More about Norah O'Donnell's marriage life

The couple, who met at Georgetown University in 1991, tied the knot in 2001. They have three children: 17-year-old twins Henry and Grace, and their 16-year-old daughter, Riley.

In a 2020 interview with People Magazine, Norah O'Donnell shared the challenges of managing work and family life while working from home during the pandemic. She recalled a moment when she was on a call with someone from the White House, only for her daughter to interrupt, yelling that the printer wasn’t working. She also mentioned how multitasking became routine, saying:

“There are plenty of times when I’m on a conference call while making breakfast for the kids. Thankfully, Zoom’s ‘stop video’ feature comes in handy.”

Georgetown University features the love story of Norah O'Donnell and Geoff Tracy on its website's alumni section. The feature chronicles Norah O'Donnell's love story with Geoff Tracy, from their initial meeting in freshman college years at Georgetown to setting foot in Washington, D.C.

Reminiscing about their marriage, both Norah and Geoff point out humor, patience, and the acceptance of their flaws among others as the keys. They reminisce about their times on the hilltop, with Geoff humorously insisting that his job in the campus store, Vital Vittles, threw some light on the pair. However, Norah lovingly refocuses the spotlight, saying their experience at Georgetown defined their journey together.
