Dylan Dreyer and husband Brian Fichera have quietly separated after 13 years together. The Today show co-host shared the heartfelt news on Instagram, emphasizing mutual respect and co-parenting.
In a surprising announcement that has stunned fans and followers alike, Dylan Dreyer—the beloved meteorologist and co-host of NBC’s Today—revealed that she and her husband, Brian Fichera, have quietly separated after 13 years together. Known for their heartwarming family moments and admired for their strong relationship, the couple’s decision to split came as a shock to many. Yet, amid the emotional disclosure, Dreyer emphasized their ongoing friendship and shared parenting responsibilities.
Public Announcement
On July 18, 2025, Dylan Dreyer took to Instagram to break the news that she and Brian had decided to go their separate ways a few months ago. In an emotional and carefully worded post, the 43-year-old TV personality shared her deep gratitude for the support Dylan Dreyer has received from fans over the years.
“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 decided to separate.”
Though she disabled the comment section to avoid public speculation or criticism, her message resonated with empathy and grace. Dreyer emphasized that they would continue to raise their three sons—Calvin (8), Oliver (5), and Russell aka Rusty (3)—together, maintaining love and mutual respect as co-parents and close friends.
When Did the Signs Begin to Show?
For many fans, the writing may have been on the wall. Observant viewers noticed Dylan not wearing her wedding ring during recent Today segments. Others remarked on Brian’s absence from her social media presence over the past several months.
Although they still lived under the same roof for the sake of their children, there was a noticeable shift. Some even speculated something was off when Brian didn’t appear in any posts around Valentine’s Day or early spring. The confirmation via Dreyer’s Instagram simply connected the dots fans had begun to draw.
Still United for Their Children
Despite their romantic separation, Dylan Dreyer and Brian have maintained a united front when it comes to their children. They’ve continued to spend family time together, making it a priority to ensure the boys’ lives remain as unaffected as possible.
Photos from July 4, 2025, showed the family enjoying Macy’s fireworks together—an event Dylan co-hosts annually. Just weeks before that, the couple was spotted at the American Century Championship golf course, appearing friendly and cooperative, with Brian acting as Dylan Dreyer’s caddie. Their shared love for golf, as Dylan Dreyer once said, “is the thing we do together,” and it seems to have remained a bonding activity even post-separation.
A Love Story That Began in the Newsroom
The Dylan Dreyer-Fichera love story began in the early 2000s when the two met while working at WHDH in Boston. At the time,Dylan Dreyer was a meteorologist and Brian was an in-studio technician. Their friendship blossomed after work hours, often hanging out with mutual friends.
In a blog post on her wedding website, Dylan fondly recalled the moment she realized Brian was “the one.” During a small party they called the “Jammy Jam” at Brian’s house, something clicked. A couple of years later, in 2012, Brian proposed, and they were married that same year.
The Rise of a Power Couple
After their marriage, the couple relocated to New York when Dylan was offered the role of co-anchor for Weekend Today. Brian followed her career move and secured a position at NBC as a freelance cameraman and producer. They quickly became a power couple admired not just for their professional synergy but also their loving family dynamic.
In 2016, they welcomed their first son, Calvin. Dylan has often spoken candidly about her fears during her first pregnancy and how Brian supported her unconditionally. The couple had Oliver in 2018 and Russell in 2021. Dreyer even stepped down from Weekend Today to focus more on family life.
No Divorce Filed—Yet
According to sources close to the couple, Dylan and Brian have not yet filed for divorce. They continue to live in the same home for the time being, prioritizing stability for their young sons. While legal proceedings may come later, their current focus remains on providing a loving environment for their children.
Social Media Clues and Fan Reactions
While Dylan remained active on Instagram, Brian’s noticeable absence from her posts led fans to question the couple’s relationship status long before the announcement. One user commented on a family photo, “Everyone was worried you and Brian split,” while another wrote, “Yay, Brian’s back!” when he appeared in a Father’s Day post in June.
In the post, Dylan had captioned: “Took the kids to the @redsox game … in the living room,” featuring a smiling Brian with their three sons. That appearance helped calm rumors momentarily, but whispers of a separation persisted.
The Breakup’s Emotional Impact on Fans
The separation touched a chord with Today fans, many of whom have followed Dylan and Brian’s journey for over a decade. Her transparency and heartfelt note were met with compassion, despite the comment section being turned off. Across other platforms, supporters left encouraging messages.
“You’ve always shared your heart with us, and we’re here for you.”
“Classy move to stay friends for the kids.”
Dylan’s openness and maturity in dealing with such a personal matter publicly have only increased respect for her as a media figure.
Continuing Their Professional Paths
Despite the personal change, Dylan Dreyer remains dedicated to her career. She continues to co-host Today and hosts Earth Odyssey, her educational wildlife show on NBC. Meanwhile, Brian, now a freelance cameraman and producer, has taken a step back from the public eye to focus on family.
A source close to the family said, “Brian is taking time to focus on his children and support Dylan in this transition. They’re both deeply committed parents.”
A New Chapter with Respect and Love
Though Dylan Dreyer and Brian Fichera’s romantic journey has come to an end, their story is far from over. They remain a shining example of how mutual respect, emotional maturity, and shared goals—especially around co-parenting—can define a successful post-marriage relationship.
Their love story, from newsroom friends to parents of three, has been one of genuine connection and growth. And as they now navigate a new chapter separately but united for their sons, fans are sure to continue supporting both of them with the same affection they’ve shown for over a decade.
