The popular morning show host opens up about the challenges that led to her divorce
“Today” show meteorologist Dylan Dreyer opens up about what she and her husband “couldn’t fix” in their marriage.
Dreyer first announced that she and Brian Fichera were separating in July. The two married in 2012 and have three children together.
“Everyone has their reasons for what leads to a separation or divorce, right?” Dreyer said while hosting “Today with Jenna and Friends” on Wednesday, alongside Jenna Bush Hager.

“That’s another story with a lot of wine for another time. But either way, we’ve come to this place. And there’s something liberating for Brian and I, where whatever the reasons are, whatever broke your marriage, you can fix it if you can, and ideally you would. Or you accept that it’s broken and you take this new step forward,” he shared.
“There was something we couldn’t fix, okay,” Dreyer said. “So now we have rethought our relationship and we are no longer husband and wife. And all those things that were broken, I don’t blame you, because we have accepted that they are broken, that’s why we separated. So now let’s move forward as friends.”
Dreyer said the two’s attention remains focused on their children, who “are surrounded by love every day.”

She has also remained committed to her faith to help her get through difficult times.
“There’s something really comforting about knowing that there’s a higher power holding my hand every day,” she said. “At the end of the day, with all the stress and everything going on, I put my head on the pillow and I’m happy.”
Dreyer has spoken many times about his relationship and his children on “Today.” For once she made headlines by sharing that she and her now ex communicated primarily via text messages.

“Our schedules mean we don’t see each other much, but we text all the time,” Dreyer said in 2022, adding that “it’s even easier to have an important or deep conversation over text because we express all of our thoughts without being interrupted.”
He added: “We don’t find it impersonal. In fact, quite the opposite. We know each other well enough to understand each other’s tone, so a lot is accomplished through text messages!”
