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."'

Denise Richards & Husband Aaron Phypers Head Towards Divorce After 6-Year Marriage

Aaron Phypers took legal steps to end his marriage to Denise Richards after they had been together for several years. Reports indicate that the couple, who married in 2018, have recently decided to separate. Phypers now seeks spousal support and asks to retain certain personal belongings. Denise Richards' husband Aaron Phypers seeks spousal support after filing for divorce Aaron Phypers has filed for divorce from actor and reality TV personality Denise Richards after six years of marriage. Court documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on July 7, 2025, cite 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the split. Phypers listed July 4 as the date of separation. The couple began dating in June 2017 after meeting at Phypers' healing center in Malibu, where Richards was receiving treatment for 'preventative DNA repair.' They married in a private ceremony in Malibu in September 2018, shortly after Phypers finalized his divorce from Nicollette Sheridan. Richards, 54, and Phypers, 52, do not have children together, although Richards previously stated he was in the process of adopting her youngest daughter, Eloise, now 14. According to documents reviewed by the Los Angeles Times and PEOPLE, Phypers is requesting spousal support. He claims he has not earned any income since closing his business last year and alleges that Richards earns more than $250,000 per month through TV projects, brand partnerships, and OnlyFans. Phypers also asks the court to divide their assets and debts as separate property, listing his power tools, motorcycle, and sports car. Richards was previously married to Charlie Sheen from 2002 to 2006. They share two daughters, Sami and Lola. She adopted her third daughter, Eloise, in 2011. Neither Richards nor her representatives have commented on the divorce filing. In a March 2025 episode of her Peacock series Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, Richards said in a confessional, 'I'm never getting divorced again. Even if we hate each other, I'm not gonna f— get divorced.' Phypers added, 'We'll just have different homes or something. But we're not gonna hate each other.'

I'm forced to witness my wife dating endless stream of men as we still live together… did she ever really love me?

