Charley was glowing after his trip to camp
Savannah shares Vale and Charley with her husband Michael Feldman, whom she married in 2014.
The 53-year-old is fiercely protective of her kids, particularly as she struggled to conceive for years.
“I’ll never get over it,” she told People about being a mom. “I got to have babies long past the time that anyone would really be hopeful, [and] I had long given up hope.”

She welcomed her kids with her husband Michael
She welcomed Vale at 42 years old, and Charley two years later, after several rounds of IVF.
Savannah shared that she never expected to have more than one child until she decided that Vale needed a sibling.
“I knew it was the winning lottery ticket to have one child — I was 42 when I had [Vale]. So I never dreamed that I would have two,” she told Health in 2019. “But with Charley, I did do IVF. So I would say Vale was a miracle, and Charley was a medical miracle.”

Jenna shared her experiences with the historic camp
She then explained the pain of dropping her children Mila, 12, Poppy, nine, and Hal, six, off at camp in Texas.
“Putting them on the bus, saying goodbye to them… and I know so many parents whose kids are at camp or going to camp feel that way,” she said.
