Savannah Guthrie revealed that she ‘approves’ of a controversial parenting tactic during a Wednesday appearance on TODAY With Jenna and Friends – and it might come as a surprise to viewers.

During the appearance, Savannah, 53, and host Jenna Bush Hager discussed a July article from The Wall Street Journal which was about parents looking through their kids’ iPhones and iPads.

Jenna explained that in the article, some parents believed it was a ‘breach of privacy,’ while others thought it was best for the kids’ safety.

And it looks like Savannah is on team snooping.

‘I’m pro-snoop,’ she admitted.

‘I don’t like the word “snooping,” I think it has a negative connotation,’ she continued, as she explained that she’d rather use the word ‘looking’ instead.

Savannah said that her kids are young, so she’s not sure what the electronic situation will be like when they’re older, but right now, she seems to run a pretty tight ship.

She explained that when her daughter, Vale, 11, got her own iCloud account, she even drafted a contract for her to sign.

Jenna then admitted that Savannah had sent her the contract so that she could use it as well.

‘It was basically like, “I know that mommy and daddy love me more than anything in the world. I know that mommy and daddy can read my texts. I know I will not put in a text anything I wouldn’t want grandma and grandpa to see, that I wouldn’t want to see on the front page of The New York Times, blah, blah, blah,”‘ Savannah said of the contract.

The journalist explained that her daughter understands that her mom is able to look at her text messages – but she admitted it’s not something she does very often.

‘I trust her,’ Savannah added.

Jenna explained that her daughter, Mila, 12, doesn’t have a phone, but instead, gives out her mom’s phone number to her pals.

‘What is happening? I’m getting Gigi’s FaceTimes,’ Jenna joked.

In the past, Savannah has been quite open about motherhood, explaining in a 2019 interview that becoming a mother later in life enabled her to feel like she could really ‘take her time’ with her children.

The 53-year-old journalist and her husband Michael Feldman, 56, had their daughter, Vale in 2014 and their second child, Charley, who is now nine years old, in 2016 when Savannah was in her mid-40s.

‘I always wanted to be a mom, and it took us so long to get married – we dated for so long – that we thought maybe it was too late and we’d lost our chance,’ she told People at the time.

‘When we found out we were pregnant, I don’t think there were two happier people on this planet,’ she added.

Savannah added that she didn’t mind becoming a mother at an older age than others, as she said the pressure isn’t as intense for her now as it would have been earlier.

The mother-of-two explained that during a person’s 20s and 30s, they are typically trying to kick-start their career.

She shared: ‘I definitely have a good head on my shoulders, I am able to prioritize, and I think there’s a luxury to feel calm enough and not to feel the same pressures as in your 20s and 30s, when you are really trying to make your career happen.

‘Now, I can really take my time and enjoy our kids,’ she added. ‘We feel so lucky to have each other.’
