Life in Quarantine: Jenna Bush Hager Knows What It's Like
When Jenna Bush Hager, a cohost on the Today show, saw Savannah Guthrie's recent Instagram post about giving her son a haircut, she couldn’t help but chime in. Savannah shared photos of her 3-year-old son, Charles, getting a snip from his dad, Michael Feldman, and Jenna was quick to jump in with a comment. "Cutest babe. We did the same thing yesterday!" she wrote, adding a blue heart emoji for good measure. Jenna’s comment resonated with so many parents who are trying to manage their kids' hair while stuck at home during the coronavirus outbreak.
Savannah’s post, shared on May 2, captured the essence of quarantine life. In the photos, Mike, looking every bit the amateur stylist, was carefully trimming Charles’ hair. It was clear that he was taking his time, moving slowly to ensure he didn’t make any mistakes. The little boy seemed patient, trusting his dad to do the job right, even though the stakes were high—after all, no one wants a bad haircut, especially not when salons are closed!

After Mike finished the cut, Charles couldn’t wait to see the results. He grabbed a mirror and grinned from ear to ear, clearly delighted with his new look. It was a heartwarming moment that reminded us all of the simple joys we can find during these challenging times. Comments poured in from friends and colleagues, including Today meteorologist Dylan Dreyer, who exclaimed, "Ahhh!! I love this!!" Al Roker also weighed in, calling it "one sweet cut." Savannah herself summed it up perfectly with her caption: "Charley entrusts his tumbleweed-esque quarantine hair to the hands of the master, @feldmike, and as a wise man once said: 'you’re gonna like the way you look.' Big sis gets right in for the next available appointment and gets a nice trim."
What’s Next for Mike’s Styling Skills?
With Charles looking sharp, we’re left wondering what’s next for Mike’s skills. Will he tackle his 5-year-old daughter Vale’s hair next? Amid the ongoing pandemic, the Feldman family, like so many others, has been spending a lot of time together. Board games have become a favorite pastime, with Savannah revealing on April 6 that their days are filled with "so much toddler time! So much Candy Land, so much Chutes and Ladders." She added, "We’re all getting a lot of time together, which is actually really great. But also I feel like our kids really need us right now—whatever age they are—whether they seem [to] like it or not."
Savannah’s words rang true for many parents trying to balance work and family life under one roof. In a touching moment, she shared a hilarious text her daughter Vale sent her from Mike’s phone while she was working in the basement. "I miss you so much and will you come up here now? Vale and I have something else for you. Can you tell your friends from your workplace that I miss you that I miss you and your work and I want you and I miss you and I love you bye," it read. Savannah captioned the post, "When your 5-year-old daughter learns to text … but not punctuate 😂." It was a perfect snapshot of life in quarantine—funny, heartfelt, and just a little chaotic.
