'Today' Show Host Made Telling Admission Before Divorce Announcement
Last week, Dreyer announced that she and her husband Brian Fichera have split after nearly 13 years of being married.
"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," she said on Instagram.
"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."
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 a 2022 interview, Dreyer noted that she and her husband communicated mostly through text because of how busy their schedules and jobs were. Fichera is a former NBC cameraman.
'Our schedules mean we don't see each other much, but we text all the time,' Dreyer told TODAY.com.
'Sometimes it's even easier to have an important or deep conversation via text because we get all our thoughts out without being interrupted.'
At the time, Dreyer noted that she and Fichera felt that they could anticipate the other person's tone or intention through text.
'We don't find it impersonal. In fact, just the opposite,' the host said. 'We know each other well enough to understand each other's tone so a lot gets accomplished through texting!'
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.

Rob Lowe sent 'missing' milk cartons to 'West Wing' producers during on-set 'difficulties'
Lowe said "it's all good now," but it wasn't always. Has anyone seen Sam Seaborn? Rob Lowe, who played the idealistic deputy of communications at the White House on the first four seasons of NBC's acclaimed political drama The West Wing, asked that very question when he left the show as a regular cast member. Seaborn was been elected to office in California. "It's all good now, but there were some difficulties. At one point, they had sort of written me off the show. I didn't feel like I had a lot to do and so I made these," Lowe said, in a video on TikTok, as he held up a milk carton with a missing person ad for, yep, Seaborn. "I sent them to everbody affiliated with the show: the network, the studio, producers, executives." It was unclear if the recipients of his gift included costars, such as Martin Sheen, Allison Janney, Bradley Whitford, Richard Schiff, Janel Moloney, Dulé Hill, Joshua Malina, and the late John Spencer, in the drama about the inner workings of a Democratic administration. The show won an impressive 26 Emmys over the course of its seven-season run, between 1999 and 2006. While the carton bit is funny now, the prank came during a pretty tense situation. Lowe had signed onto the show, created by Aaron Sorkin, with the expectation that Seaborn would be the main character. It ended up being an ensemble. Lowe has also explained that he had felt "very undervalued" and, during an August 2023 appearance on Stitcher Studios' Podcrushed podcast, gave an example from seeing his adult sons grew up. They were "getting to a certain age where I could see them having first girlfriends and being in a relationship that was abusive and taking it," Lowe said. "'She's the popular girl, everybody likes her, she's beautiful, it must be great' — all the things that people would say about making The West Wing to me. 'It's so popular, it's so amazing, it must be amazing.' But I know what it's like, and if I couldn't walk away from it, then how could I empower my kids to walk away from it?" He called his decision to leave "the best thing I ever did." In his TikTok, Lowe said that these days he has "love" for the show and "everybody in it."
