"Catch Craig Melvin as the co-anchor of the @todayshow, and you may hear a fellow host call him 'Mr. Southern Living,'" the update began. "It's an apt moniker for the Columbia, South Carolina-born journalist, who was raised in a household where the magazine came 'third or fourth to the Holy Bible,' he says."
The announcement continued: "In a full-circle moment, Craig's new column will debut on newsstands tomorrow in our June/July issue! Join us at the link in our profile to read our conversation with our newest columnist and learn the one Southern tradition he'll never give up."
In the comments, Melvin's Instagram followers reacted to the exciting news.
One fan declared of his new Southern Living column, "We are so proud of him!!! He makes South Carolina proud!!!!"
Another echoed, "We love you Craig so proud of our SC man 😍."
Someone else agreed, writing, "As a fellow South Carolinian, I'm so proud of Craig."
These days, Melvin is one busy man. In addition to his Today duties, the journalist must balance time with his wife, Lindsay Czarniak, and their two kids, Delano and Sybil.

Is Doechii's Oversized Balloon Jacket Summer's Newest Style Trend?
Source: Bryan Bedder / Getty When it comes to commanding the stage, rapper and budding style icon Doechii never misses. However, her May 31 performance at the Samsung Edge in New York didn't just deliver a flawless stage performance but a flawless fit, too. The Florida-born rapper has again gone viral. This time in a statement-making ensemble that blurs the lines between high fashion and hip-hop flair. The fashion girls are talking – and taking notes. The Grammy-winning artist hit the Samsung stage as part of a new partnership with the tech brand. She wore a dramatic balloon-shaped trench coat layered over a crisp white button-down and maroon necktie. Styled by Sam Woolfe, the look was cinched just enough to reveal her tiny waist and mini length to show off her legs. She paired the funky outwear with high beige socks and sharp black stilettos. Adding to her look was makeup and hair for the 'gawds. Her makeup included a silver cut crease, flawless matte skin, and a glossy red lip. Gold hoops and wire-rimmed glasses gave her fit a soft throwback finish, and her signature face tape continues to be that girl. What we love about Doechii's balloon jacket is that it challenges the idea of what summer style is (or should look like). A departure from the typical warm-weather dressing of booty shorts, maxi dresses, and skimpy tops, the 'Anxiety' femcee's fit stood out. Her body was still bodying – and so was her style. Her jacket is also a nod to icons like Andre Leon Talley who always played with proportions by his own rules. Yes, the piece is just that good. If you're thinking about how to tap into the Doechii summer style trend, start with exaggerated outerwear in breathable fabrics. Think unexpected to expected from linen and chambray to seersucker and chiffon. Pair the outerwear with short hemlines or stackable layers that help balance the volume. Source: Bryan Bedder / Getty For those not ready to go bare-legged just yet, layer baggy silhouettes over shorts or bike sets. Add sleek heels or chunky sneakers to stand out and don't be afraid to play with accessories that contrast the drama. Doechii's summer style trend is for the girls who like to put that ish on. Her fashion era continues to evolve —and we're ready for every oversized moment.
