Craig Melvin may wake up America every morning on Today, but at home, he’s just “Dad” to his two wonderful children, Delano and Sybil. 🏡💕
Craig and his wife, fellow broadcaster Lindsay Czarniak, first became parents in 2014 when they welcomed their son, Delano, and later, their daughter Sybil in 2016. The Melvins’ family life has been filled with unforgettable moments, from sports outings to father-daughter dance recitals.
In May 2024, Craig Melvin even poured his heart into a children’s book titled I’m Proud of You—a “love letter” to his kids that reflects his deep affection for them. 📚❤️
But it’s not just about words. The Melvin family’s bond is on full display, especially when Delano and Sybil join their dad at work. From surprising Craig on his first day as Hoda Kotb’s replacement on Today to sharing laughs during “Take Your Kids to Work Day” in 2026, these kids are his pride and joy. 😍🎥:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(465x442:467x444)/craig-melvin-lindsay-czarniak-delano-sybil-puppy-111424-ce995b4a111e4a81ade22f6357abfa5a.jpg)
Delano Joseph Melvin, 12
Delano, Craig’s eldest son, was born on March 10, 2014, and has already shown signs of following in his father’s footsteps. Not only has he interviewed NBA stars like Chris Paul and appeared on NBC Nightly News: Kids Edition, but he’s also a passionate sports fan—especially of basketball and football! 🏀🏈
Delano’s love for sports also means that Craig is actively involved in his son’s activities. In fact, he coaches Delano’s recreational basketball team, and he couldn’t be prouder of his son’s growing skills and love for the game. 🏅🎯:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(995x452:997x454)/craig-melvin-lindsay-czarniak-kids-042326-bc05504691be462abb50074d6e249cd9.jpg)
Craig fondly recalls their unforgettable experience at the 2023 Super Bowl, where they watched Delano’s favorite players, Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, in action. “I’d never had the chance to go to the Super Bowl with my dad, so I hope this moment becomes something Delano shares with his own kids one day,” Craig said, highlighting how special family memories are. 🏆
Sybil Ann Melvin, 9
Sybil, born on November 5, 2016, has a vibrant personality that perfectly complements her family dynamic. With her spunky, confident attitude, Sybil keeps her parents on their toes. Craig affectionately calls her “smart” and “always up for adventure,” and it’s clear that she’s always ready to share her thoughts. 💬✨
Sybil’s love for dance and gymnastics has also helped Craig tap into his emotional side, particularly during her dance recitals. “I never really got emotional until fatherhood,” he shared, recounting how he got teary-eyed as Sybil performed. 👯♀️💕
Although Sybil doesn’t share her dad’s passion for sports, the father-daughter duo has found other ways to bond—like enjoying a movie outing to see The Little Mermaid or just having meaningful conversations. “We spend a fair amount of time just talking,” Craig said, adding that Sybil loves to share her thoughts, making her a joy to be around. 🎥🎶
Through the highs and lows, the Melvins prove that family is everything. Craig and Lindsay’s kids are growing up surrounded by love, laughter, and meaningful moments that will last a lifetime. 💖
