Weatherwoman Dylan Dreyer has shared intimate details on her separation with husband Brian Fichera. The popular meteorologist on The Today Show joined fellow friend and host Jenna Bush Hager for the first time on Today With Jenna & Friends to discuss how she is navigating this new chapter in her personal life. Dreyer, 44, shared she was in the process of separating from her husband in an Instagram post in July and revealed she was getting a divorce in August on social media, according to The Independent.
Dreyer says the story on why she separated will need “a lot of wine”
When asked by Jenna on her dating life now that she is single, Dreyer shared that she will remain friends with Fichera, whom she married in 2012. He will be co-parenting their three children, Cal, Ollie, and Rusty.
Dreyer began the discussion by making a sarcastic response to all the messages she has received about what she should be doing. “I appreciate everyone’s comments that have spoken up about my life and our decision and what we have decided as a family, thank you for your opinions on that.”
Dreyer didn’t want to go into specific reasons for what lead to their separation. “That’s another story with a lot of wine and that’s a whole different thing,” she explained, “but either way we’ve gotten to this place.”
The weatherwoman admitted that something broke in their marriage and while they could try to fix things, they decided to “accept that it’s broken” and move forward. Instead, they have “reframed” their relationship.
Dreyer continued, “We are no longer husband and wife and all those things that were broken, I don’t hold them against you because we’ve accepted they’re broken. That’s why we’re separated. So now let’s move forward as friends.”
She believes that she could “be a better friend than wife” with Brian. This echoes her Instagram post in July when she wrote, “We began as friends. And We will remain the closest of friends.”
As far as their co-parenting duties, she revealed that Fichera is typically in charge of dropping their kids from school and that they eat dinner together most nights, which will include Thanksgiving later this month.
The pair decided to sell their New York City apartment in September for a reduced asking price of nearly $2 million, as noted by Realtor.com. In November 2024, they had put the apartment up for sale for $2.49 million.
