Hey there, friends! Let’s talk about something heartwarming and downright adorable. Craig Melvin, the beloved host of "Today," rang in 2024 with a super sweet announcement. He and his wife, Lindsay Czarniak, decided to grow their family—but this time, they went the four-legged route. On January 2, the Melvin clan officially welcomed a new puppy into their home. And let me tell you, it’s bringing pure joy to everyone who hears about it.
Now, picture this: Craig, who's 44 years young, posted a heart-melting photo of his family gathered around their newest addition, Myles. In the caption, he said it all: “Meet the newest member of the Melvin family — Myles!” The picture features Lindsay, 46, and their two kids, Delano and Sybil, all smiling as they meet their new furry buddy for the first time. It’s the kind of moment that makes you pause and smile, isn’t it?
Lindsay, of course, couldn’t resist sharing the cuteness overload with her followers. She posted a video on Instagram showing her kids meeting Myles for the first time. You can see them holding him gently, playing with him, and snuggling up close. “Special day in our house today,” she wrote in the caption. “Time to go get a puppy.” If that doesn’t tug at your heartstrings, I don’t know what will!

A Day to Remember
After snapping some family photos with their new buddy, the Melvins tied a green bandana around Myles’ neck. Lindsay also captured the tender moment when Myles fell asleep in Delano’s lap during the car ride home. She even shared footage of Myles’ first few moments in their Connecticut home. It’s clear that this little pup has already become a cherished part of their lives.
But the cuteness doesn’t stop there. In another video, Craig is seen pulling Myles, an Irish Doodle, in a wagon down the street with Delano, who’s 9, and Sybil, who’s 7, walking alongside. The video quickly went viral, and the comments section was flooded with messages of love and support for the family. People couldn’t get enough of Myles’ charm and the joy he brought to the Melvin household.
Reactions from the "Today" Team
The excitement wasn’t just limited to the Melvin household. Craig’s "Today" co-stars, including the legendary Al Roker, were thrilled to hear about Myles. “By golly, I was so thrilled when I got a text from Mr. Melvin, sending me a picture. New member of the Melvin house!” Al, 69, exclaimed during a "Today" segment on January 2. The whole team couldn’t help but smile as Craig shared stories about how Myles has already become a beloved part of their family.
Craig explained that he and his family picked up Myles on December 30 in Virginia. “It’s been a magical few days. He’s the great unifier,” Craig said. He admitted that having a dog has brought a unique kind of harmony to their home. “You know, you have kids; a lot of times it’s [fighting]. But Myles has changed all that,” he added with a chuckle.
Who’s the Real Dog Lover in the Family?
And guess what? It’s not just the kids who are head over heels for Myles. Craig revealed that even Lindsay is equally smitten with the little pup. “I’ve had to tell them and my wife, I mean, Lindsay is just as bad as the kids,” he joked during the broadcast. “I’m like, ‘Guys, you got to give Myles some space. Let him walk around.’”
Sheinelle Jones, Craig’s co-star, playfully teased him, saying, “I feel like I’m going to see you with Myles a lot.” Al chimed in, “That’s going to be his alpha.” It’s clear that the entire "Today" family is as excited about Myles as the Melvins are.
