In a significant development for fans of NBC’s ‘Today’ show, beloved meteorologist and co-host Dylan Dreyer has announced her separation from husband Brian Fichera after 13 years of marriage. The news, shared by Dreyer herself on Instagram on July 18, 2025, marks a new chapter for the couple, who are committed to co-parenting their three sons.
Dreyer, 43, took to social media to share the personal update, posting a sunset photograph with a heartfelt message. “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,” she wrote. “For that reason, I want to share with you that a few months ago, Brian and I made the decision to separate.” She emphasized their enduring bond, stating, “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.”
Dylan Dreyer and Brian Fichera, an NBC News producer and cameraman, tied the knot in 2012. Their family grew to include three sons: Calvin, 8, Oliver, 5, and Rusty, 3. The couple’s journey began in Boston, where Dreyer worked at local news station WHDH before joining NBC News in September 2012. Their relationship has often been shared publicly, with Dreyer frequently posting about their family life and adventures.
While the announcement came as a surprise to many, some eagle-eyed fans had noticed subtle shifts in recent months. Dreyer was occasionally seen on the ‘Today’ show without her wedding ring, and Fichera’s presence on her social media had become less frequent, with his last Instagram post dating back to December. These observations had sparked speculation among their followers, who expressed concern about the couple’s relationship status in comments on Dreyer’s posts, particularly after a family selfie shared for Father’s Day in June.
Despite the separation, the couple has demonstrated a commitment to maintaining an amicable relationship for their children. Just recently, they were photographed together on a golf course for the American Century Championship tournament, showcasing their continued friendship and shared activities. A source close to the couple also confirmed to Page Six that while they have separated, “there is no divorce set yet,” and they are still residing together with their sons. The source added that Fichera, a freelance cameraman, is taking time off work to focus on family.
The news comes during what has been a challenging period for the ‘Today’ show’s third-hour family. In May, Dreyer’s co-host Sheinelle Jones experienced a profound loss with the passing of her husband, Uche Ojeh, at the age of 45, after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma. Dreyer had publicly offered her support to Jones during this difficult time, sharing a heartfelt message on social media. This collective experience underscores the close-knit nature of the ‘Today’ team and the personal challenges its members navigate.
Dreyer and Fichera had previously spoken about the strength of their marriage. In a January 2023 Today.com article, Dreyer shared that golf was their “secret to keeping her marriage strong.” She explained, “Golf is the thing we do together. We have a couple of drinks, we laugh. We remember why we fell in love. Then we go home and it’s right back to family.” Their current commitment to friendship and co-parenting reflects the enduring respect and love they share, prioritizing their children’s well-being above all else.
