Today started the week without one of its main hosts.

Third hour of Today host Sheinelle Jones filled in for Savannah Guthrie in the first two hours of the Monday, April 22 episode of the NBC morning show. Guthrie’s co-host Hoda Kotb revealed that the TV personality was “taking a break today” but did not elaborate on the reason for her absence.

Guthrie, 52, has yet to address her break on social media. Monday episode of Today also marked the return of Craig Melvinwho had been absent the whole week before.

Guthrie previously gave fans a glimpse into her weekend via Instagram, sharing a sweet photo of her husband. Michael Feldmanand her son Charley, 7, had fun at a Philadelphia 76ers-New York Knicks NBA game. (The couple, who married in 2014, also share daughter Vale, 9.)

“Best life lived – thank you @nba!! go @sixers!” she captioned the Sunday, April 21, post. Guthrie shared more photos from the family trip via her Instagram Story, including the couple’s reactions before and after 76ers player Joel Embiid’s injury.

“He eats his feelings,” Guthrie captioned a funny photo of Charley with a shocked expression on his face while eating a bag of M&Ms.

Guthrie ended last week’s series Today Episodes by celebrating the release of Taylor Swiftis the 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department. She and her co-hosts surprised fans at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York with Target’s exclusive clear vinyl version of the record.

“I never let mine go,” Guthrie joked during the Friday, April 19, episode. “I’ll sleep with this tonight.”

Guthrie also commemorated the album’s release by wearing a TTPD-inspired outfit. “In my ‘dressing like Taylor’s new album’ era,” she captioned a Friday Instagram Story in which she poses with the album. In keeping with the record’s black and white color scheme, she wore a gray dress with a white short-sleeved shirt underneath.

“Just two tortured poets hanging out,” Guthrie captioned a subsequent Instagram Story image of herself and Carson Daly show your TTPD Vinyls.

Friday not only celebrated new music, but also Jones’ 46th birthday. “You make 46 look really good. We love you. Happy birthday,” Guthrie lovingly told the birthday boy last week.

Guthrie had previously taken a week off Today in March to enjoy spring break with her family. That same month, she and Feldman, 55, celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary.

“That was us – ten years ago today!” she captioned an Instagram slideshow of photos from her wedding and her children on March 15. “And this is who we are now. I love you now and forever @feldmike
