Today's Sheinelle Jones Delays Spinoff Project After Husband's Death
Today's Sheinelle Jones Delays Spinoff Project After Husband's Death originally appeared on Parade.
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.
