‘Today’ Show Host Dylan Dreyer Officially Files for Divorce from Brian Fichera Months After Split Announcement
By Entertainment Desk | Published March 17, 2026
The transition from partners to co-parents is becoming official for Today show meteorologist Dylan Dreyer. Following a public separation announced last year, Dreyer has formally filed for divorce from her husband of over 13 years, Brian Fichera.
According to court documents obtained early Tuesday, the NBC News staple filed the petition in New York, citing irreconcilable differences. The move comes roughly nine months after the couple first revealed to fans that they had decided to go their separate ways during the summer of 2025.
Dreyer and Fichera, a cameraman and producer whom she met while both were working at WHDH-TV in Boston, married in October 2012. Throughout their decade-plus marriage, the couple became fan favorites for their candid social media presence, often sharing the “messy reality” of parenting and their relatable dynamic in their New York City apartment.
The former couple shares three young sons: Calvin, 9, Oliver, 6, and Russell, 4. In her initial split announcement last summer, Dreyer emphasized that their primary focus would remain on the well-being of their children. “We have so much love and respect for one another, but we’ve decided that our lives are moving in different directions,” she shared at the time. “Our priority is, and always will be, ensuring our boys feel supported and loved.”
Insiders close to the 3rd Hour of Today co-host suggest the split has been amicable, with the pair continuing to co-parent effectively since their physical separation. Fichera has remained largely out of the spotlight since the announcement, though he has occasionally shared updates regarding the kids on his Instagram page.
Dreyer, 44, has been a pillar of the Today team since joining in 2012. Throughout her career, she has been open with viewers about her personal milestones, including her struggles with secondary infertility and the joys of motherhood. Viewers have noted her professionalism during this difficult personal transition, as she has continued her morning broadcasts and “On the Road” segments without missing a beat.
Representatives for Dreyer and NBC News have not yet released an official statement regarding the filing. Legal experts suggest that because the couple likely had a pre-arranged agreement following their summer split, the divorce proceedings may move swiftly through the court system.
As Dreyer enters this new chapter, her Today show family continues to rally around her. “Dylan is one of the strongest people we know,” a source close to the set said. “She’s handling this with the same grace and honesty she brings to the weather desk every morning.”
