'Today' Show Star Announces Separation From Husband Of 12 Years
Dylan Dreyer, meteorologist for the 'Today' show, has announced that she and her husband of 12 years, Brian Fichera, are separating. 'For many years I have shared my family with you all―the highs and the lows. The ups and downs. And all of the blessings and beautiful memories in between,' Dreyer said in a statement she posted on her Instagram account on Friday. She added that she is 'incredibly grateful for the support and love you've given me throughout 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 said. 'We began as friends, and we will remain the closest of friends.' The two, who were married in 2012, share three children: Calvin, 8; Oliver, 5; and Russell, 3. Dreyer made a point to say the couple 'will continue to co-parent our three wonderful boys together with nothing but love and respect for one another.' 'Thank you as always for your support,' she said, before signing off. Dreyer's message had nearly 90,000 likes by Monday, though the comments on Instagram were turned off. Dreyer has routinely shared insight into her marriage with Fichera, who works as a cameraman and operator for NBC. In a interview in 2023, the meteorologist said that the two bond over golf, and try to talk through the challenges of parenting three small children. 'It's a lot of kid time. It's like, 'Brian, I need to take Oliver to the doctor. I need you to take Calvin to karate. I'll see you at dinner!'' Dreyer said at the time. 'I don't want to say it's had any negative impact on our relationship — we've only gotten stronger.' She also revealed in 2022 that the two mostly communicate through text due to their busy schedules. 'Our schedules mean we don't see each other much, but we text all the time,' Dreyer said, explaining that 'it's even easier to have an important or deep conversation via text because we get all our thoughts out without being interrupted.' 'We don't find it impersonal. In fact, just the opposite,' she said. 'We know each other well enough to understand each other's tone so a lot gets accomplished through texting!'

EXCLUSIVE Today host Dylan Dreyer announces shock separation from husband of 13 YEARS Brian Fichera
Today Show co-host and meteorologist Dylan Dreyer announced in a shock Instagram post Friday that she is separating from her husband of over a decade, Brian Fichera. She posted a long statement about the matter, beginning: '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. '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. '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. 'Thank you as always for your support,' the message concluded. A source told Daily Mail that the separation is 'amicable.' 'Dylan and Brian remain best friends, and the separation is amicable. Their full focus is on their three small children,' they explained. She posted a long statement about the matter, beginning: '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 anchor, who hosts the third hour of Today, married Fichera, a freelance cameraman and producer, in 2012. Brian proposed in July 2011 while they were visiting her parents in Easton Massachusetts. The two met while working at NBC's Boston affiliate, WHDH, and tied the knot in the Bay State as well. They share three children together - sons Calvin 'Cal' Bradley, eigh, Oliver 'Ollie' George, five, and Russell 'Rusty' James, three. The last photo of Fichera that Dreyer had posted to her Instagram page was on June 15, in honor of Father's Day. The sweet snap showed a selfie of their entire family, as she joked that they went to a Boston Red Sox game - from the comfort of their own home, lovingly referring to her husband as 'Bri.' But strangely enough, it's the only photo of him that she's posted on social media within the past few months. Earlier this year, the NBC Earth Odyssey host also listed their New York City apartment for $2.5 million, per Realtor. According to the outlet, Dreyer and her husband bought the home in 2016 after they sold their Upper West Side co-op. The news comes after Dreyer opened up about the secret to a having a happy marriage in 2023, after almost 11 years into their union. For her and Brian, she said that having a shared hobby helps them get back to their happy place. 'Golf is the thing we do together. We have a couple of drinks, we laugh. We remember why we fell in love,' Dreyer told Today at the time. 'Then we go home and it's right back to family.' They have three young boys and while it is challenging, they feel that parenthood has only made their relationship stronger. 'It's a lot of kid time. It's like, "Brian, I need to take Oliver to the doctor. I need you to take Calvin to karate. I'll see you at dinner!"' Dreyer shared. 'I don't want say it's had any negative impact on our relationship — we've only gotten stronger.' They also emphasize the importance of communication in their relationship. 'My family can hold a grudge. If something is bothering us, we're like, "I'll talk to you later," and then we never address why we were upset in the first place,' Dreyer explained. 'Brian won't even let me be mad for 10 minutes. He's like, "Please just talk to me about you're upset so we can go back to having fun."'
