Today's Sheinelle Jones Delays Spinoff Project After Husband's Death
The Today Show's Sheinelle Jones is delaying her spinoff book project for a second time after her husband Uche Ojeh's death.
Jones' upcoming book, Through Mom's Eyes, was originally set to be published on April 15, though the release date was later moved to October 21. Now, Publisher Penguin Random House is set to release the book on February 10, 2026.
Through Mom's Eyes is based on Jones' TodayShow segment where she speaks to the mothers of famous stars.
'When Sheinelle Jones launched Through Mom's Eyes, a recurring Today show segment interviewing celebrities' mothers about raising successful kids, she had an ulterior motive — she wanted to bring all their wisdom to bear on raising her own three children,' the book's synopsis states. 'So she asked Lin-Manuel Miranda's mom about staying present with kids while balancing a demanding career, talked with Lady Gaga's mom about how to recognize bullying, and got tips from Steph Curry's mom on making sure even future NBA royalty does his chores.'
In preparation for the book, Jones interviewed 'dozens of remarkable women and gathered a candid, warm, and insightful collection of valuable lessons about life, love and parenthood.'

The book's release date was pushed after it was announced that Ojeh died at the age of 45 in May following a private battle with brain cancer glioblastoma.
'There are no words for the pain that we feel for Sheinelle and their three young children,' Savannah Guthrie said on The Today Show at the time. 'Uche was an incredible person. We all loved him.'
Jones has remained absent from the morning show since December 2024, when it was originally explained that she was dealing with a 'family health matter.'
She later addressed her husband's death in an Instagram post in May. 'Thank you, for all of your love and support,' Jones wrote alongside a video of her Today co-hosts announcing Ojeh's passing.

A DWTS Pro's Airport Fiasco Sends Fans Into a Frenzy: 'THIS IS GOLD'
A DWTS Pro's Airport Fiasco Sends Fans Into a Frenzy: 'THIS IS GOLD' originally appeared on Parade. From Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov to Emma Slater and Alan Bersten and beyond, Dancing With the Stars has quite a few fan-favorite couples, but husband-and-wife duo Jenna Johnson and Val Chmerkovskiy are arguably the most hilarious of them all. If you didn't think so, Chmerkovskiy's latest TikTok video might just have you sold… Yesterday (August 10), the DWTS pro shared a TikTok video at the airport with his wife — fellow DWTS pro Johnson — going through security together. Although going through security at the airport is pretty standard, in the video, Johnson is seen getting evaluated by the TSA worker while Chmerkovskiy pans over to the screen. With a red square around her nether region, said screen shows that Johnson's crotch area is what needed further investigation. As if that whole airport fiasco wasn't funny enough, the caption is what sent fans into a frenzy, comprised of just two emojis: '💣 🐱' Needless to say, fans had a field day in the comment section. 'Okay Val, you win #1 caption,' one fan wrote, while another added, 'LMAO THE CAPTION??? 😭' A third exclaimed, "VAL I'M CACKLING," summing up the sentiment of a majority of viewers. Regardless of the setback, it is safe to say that both Chmerkovskiy and Johnson made it to their destination safely, with the latter posting an Instagram reel on the plane captioned, "OMG I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!! NYC ✈️ Paris," later in the evening. For all of the updates regarding their European travels, it is safe to say we will be keeping up with both parties on Instagram until further notice: @jennajohnson and @valentin.
