Losses Sheinelle Jones' husband, Uche Ojeh, died from glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, in May 2025.
Savannah Guthrie announced the death on the Today show on behalf of Jones. Jones expressed concerns about returning to work, stating to Page Six that she worried she would not know how to smile or laugh, and questioned if the job would feel the same without her husband.
Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie, has been missing since February 2026.
Guthrie took a hiatus from the Today show following the disappearance and returned on April 6, 2026. In an interview with Hoda Kotb last month, Guthrie described the circumstances, stating that her mother was likely taken in the dead of night in her pajamas, with no shoes and without her medicine.
She extended apologies to her sister Annie Guthrie, brother Cameron Guthrie, kids, nephew, and brother-in-law Tommy.
