Life in the spotlight often means sharing not just the high points, but the deeply personal moments too—and Dylan Dreyer, beloved Today Show meteorologist and co-host, just did exactly that.
On Friday, she surprised fans with a candid Instagram post revealing that she and her husband of more than 10 years, Brian Fichera, have quietly separated.
A Quiet Decision Made Months Ago
In her emotional message, Dylan acknowledged the role her viewers and followers have played in her life, writing, “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.”
She went on to reveal, “A few months ago, Brian and I made the decision to separate.”
But despite the breakup, Dylan emphasized that the foundation of their relationship remains rooted in friendship and mutual respect, especially for the sake of their three young sons.
Still Best Friends, Focused on the Kids
According to a source who spoke to Daily Mail, the split has been completely amicable.
“Dylan and Brian remain best friends,” they said. “Their full focus is on raising their three small children together.”
And it sounds like they’re already doing just that.
Dylan noted in her message that they will continue to co-parent with love, putting their children first throughout this transition.
A Love Story That Started at Work
Dylan and Brian’s story began behind the scenes at NBC’s Boston affiliate, WHDH, where the two met while working together.
Brian, a freelance cameraman and producer, proposed to Dylan in July 2011 during a visit to her parents in Easton, Massachusetts.
They tied the knot in 2012 in Massachusetts and went on to build a family together—welcoming three boys: Calvin (8), Oliver (5), and little Russell (3).
Social Media Clues and a Father’s Day Post
While many fans didn’t see the split coming, some had noticed subtle changes online.
The last time Dylan shared a photo of Brian was June 15, in a sweet Father’s Day post showing the whole family posing together.
She captioned it with a joke about watching a Boston Red Sox game “from home,” and lovingly called him “Bri.”
Interestingly, that post stands out as one of the few appearances Brian has made on her feed in recent months.
A For-Sale Sign and a Fresh Start
Earlier in the year, Dylan listed the couple’s New York City apartment for $2.5 million, sparking quiet rumors about a possible life change.
They had purchased the space back in 2016 after selling a co-op on the Upper West Side, according to Realtor.com.
It now appears that listing the home may have been one of the early steps toward a new chapter for both of them.
Reflecting on Marriage and What Once Worked
Just last year, Dylan was opening up about what made her marriage strong.
She spoke to Today in 2023 about how the couple used shared hobbies like golf to reconnect.
“Golf is the thing we do together. We have a couple of drinks, we laugh.
We remember why we fell in love,” she said at the time.
Even amid the chaos of raising three energetic boys, Dylan said parenthood made their relationship stronger, not weaker.
“It’s a lot of kid time,” she joked. “We tag-team everything. But we’ve only gotten stronger.”
Communication Was Always Key
In previous interviews, Dylan had also been candid about their efforts to keep communication open.
She admitted she came from a family that often bottled up emotions, but Brian always encouraged her to talk things through—right away.
“Brian won’t even let me be mad for ten minutes,” she said with a laugh.
“He’s like, ‘Please just talk to me so we can go back to having fun.’”
Moving Forward With Love and Respect
While the news of their separation might feel sudden, it’s clear that Dylan and Brian are navigating it with grace and care—not only for each other but for the family they built together.
For fans who’ve followed her journey both on-screen and off, this is another moment where Dylan continues to show honesty, vulnerability, and strength—just as she always has.
