Breaking news: There is a new featured host on CBS Mornings, and both he and his wife are final newscast goals.
Let’s take a brief detour and begin with the new featured host. Vladimir Duthiers is a TV journalist who has been a CBS correspondent since 2014.
Since 2015, Marian Wang, Vladimir’s wife, has worked as a producer on the Last Week Tonight With John Oliver program. She was a reporter before that, just like her husband.
So how did Vladimir and his wife, Marian, meet? When did they get married? Do they have any kids? Here’s what we know.
How Did Vladimir Duthiers And Marian Wang Meet?
According to a People report, Vlad met his future wife Marian in 2011, when Marian was a reporter for ProPublica and Vlad was a producer for Anderson Cooper 360.
Vlad withheld his major life update from his CBS Mornings coworkers when he married Marian in 2020, despite his significant expertise in reporting major news events (like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s wedding).
Until Vlad posted about it on Instagram, they were unaware that it had occurred.
When Vlad wrote about marrying his wife on his Instagram, he added the adorable hashtag #ImMarianHer. They tied the knot on Fire Island in New York on Sept. 1, 2020.
Do Vlad And Marian Wang Have Any Kids?
According to People, Vlad and Marian welcomed a beautiful baby girl in January 2023. They named their daughter Celine Mari WeiZhen Wang-Duthiers.
Celine is Vlad and Marian’s only child. Vlad told his fellow CBS Mornings co-hosts how excited he was to be a girl dad, adding, “We’re blessed. It’s challenging for people to have children, and we don’t take it lightly. It’s not easy, but we’re very blessed.”
Vlad wrote more about the thought he and Marian put into Celine’s full name on his Instagram page.
What Does It Mean For Vladimir To Be A ‘CBS Mornings’ Featured Host?
What does Vlad’s job promotion entail exactly? According to Variety, Vlad will have the opportunity to talk about more business, culture, and art stories.
Per an official statement from Neeraj Khemlani, co-president of CBS’s news and stations, “There will be more Vlad on “Talk of the Table” in addition to his signature ‘What to Watch’ segments. … This recognizes and expands his contributions to the show, which is up 3 percent year-to-year with women 25-54 and is the only morning news program posting growth in any demographic.”
Many CBS executives fully trust and believe in Vlad, including Anthony Galloway, senior vice president of streaming for CBS News, who said in a statement, “From his early days anchoring what was once CBSN, to today where he co-hosts and contributes to several hours of programming across broadcast and streaming, Vlad wakes up every day with a sense of curiosity and unfettered energy that brings important stories to life across platforms.”
