Dylan Dreyer Confirms She's Officially Divorced
Today show co-host Dylan Dreyer confirmed her divorce on her podcast, revealing her mom has moved in to help with the kids. Alex and Jordan share the story.
Speaker 1: A familiar face from morning television is making personal news.
Today's show co-host Dylan Dreyer has confirmed that she is
officially divorced.
Speaker 2: How did she announce it?
Speaker 1: In a very Dylan Dreyer way, casually on her own podcast.
During Thursday's episode of her parent chat podcast, she was
explaining why her mother has been living with her. She said,
and I'm paraphrasing, why does my mom live with me?
What is happening in my house that I now have
my mom as a roommate? As you know, I'm recently divorced,
so my mom has been staying with me for months
at a time.
Speaker 2: Let's get the timeline straight. When did the marriage end?
Speaker 1: She and Brian Fichera married in 2012 after meeting at
the same Boston news station. They announced their separation in
July of 2025, after 12 years of marriage. She filed
for divorce in March of this year, and Page Six
reports the divorce was finalized on May 19th.
Speaker 2: And they have three kids, right?
Speaker 1: Three boys. Calvin, who's nine. Oliver, who's six, and Rusty,
who's five. When the separation was announced, Dreyer said they
began as friends and would remain the closest of friends,
and that they would continue to co-parent their boys with
love and respect.
Speaker 2: What's Brian Fichera's story?
Speaker 1: He's a producer and freelance cameraman for NBC News. They
moved from Boston to New York together when her career
took off, and she's now the co-anchor of Today's Third Hour.
Despite the split, she's stayed close with his family. In August,
she took the kids on the annual family vacation to
Turks and Caicos with her in-laws, even though Fekera couldn't
make it.
Speaker 2: And now her mom has moved in to help? Yes.
Speaker 1: Her mother, Linda, who lives far away, has been staying
with her for weeks and months at a time, helping
with the everyday chaos of three boys, emptying backpacks, cleaning lunchboxes,
running everybody around. Dreyer said she honestly doesn't know what
she would do without her.
Speaker 2: She also relocated, didn't she?
Speaker 1: Earlier this year, she moved to Long Island with the
three kids. A source told one outlet they're thriving in
their new town. The kids are happy, they have a
great new routine, and she loves that she can be
home with them after school. Despite the painful split, she
and Brian reportedly do a lot together for the sake
of the children.
Speaker 2: It's a very relatable story, isn't it? A working mom
leaning on her own mom?
Speaker 1: That's why it resonated so widely. Millions of people watched
her announce her weather forecasts for years while sharing her
family life on air. Now she's showing the messy, real side. Divorce, co-parenting...
and a grandmother moving in to hold it all together.
There's something quietly universal about it, and she told it
with the same warmth she brings to the Today Show
every morning.
Speaker 2: The way she announced it was interesting, too. Not a
press release, not a magazine exclusive, just a casual mention
on her own podcast. Right.
Speaker 1: She was talking about grandparents and parenting, and the divorce
came up naturally as the explanation for why her mom
lives with her. It felt honest rather than staged. After
sharing her separation on Instagram back in July of last year,
this was her closing that chapter on her own terms.
Speaker 2: And the co-parenting seems genuinely amicable.
Speaker 1: By all accounts, yes. They vacation with the in-laws, they
do things together for the kids, and she's said repeatedly
they'll remain the closest of friends. In a celebrity culture
full of bitter splits, there's something refreshing about two people
who met at a Boston news station, built a life,
and are now rebuilding it separately but kindly. Her mom
moving in is just the newest chapter.
