'Today' meteorologist Dylan Dreyer announces split from husband Brian Fichera
NBC meteorologist Dylan Dreyer is splitting from her husband, Brian Fichera. The third hour "Today" cohost announced the couple's separation in a July 18 post on Instagram hours after the show ended Friday, writing over a sunset photograph that "for many years, I have shared my family with you -- the highs and lows, the ups and downs, and all of the blessings and beautiful memories in between." "For that reason, I want to share with you that a few months ago, Brian and I made the decision to spearate," Dreyer wrote. "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." The "Today" star, 43, and Fichera, 38, who tied the knot in 2012, are parents to three sons: Calvin, Oliver and Rusty. In September that year, the Dreyer joined NBC News from Boston local news station WHDH, where the pair started dating and Dreyer had worked since 2007. She previously worked at other stations in Erie, Pennsylvania, and Providence, Rhode Island. While Fichera is mostly missing from her Instagram posts this year, Dreyer wrote "Happy Father's Day Bri!!" in a June 15 caption featuring a family selfie. 'Today' co-host Sheinelle Jones' husband Uche Ojeh dies of brain cancer In January 2023, the couple was the subject of a article about the "secret to keeping her marriage strong." "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. "Then we go home and it's right back to family." It's been a difficult year for NBC's third hour "Today" family. In May, Dreyer's third hour cohost Sheinelle Jones' husband Uche Ojeh died from an aggressive form of brain cancer at 45. "With profound sadness, we share this morning that Uche Ojeh, the husband of our friend and 'Today' co-host Sheinelle Jones, has passed away after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma," main anchor Savannah Guthrie shared on the "Today" show May 23. In a social media post the same day , Dreyer wrote an open letter "to my dear friend @sheinelle_o …I wish I had the words to help you feel better." "I wish I could help you absorb all the love and prayers we're sending out to you and your family. I'm blessed to have known Uche and this picture sums up the love and support and joy you shared with each other. May your heart be comforted by your memories. You're both in our hearts and on our minds," Dreyer added.

Chip and Joanna Gaines Share MAJOR Family Update — And Fans Are Freaking Out
Joanna and Chip Gaines's family just got a little bit bigger. The Magnolia mogul recently revealed on Instagram that her family embarked on an old-school road trip—and ended up getting a dog in the process. "Chip asked the kids to go on a road trip with him for Father's Day," Joanna explains in her Instagram reel's caption. "Each kid got to pick where they wanted to go, and Crew chose Oklahoma first bc he wanted to see a tornado and red dirt." From there, the family made pit stops in New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona—and managed to capture it all on camera. Joanna reveals that her Reel is entirely made of footage her daughter recorded during their travels. From simple shots of small towns to epic cliff jumps, it looks like they had a blast. However, the trip got really interesting when the family arrived in Marfa, Texas. "They decided to surprise mom and get another puppy," Joanna reveals. "We named her Marfa." Fittingly, Marfa made an adorable cameo at the end of the video—and we totally get why it was love at first bark. Not only did many of Joanna's 13.8 million Instagram followers welcome Marfa into the fold with open arms, but they also praised the entire trip. "Love this," one Instagrammer wrote. "Love Chip wanting to spend time with the kids by himself." "Love this and I think it's important for families to do things like this even when everyone gets older," another commented. "Memories that will last a lifetime." A third simply said, "Making great memories." Turns out, Joanna couldn't agree more. "Chip, you're such a fun dad," she wrote at the end of her caption. "They'll never forget this trip!" While this isn't the first dog Joanna and Chip have added to the crew—the family owned at least six previously—we do think this is an opportune time for Magnolia to debut a pet collection. In the meantime, the Gaines family can enjoy these fierce (and fashionable!)
