How Nancy Guthrie's Disappearance Has Changed 'Today,' According to Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones

The Today show has long prided itself on feeling like a family. And according to Sheinelle Jones and Jenna Bush Hager, that sense of closeness has only deepened as Savannah Guthrienavigates one of the most difficult things someone could experience.

In a new interview with Page Six shared on Sunday, June 7, Jones opened up about how the show’s hosts have rallied around Guthrie following the disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie.

“We’re going to rally around our sister,” Jones said. “She rallied around me. We know how to do that here.”

Bush Hager shared a similar message, saying, “[Savannah’s] heart is broken and we love her.”

The pair explained that supporting Savannah has remained their focus as she continues navigating life without her mother. “If our sister’s heart is broken, ours is too,” Bush Hager said.

The television personality also dismissed the idea that Savannah’s experience had caused her to become more fearful about her own family. “No, because we’re worried about one person only,” Bush Hager said.

“When Sheinelle was going through what she was going through, we weren’t thinking, ‘What if this happened to us?’ We were worried about our sister. [It was,] ‘Who has the kids? Can we send food? How can we help?'” she continued, referencing the heartbreaking loss of Jones’ husband Uche Ojeh, who passed away in May 2025 after a battle with glioblastoma.

And for Jones, the support system among the Today team is something special, and something she’ll always cherish.. “When I sit down, I don’t have to worry,” she said. “I think the good lord does what He does.”

Nancy mysteriously disappeared from her Arizona home on February 1, prompting Savannah to step away from portions of her Today responsibilities while focusing on her family. In the months since, friends, colleagues, and viewers have continued to rally around the longtime anchor as the search efforts continue. Savannah returned to Today back in April.

As of now, Nancy is still missing, and a $1 million reward is being offered for information leading to her discovery.
