NBC meteorologist Dylan Dreyer is splitting from her husband, Brian Fichera.
The third hour “Today” cohost announced the couple’s separation in a July 18 post on Instagram hours after the show ended Friday, writing over a sunset photograph that “for many years, I have shared my family with you — the highs and lows, the ups and downs, and all of the blessings and beautiful memories in between.”
“For that reason, I want to share with you that a few months ago, Brian and I made the decision to separate,” Dreyer wrote. “We began as friends, and we will remain the closest of friends. Most importantly, we will continue to co-parent our three wonderful boys together with nothing but love and respect.”
The “Today” star, 43, and Fichera, 38, who tied the knot in 2012, are parents to three sons: Calvin, Oliver and Rusty.
In September that year, Dreyer joined NBC News from Boston local news station WHDH, where the pair started dating and Dreyer had worked since 2007. She previously worked at other stations in Erie, Pennsylvania, and Providence, Rhode Island.

While Fichera is mostly missing from her Instagram posts this year, Dreyer wrote “Happy Father’s Day Bri!!” in a June 15 caption featuring a family selfie.
‘Today’ co-host Sheinelle Jones’ husband Uche Ojeh dies of brain cancer
In January 2023, the couple was the subject of a Today.com article about the “secret to keeping her marriage strong.”
“Golf is the thing we do together. We have a couple of drinks, we laugh. We remember why we fell in love,” Dreyer told Today. “Then we go home and it’s right back to family.”
It’s been a difficult year for NBC’s third hour “Today” family. In May, Dreyer’s third hour cohost Sheinelle Jones‘ husband Uche Ojeh died from an aggressive form of brain cancer at 45.
“With profound sadness, we share this morning that Uche Ojeh, the husband of our friend and ‘Today’ co-host Sheinelle Jones, has passed away after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma,” main anchor Savannah Guthrie shared on the “Today” show May 23.
In a social media post the same day , Dreyer wrote an open letter “to my dear friend @sheinelle_o …I wish I had the words to help you feel better.”
“I wish I could help you absorb all the love and prayers we’re sending out to you and your family. I’m blessed to have known Uche and this picture sums up the love and support and joy you shared with each other. May your heart be comforted by your memories. You’re both in our hearts and on our minds,” Dreyer added.
