She’s a former NBC News reporter who rose to prominence when, in 2012, she was named co-anchor of The Today Show—a major milestone in her career. Before all the fame, she moved from Australia to Tucson, Arizona at just two years old, beginning a journey that would eventually lead her into the national spotlight. Her personal life has seen its share of changes and joys. She married journalist Mark Orchard back in 2005, but after a few years, the couple decided to go their separate ways, finalizing their divorce in 2009. Then came a new chapter: she tied the knot with Mike Feldman in 2014. That same year, on August 14, she and Mike welcomed their first child, a beautiful daughter they named Vale—definitely a proud moment for her. Not long after, on December 8, 2016, she gave birth to their second child, a son named Charley, adding even more joy to her growing family. Through it all, she’s remained a familiar and respected name on morning television, balancing her professional achievements with her role as a mom.
She gained widespread recognition during her time as a White House correspondent, a role she held from 2008 to 2011. It was during those years that she really made a name for herself, consistently delivering high-quality reporting. Her work stood out, and many began to take notice of her dedication and talent. She became known not just for her presence in the press room, but for the depth and clarity she brought to complex political stories. In fact, it was this period that solidified her reputation in the field. She proved time and again why she was one of the most respected voices covering the administration.
