Dylan Dreyer
and her husband, Brian Fichera, have parted ways after 13 years of marriage. Dreyer confirmed the news via her Instagram Friday, writing on top of a sunset photo, 'For many years I have shared my family with you all — the highs and lows. The ups and downs. And all of the blessings and beautiful memories in between.
The morning show star continued, 'I am incredibly grateful for the support and love you've given me through it all. For that reason, I want to share with you that a few months ago, Brian and I made the decision to separate.
Dylan Dreyer and Brian Fichera may have been drifting apart long before they announced their breakup this week, reports New York Post. A day before Dylan announced her divorce, she revealed she and the former NBC cameraman mainly communicated via text because of their busy and conflicting work hours.

Why is Dylan Dreyer getting a divorce?
Dylan Dreyer's announcement came as a surprise to some, but comments years ago suggest that the split may have been brewing for longer than anticipated. In an interview in 2022, Dylan Dreyer noted that she and her husband communicated mostly via text because of how busy their schedules and jobs were.

'Our schedules mean we don't see each other much, but we text all the time,' Dreyer, 43, admitted in 2022. 'Sometimes it's even easier to have an important or deep conversation via text because we get all our thoughts out without being interrupted.'
Dreyer also claimed that she and Fichera, 38, were able to turn the texting situation into a positive thing for their relationship. 'We don't find it impersonal. At the time, Dreyer noted that she and Fichera felt that they could anticipate the other person's tone or intention through text.

In fact, just the opposite,' she said at the time. 'We know each other well enough to understand each other's tone so a lot gets accomplished through texting!'
But, three years later things changed as the 'Today' co-host announced that she and Fichera had split up after nearly 13 years of marriage.
In her divorce announcement, Dreyer said that she and Fichera intend to focus on co-parenting their three sons "with nothing but love and respect for another."
The meteorologist added that she and her husband began as friends, and that they'll continue to be friends despite the end of their marriage.

Despite the impending divorce announcement, they appeared together last week at the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament. Dreyer played in the event and Fichera served as her caddy, and she posted several photos from the event.
'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 for another. Thank you as always for your support,' Dreyer added.
The former couple is still living together while co-parenting their three sons: Calvin, 8, Oliver, 5, and Russell, 3, according to The Post. The exes were away together in Lake Tahoe, California, for the American Century Championship just days before their breakup announcement.

Did fans speculate Dylan Dreyer's divorce?
Dreyer and Fichera go married in October 2012. On their 12th anniversary last year, the NBC television personality shared a sweet tribute on their 12th anniversary last year.
'12 years of marriage and I'm still in my happy place. Sitting on the couch with @fishlense,' she wrote at the time. 'After I took this picture, Brian pointed out that I posted the same thing 2 years ago!' 'Not much has changed and I wouldn't change a thing,' Dreyer added. 'Love you Bri!'
But fans began to speculate that something was amiss with Dreyer and Fichera's marriage back in May when he suddenly stopped posting to social media. Those concerns were temporarily squashed when Dreyer shared some pics of herself, Fichera and their three kids on Mother's Day, and again in June when the 'Today' co-host posted more photos to celebrate Father's Day.
