Fichera is a producer and freelance cameraman for NBC NewsDylan Dreyer and Brian Fichera are calling it quits.
On July 18, the Today meteorologist announced her separation from Fichera on Instagram.
"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," Dreyer wrote. "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."
She continued, "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 one another."
The pair began dating while working at the same Boston news station and married in 2012, the same year Dreyer began working as a co-anchor for Weekend Today. After making a move from Boston to New York together, they became parents to three boys: Calvin Bradley, Oliver George and Russell James.
Dreyer now serves as the co-anchor of Today's third hour, while Fichera is a producer and freelance cameraman for NBC News.
So, who is Dylan Dreyer's estranged husband? Here's everything to know about Brian Fichera and his split from the Today meteorologist.
He is a producer
Fichera grew up in Easton, Mass., about an hour outside of Boston. He works for NBC News as a producer and freelance cameraman.
Dreyer and Fichera met at work
The pair met during the morning shift at NBC's Boston affiliate station, WHDH. At the time, Dreyer was working there as a meteorologist, and Fichera was an in-studio technician.
He proposed to Dreyer in 2011
In July 2011, Fichera popped the question on the front porch of his parents' house in Easton. 'When I saw there were roses and two glasses of champagne, I knew,'' she told Boston.com.
After he proposed, the pair walked through the house, where their friends and family were waiting in the backyard to celebrate their engagement.
Dreyer and Fichera married in 2012
Dreyer and Fichera married at The Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston on Oct. 6, 2012, one month after she began working as a co-anchor on Weekend Today. While the couple enjoyed their entire special day, their first dance stood out as a particularly special memory.
'At the end of our wedding the DJ asked Brian what song to play last. Brian just randomly said 'Viva La Vida' by Coldplay," she recalled to PEOPLE.
Dreyer added, 'We have no connection to the song but it was absolutely perfect. I tied up my long dress and he just spun me around the dance floor."
He shares three children with Dreyer
On Dec. 17, 2016, Fichera and Dreyer welcomed their first son, Calvin Bradley.
After experiencing a miscarriage and secondary infertility, the couple announced in July 2019 they were expanding their family once again. Dreyer revealed the news exclusively to PEOPLE while in her second trimester and 'past the point of worrying much about miscarriage' since their genetic testing 'went well.'
'[The baby] continues to grow healthy and strong each day,' the star said of her little one on the way. 'I'm so excited for Calvin to have a little [sibling]; he sort of understands what's going on but when you ask him about the baby, he says he wants to pet it. So we'll see!'
Oliver George arrived on Jan. 2, 2020. "All I do is stare at him," the new mother of two said during her Today call-in after his arrival. "I just want to kiss him every second. And he's got a ton of hair."
In May 2021, she shared on an episode of Today that baby number three would be arriving that fall. Her trio of boys was complete when baby Russell James was born six weeks early on Sept. 29, 2021.
During a virtual appearance on Today after his birth, she shared that the newborn's nickname would be Rusty and shared the special meaning behind his name — Russell is Fichera's dad's name, and James is her own father's name.
"We finally worked in a family connection. Both our dads started crying when we told them," she shared. "It's just been really special. I can't believe I was going to have to wait until November to meet him, and he's here and healthy."
Dreyer announced her split from Fichera in July 2025
After 12 years of marriage, Dreyer announced her separation from Fichera in a July 18 post on Instagram.
"Dylan and Brian remain best friends, and they are committed to coparenting and putting their three children first," a source later told PEOPLE.

