‘Today’ Show Star Dylan Dreyer Officially Files for Divorce from Brian Fichera
NEW YORK — Dylan Dreyer, the beloved Today show meteorologist and co-host of the program’s third hour, has officially taken the legal step to end her marriage. According to court documents obtained on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, Dreyer has filed for divorce from her husband of over 13 years, Brian Fichera.
The filing comes several months after the couple first announced their separation to the public in the summer of 2025. While the news marks the formal conclusion of their romantic relationship, sources close to the family suggest the transition has been handled with mutual respect and a shared focus on their three children.
A Mutual Decision to Move Forward
The couple, who married in October 2012, initially shocked fans last year when they revealed they were living apart. At the time of their split announcement, Dreyer and Fichera released a joint statement emphasizing their commitment to their family despite their decision to pursue separate lives.
“We have grown apart as a couple, but we remain a team as parents,” the statement read last August. “Our priority is, and always will be, the happiness and well-being of our three boys. We ask for privacy as we navigate this new chapter.”
Building a Life in the Spotlight
Dreyer and Fichera first met while working at WHDH, an NBC affiliate in Boston, where she was a meteorologist and he was a cameraman. Their chemistry was often on display for fans, particularly through Fichera’s humorous social media posts and their shared appearances on various Today show segments.
Throughout their marriage, the pair was open about their struggles and triumphs, including their journey with secondary infertility and the joys of raising their three sons: Calvin, 9; Oliver, 6; and Russell (Rusty), 4. Their relatability made them a favorite couple among morning television viewers, making the news of their divorce particularly poignant for long-time followers.
Co-Parenting and Professional Success
Despite the personal upheaval, Dreyer has remained a mainstay on NBC’s morning lineup. Known for her professionalism and upbeat demeanor, she has continued to lead weather coverage and host Third Hour of Today without missing a beat. Insiders note that she and Fichera have been successfully co-parenting since their initial split, often coordinating schedules to ensure stability for their sons in their New York City home.
Fichera, who has worked behind the scenes as a technician and producer, has also remained active in the industry. While the legal proceedings are now underway, the lack of public friction suggests the former couple is aiming for an amicable settlement.
Looking Ahead
As the news of the filing circulates, fans have taken to social media to offer words of encouragement to the meteorologist. For Dreyer, the filing represents a finality to a difficult transition period, allowing her to focus on her career, her children, and her next chapter.
Representatives for Dreyer and NBC have not yet issued a formal comment regarding the legal filing. However, Dreyer has previously thanked her viewers for their “continued kindness and support” during what she described as a “year of significant change.”
