Savannah Guthrie reunites with Mariska Hargitay

The TV personality was absent from ‘Today’ on Tuesday and Wednesday; however, she has returned for Thursday’s broadcast.

Before returning to the studio, she shared a bunch of snaps from her exciting getaway in LA, updating her followers and co-hosts what she’s been up to on her days off.

While posting adorable photos of herself with Vale, she also ran into some old pals and shared the surprise on her Instagram.

The 51-year-old posted a picture with ‘Law & Order’ star Mariska Hargitay, who played Detective Olivia Benson on the show. Guthrie captioned the post, “Miss olivia benson is a swiftie and has the bracelets to prove it!! loved experiencing the magic with @therealmariskahargitay.”

The duo captured the moment with two delightful selfies, each encapsulating a unique facet of their bond. In the first snapshot, they sprawled on the floor, proudly displaying their friendship bracelets. The second photo showcased them in what appeared to be a VIP tent or backstage area, radiating an air of camaraderie and adventure.

Hargitay also left a sweet comment on Guthrie’s post, “Loved every second with you!"

Guthrie sported a stylish shirt that boldly bore the inscription "Swift 89”, a clear homage to the artist they were there to celebrate, Taylor Swift. Meanwhile, Mariska opted for a distinctive 1989-themed shirt adorned with charming seagull motifs.
