New York City – Meteorologist and co-host of NBC’s “Today,” Dylan Dreyer, has announced her separation from husband Brian Fichera after 12 years of marriage. The announcement was made on social media on July 18, 2024, revealing that the couple had already decided to part ways a few months earlier.
Dreyer, 43, and Fichera, 38, married in October 2012, after meeting while both working at the same Boston news station, WHDH 7NEWS. Together, they have three sons: Calvin, aged 8; Oliver, aged 5; and Rusty, aged 3. Despite their separation, they have committed to maintaining a close friendship and co-parenting their children with mutual respect and love.
In her post, Dreyer expressed gratitude for the support from her fans during this transition, indicating the announcement was a step forward for her family. In 2024, Fichera has been notably absent from Dreyer’s social media presence, leading to speculation about the couple’s relationship. The last family photo they shared was on June 15, for Father’s Day, while earlier in January 2023, they had shared details about their marriage, highlighting their shared love for playing golf.
The couple’s journey has not been without its challenges. They struggled with secondary infertility before successfully welcoming their children, which they have discussed publicly in the past. Throughout the year, “Today” has also faced emotional challenges, including the recent death of co-host Sheinelle Jones’ husband, Uche Ojeh, from brain cancer, further illustrating the personal toll that can arise in the lives of public figures.
Following her separation announcement, Dreyer made her return to the “Today” show on July 21, but did not address her personal situation on-air, instead focusing on her co-hosts and inquiring about their weekends. Notably, she appeared without her wedding bands during this appearance, which many viewers observed as a significant detail post-announcement.
Dreyer and Fichera were recently seen participating in a family trip to Nevada, where Dreyer took part in the American Century golf championship. Throughout this period, Dreyer has continued to support her co-host Jones amid her time of loss, highlighting her commitment to her work and colleagues in the wake of her personal changes.
The Dreyer-Fichera separation underscores a moment of change for both individuals as they navigate co-parenting and their professional commitments, while also managing the public’s interest in their personal lives. As fans and followers react to the news, both Dreyer and Fichera appear committed to prioritizing their children’s wellbeing and maintaining a healthy relationship as parents.
