The television personality later gave birth to her second child, sonCharles “Charley” Max, in 2016.
“I knew it was the winning lottery ticket to have one child. So I never dreamed that I would have two. But with Charley, I did do IVF. So I would say Vale was a miracle, and Charley was a medical miracle,“Guthrie toldHealthback in 2019.
At the time, Guthrie said that she and Feldman, 53, “talked about it a lot” before deciding to go through with IVF.
“I didn’t want to start a process where we spent all of our present searching after some future … when our present was so lovely and beautiful and enough,” she said. “But I also knew I would love for Vale to have a sibling — especially because we are older, it was important to me for her to have a sibling, somebody to do life with.”
