to welcome you to this occasion!’ she said,” the broadcast journalist wrote. “Beautiful friends sent flowers and old photos and dear messages — thank you thank you thank you.”
“I luxuriated in a hot bath and an awesome face mask that turned out to be a hair masque omg why do they make the print so small? #thisis50,” Guthrie continued. “I listened to my favorite songs especially the ones that kept me company for decades. Thank you @pattygmusic. And did [my] first actual workout in 4 months — thanks @cdornerfitness for your brillz step aerobics sorry I could only complete 20 mins #againthisis50.”

Guthrie’s father died after suffering a heart attack when she was 16 years old. She previously honored him in an essay she penned in 2017, saying that Charles was “always strong, sometimes terrifying, loyal to the end, and disarmingly gentle and tender when it counted.”
“People adored him and gravitated towards him. But for all these wonderful and magnetic traits, the one I remain most grateful for is his integrity,” the mom of two wrote onToday.com. “He had an unbending notion of right and wrong. His moral clarity was demanding and sometimes intimidating, but he tempered it, at the moment you most needed and least expected it, with kindness and mercy.”
