Carson Daly is back in the headlines this week, and the story pulling him there is the tattoo cover-up he described on air. On the 12 November 2026 episode of TODAY With Jenna & Sheinelle, the 53-year-old host explained how the name of his then-girlfriend, actress Jennifer Love Hewitt, once inked on his ankle, ended up hidden beneath a crab claw coming out of a pocketknife. The confession landed in the same month Daly took on a new permanent job at NBC, and it has put fresh attention on the woman who has shared his life for two decades: his wife, Siri Pinter.
Siri Pinter, now known as Siri Daly, is a food blogger, cookbook author and TODAY food contributor. She met Daly in 2005 while working as a writer’s assistant on his late-night show, married him on 23 December 2015, and has since built a public career of her own around family cooking, while raising the couple’s four children largely away from the spotlight.

Growing Up Between Two Soap-Opera Stars
Siri Pinter was born into show business. Her father is actor Mark Pinter, a daytime television regular whose credits include Another World, Guiding Light, As the World Turns and All My Children, along with a film role in Vanilla Sky. Her mother is Gretchen DeBoer. Her parents divorced when Siri was about 13, and her father later married actress Colleen Zenk.
Rather than following her parents in front of the camera, Siri went behind it. She began her television career in 2003 as a producer’s assistant on Frasier, and later worked as a writer’s assistant and producer on other productions. The publisher of her cookbook describes her simply as a television writer and producer before she became a stay-at-home mother — a background that shaped the practical, no-fuss style of her food writing.
How a Writer’s Assistant Job Turned Into a Marriage
Siri met Carson Daly in 2005, when she was working as a writer’s assistant on Last Call with Carson Daly, the NBC late-night show he hosted from 2002 to 2019. The two kept their relationship private at first. Daly later told Elle that they realised they were in love and that it was not just an office romance, and their dating history shows a slow, steady courtship rather than a whirlwind celebrity pairing.
The couple became engaged in 2013 and married on 23 December 2015, in a ceremony that surprised even some close friends. Their eldest son, Jackson, walked Siri down the aisle. By the time they married, they already had three children together, and they celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary at the end of 2025.
Siriously Delicious: From a Family Blog to a Bestseller
Siri started her food blog, Siriously Delicious, as a place to keep track of the recipes that worked for her increasingly busy life as a mother. The blog grew into regular cooking segments on the Today show, where she became a TODAY food contributor and the programme’s resident comfort-food expert, often cooking on air with her husband.
Her cookbook, Siriously Delicious: 100 Nutritious (and Not So Nutritious) Simple Recipes for the Real Home Cook, was published by Oxmoor House on 17 April 2018 and became a Washington Post bestseller. The book is organised around a busy mother’s day — breakfast, lunch, happy hour, dinner with sides, and dessert — and its recipes are built to be approachable for a novice cook, with no trips to speciality food stores required. Siri has described herself as “not a serious cook, but serious about her food”, a line that captures the tone of the whole project.
She also co-founded Real Moms Wear Grey, an Instagram community focused on motherhood and parenting, with fellow mothers. The project sits naturally alongside her food writing: both are aimed at real home cooks and real parents, not at professional chefs.
Four Children and Life With Television’s Busiest Host
Siri and Carson Daly have four children: son Jackson James, born in 2009, and daughters Etta Jones, born in 2012, London Rose, born in 2014, and Goldie Patricia, born in March 2020. The family lives in the New York area, and the children have appeared with their parents at public events, including the Project Healthy Minds gala in New York on 8 October 2026.
Daly’s schedule leaves little spare time. He joined the Today show in 2013, has hosted The Voice since it began in 2011, and in August 2025 he told People that balancing his television work with family life, and finding time for date nights with Siri, was a constant challenge. The Dalys are one of several long-running celebrity marriages covered here — Erin Darke has likewise built an independent acting career alongside Daniel Radcliffe, while Lorraine Ashbourne has spent decades on stage beside Andy Serkis.
Why the Tattoo Story Put Carson Daly Back in the Headlines
The reason Carson Daly is trending this week is a story from his past. On the 12 November episode of TODAY With Jenna & Sheinelle, while discussing Pete Davidson’s tattoo removal, Daly admitted he once had an ex-girlfriend’s name tattooed on his ankle after a night of drinking in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. The ex-girlfriend was Jennifer Love Hewitt, whom he dated for about a year in the late 1990s. When a later girlfriend insisted the name had to go, Daly spent six hours in a tattoo chair in Hell’s Kitchen — and came out with a crab claw coming out of a pocketknife as the cover-up. He and Hewitt remain friendly.
The tattoo story arrived in a busy month for Daly. NBC announced on 5 November 2026 that he would become the permanent co-anchor of the Saturday edition of Today, joining Laura Jarrett, Joe Fryer and Angie Lassman. He made his debut in the role on Saturday 7 November, replacing Peter Alexander, who left the show earlier this year. He is also in his final season as host of The Voice — Season 30 is airing this autumn, and Keke Palmer is set to take over the hosting role for Season 31 and the celebrity edition coming in 2027, while Daly stays on as an executive producer.
What Siri Daly Is Worth — and Why the Figures Disagree
Siri Daly’s net worth is not publicly verified. Biography aggregator sites publish wildly different estimates, ranging from under $100,000 to around $950,000, and none of them cites a primary source. No reliable outlet has reported her earnings, so no figure is stated here as fact.
What is known is where her income comes from: the Siriously Delicious cookbook and blog, her paid segments as a TODAY food contributor, and her earlier television production work. Those are real, documented revenue streams, even if their size is not public. The same caution applies to her husband’s finances, which are not the subject of this article and are not estimated here.