Bing Crosby Stakes Sings At Del Mar On July 26

A talented nine horse field will race to reach the finish line first in the grade 1 Bing Crosby ... More Stakes at Del Mar Back in 1937, Bing Crosby opened a piece of heaven on earth down at old Del Mar. No one is quite sure if this crooning superstar realized he was creating a haven for the sport of Thoroughbred racing, but he likely had a pretty good idea this seaside oval would flourish. In fitting fashion, one of the top races of the summer meet is named in his honor. Garnering grade 1 status and offering a Breeders' Cup Sprint berth to the winner, this six-furlong dash over the Del Mar dirt has long provided season highlights and this year's edition looks to be more of the same. The 2025 Bing Crosby offers up a talented nine horse field that will have somebody singing at the end. Let's take a look at the entrants and provide a thought on each. Runners are listed by post position with trainer, jockey, and morning line. 1 Crazy Mason (Greg Sacco, Christopher Elliot 6-1 ) -Shipping from the East Coast, this son of Coal Front has won three of four starts this year. Two starts back he won the Carter Stakes at Aqueduct. Would it be Crazy to think he could ship and win??? His closing style could have him there at the end considering the front-end speed in the race. 2 Dr. Venkman (Mark Glatt, Antonio Fresu 4-1 )-This son of Ghostzapper has three wins and four seconds in eight lifetime starts. He has been the bridesmaid in both stats this year, but we think he is the one here. A stalking trip might just provide that trip to the circle. 3 Hejazi (Bob Baffert, Juan Hernandez 7-2 )- Nobody has won more Stakes races at Del Mar than Bob Baffert. He is not likely to add to that total here, but this New York-bred son of Bernardini can impact the race by contesting the early pace. Hejazi has two career wins, but has been in the money in eight of ten lifetime starts. 4 Smooth Crusein (Karen Headley, Kyle Frey 20-1 )- This three-year-old Florida-bred will be stepping up in class here. He ran against older horses in his last start and finished third in a four horse field at Santa Anita. This is a big ask for this son of Girvin and he can only hope for a Smooth trip. 5 World Record (Rodolphe Brisset, Flavien Prat 3-1 )- The speed of the speed in this one. Insanely fast early, his last two wins saw him on the lead with opening quarter miles that were 21 and change. If they leave this son of Gun Runner alone on the lead it will be over early. The home stretch at Del Mar will see plenty of excitement in the Bing Crosby Stakes on July 26 6 Roll on Big Joe (Robert Hess, Julien Leparoux 6-1 )- Grandson of Victory Gallop has four wins in five starts this year and was quite impressive in winning the grade 3 Kelly's Landing at Churchill Downs in his last start. In the money in fourteen of eighteen lifetime starts but has only managed one second in three starts at Del Mar. 7 Mbagnick (John Sadler, Armando Ayuso 5-1 )- After we figure out how to say this Chilean-bred's name we will decide if he has a real shot. John Sadler has saddled many winners at Del Mar, and this son of Practical Joke took'em gate to wire in winning his last start at this same distance on June 13. 8 Spirit of Makena (George Papapodromo, Abel Cedillo 20-1 )-This son of Ghostzapper won four of his first five career starts including two stakes victories. Injury sidelined him all of 2024 and he has a third-place finish in two starts this year but is winless since May of 2023. Coming back off such a layoff takes a lot of Spirit. The Bing and this field is a big asking. 9 Lovesick Blues (Librado Baracio, Geovani Franco 20-1 )-This California-bred is the veteran of the group with forty lifetime starts. Always a hard-knocker, this son of Grazen has been in the top three twenty-six times with eight wins. Although not likely to win, he is a horse that can be there at the end and pump up the exotic payouts.

'E! News' to end this year after 3 decades

The broadcast show 'E! News' will end this year, concluding a run that began in 1991 but which was interrupted during the Covid-19 pandemic, a source close to the situation said. The person confirmed the plans to cancel the broadcast show to NBC News, after the news was previously reported Thursday by Variety and other publications. Its final tape date will be September 25. Employees were notified Thursday morning. The entertainment network will remain online. "Access Hollywood" and "Access Daily" will continue its broadcasts. The broadcast show launched in 1991 but it was canceled in 2020 during the pandemic, which caused serious disruptions not only to the economy but also to studio shows. The broadcast show was brought back in 2022. E! is owned by NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News, but it will move along with other brands, including MSNBC and CNBC, to Comcast spin-off Versant, Comcast has said. NBCUniversal did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday. Comcast on Thursday announced its first board of directors for the planned spin-off. The spin-off will have under it USA Network, CNBC, MSNBC, Oxygen, E!, SYFY and Golf Channel and others, Comcast said.

Woman seen in Coldplay kiss cam video resigns from Astronomer

The woman seen in the now-viral video of a couple attempting to hide after being featured on a giant "kiss cam" screen at a Coldplay concert last week has resigned from her position at Astronomer. Kristin Cabot resigned from the data company, it said in a statement Thursday. The company confirmed Cabot was the woman seen in teh Cabot did not respond to a request for comment. It was not clear what position she held at the company, but an archived version of Astronomer's website lists her as its chief people officer. Cabot was identified by online users as the woman in the viral video. Online users identified both her and Astronomer CEO Andy Byron as being in the video. The company on Saturday said Byron had resigned. Cabot and Byron catapulted to international fame last week after Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, called them out for hiding their faces once they were caught on a kiss camera during a show in Massachusetts, hypothesizing that they were either shy or might have been having an affair. A video of the moment made rounds online and went viral on social media platforms X and TikTok. Internet sleuths almost immediatelyidentified the man and woman in the clip. On Friday, Astronomer, a New York-based data company, said its CEO had been placed on leave and that it was investigating the viral moment. Byron's resignation followed
