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 Today.com 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.”

“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!”