DEAR DEIDRE: SINCE my wife and I split up, she's been dating a constant stream of men. Although we're separated, we still live together, so I have to see her getting dolled up almost every night, then sometimes not coming home until the morning. Her behaviour makes me feel like she can't ever really have loved me, and it's killing me. We're in our mid-thirties and have been together since college. She's the only woman I've ever loved. Things started going wrong four years ago, after our daughter was born. My wife went off sex, blaming tiredness. But even when our daughter started sleeping through the night, she didn't want me any more. She stopped communicating and wanted to go out with her friends, leaving me to babysit. Then, six months ago, she told me our marriage was over. She said she didn't love me any more. But for financial reasons, it's been impossible for me to move out, and being stuck living together has made her resentful. Recently, she told me that as we're over, I'd have to put up with her seeing other men because she didn't want to wait any longer. She's on a dating site, meeting a different man every week. I can't tell you how painful it is. When she rolls home in the same clothes, and I know she has slept with another man, I want to cry. I'm just thankful she hasn't brought anyone back to our house. I still love her and don't want sex or a relationship with anyone else. I thought she was my soul mate and that we would be together for ever. The thought of having to move out and be alone again — just a part-time dad — is unbearable. I'm on anti-depressants be­cause I feel so low. Yet she's going out partying as if she doesn't have a care in the world. How can I let her go and move on with my life? DEIDRE SAYS: Having to live together after separating is now, unfortunately, a common issue. Your wife has moved on emotionally, but you haven't. Perhaps she thinks rubbing your face in her sexual activity will make you move out quicker. Instead, it's destroying you. It won't be good for your daughter either. While it's good you are taking medication, counselling would also help. Ask your doctor about this. It's a soul-destroying feeling being stuck in an unhappy situation, so try to work out a timescale for you to be able to separate physically also. This will help you to move on. If there's any way you could stay with a relative or friend for a while, so you are out of this toxic envir­onment, that will also be beneficial. My support pack, Moving On, should be useful, too. THANK YOU FOR... HELPING EASE SON'S ANXIETY OVER SPLIT DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER separating from my wife, I tried hard to be a good dad to my son, but every time I had him for the weekend, he just cried for his mum. It felt like she'd made me out to be the bad guy because I'd left her. But the truth is, I only left after she had an affair. The last thing I ever wanted was to split up my family, with a child of eight in the middle of it, or to be single at 40. I wrote to you asking how I could help my son to settle when he stayed with me. His anxiety and distress worried and upset me. You sent me your support pack, When Parents Fall Out, which explained how any tension between me and my ex could hurt my son. You also recommended I contact the helpline on 0808 800 2222 and (0300 0300 363) for more advice. And you reassured me that I was a good dad, and I needed to keep on telling my son I love him – so he didn't blame himself. I took your advice and my son now seems much more secure when he's with me. He's even messaging me from his tablet when he's at home. Thank you. TEENAGE TROUBLES DEAR DEIDRE: MY boyfriend is so judgmental, he makes me feel like I can't be myself. When I went out with some friends the other night and got drunk, he was really annoyed. He told me he didn't love me when I drank and that they're a bad influence. We're both 18 and have been together for two years. I hate feeling like I'm not good enough for him and have to act the way he expects. We had a big row and now he's being all sweet and loving because he knows he upset me. What should I do? DEIDRE SAYS: If he's making you feel you can't be yourself, and emotionally blackmailing you, it's a red flag. Being concerned about you is one thing, but controlling is another. Tell him how you feel and ask him to be more understanding. But if things don't change, it might be wise to move on. Read my support pack, Learning About Relationships. ANGERED BY DAUGHTER USING EX TO DECEIVE ME DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN my teenage daughter told me she wanted to get her nose pierced, I forbade her from doing it. But my ex – her dad – gave his permission, despite knowing how I felt. Now she has an extra hole in her nose and I'm furious with both of them for being so sneaky and dishonest. I'm a single mum in my early 40s. My daughter is 15. She got her ears pierced at nine, with my blessing. But when she said she wanted a nose stud because she thinks it looks cool, I vetoed the idea. Personally, I think having lots of piercings looks tacky. And I also worry about whether it'll affect her chances of getting a job in the future. Plus, I was concerned it might get infected. I told her if she still wanted to do it at 18, it was her choice. Instead of taking no for an answer, she went behind my back and asked her dad. She came home from her weekend at his with a great big stud in her nose. I'm really furious. They think I'm overreacting, but I feel very strongly about this issue. Am I in the wrong? DEIDRE SAYS: Teenagers love to rebel, so it's likely telling your daughter you think nose piercings look tacky will only have encouraged her. But the damage is done. The hole will eventually heal up if she takes out the stud – which she may have to do at school anyway, depending on their policies. And she can remove it for job interviews – if she hasn't grown bored with it by then. It sounds, understandably, like you're more angry she went behind your back, and that your ex disrespected you, than you are about the piercing itself. When you're calmer, you need to sit down with each of them and explain why this has upset you so much. Consider agreeing to some rules and boundaries with your ex so you're on the same page in future. NEED TO CHANGE MY PERFECTIONISM DEAR DEIDRE: I'M such an obsessive perfectionist that it's spoiling my life – and my marriage. When I planned a birthday party and people either didn't reply or let me down at the last minute, I was so upset that it ruined the whole event for me. Now, I've stopped speaking to several friends. I'm a 38-year-old woman and my husband is 40. I always go the extra mile for everyone. The problem is, I expect everyone else to be as diligent as me, and when they're not, I feel let down and stop trusting them. I've driven away so many people that I'm increasingly lonely and hate myself. I do talk to my husband about this and he says I should just 'chill' and stop holding people to impossible standards. I'm the same at work. I always end up doing overtime and resenting the rest of my team, who don't put in the same effort. I know my perfectionism is unhealthy. How can I change? DEIDRE SAYS: It seems you lack self-confidence, which translates to neediness. You set impossible standards for everyone, including yourself, and when they're not met, you feel miserable. It's likely this has roots in your childhood. Perhaps you were made to feel you were never good enough. But nobody is perfect. Having flaws makes us human, and sometimes you need to forgive people – and yourself. As you know, it's not that easy to just 'chill'. But talking to a counsellor could be beneficial. See my support pack, How Counselling Can Help, for more information.
