'Today' host Savannah Guthrie recalls 'horrible' split from Mark Orchard

Savannah Guthrie has finally broken the silence on her "horrible" split from her ex-husband Mark Orchard.

During an appearance on the latest episode of Hoda Kotb’s new YouTube series, Joy Rides, the 54-year-old American broadcaster said she felt “like a failure” after her divorce from former BBC journalist.

“I was in my 30s. I felt old, but I now see that I was pretty young, and I was sad about it,” recalled Savannah.

“And I was also starting a new job at a place called NBC and trying really hard to make my way and make my little dream come true while other dreams were falling apart,” she added. “And it made me have to really dig deep, and I felt like a failure."

Savannah further told her former Today show co-host that the split helped her to form a closer connection with her faith.

"I realized I didn’t have to be perfect to be loved by God,” she said. “I didn’t even have to be close because I was definitely a failure.”

“And I really felt loved and carried by God, and that was such an important, integral moment of life,” shared Savannah.

For those unversed, Savannah and Mark were married from 2005 to 2009.
