NBC Today Show meteorologist and third-hour co-anchor Dylan Dreyer has officially confirmed her separation from husband Brian Fichera after 12 years of marriage.
Dreyer, 43, shared the news with fans via Instagram on July 18, expressing gratitude for the ongoing support she has received from viewers over the years. “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 wrote. “I am incredibly grateful for the support and love you’ve given me through it all. For that reason, I want to share with you that a few months ago, Brian and I made the decision to separate.”
The longtime couple, who married in 2012, are parents to three children: Calvin (8), Oliver (5), and Rusty (3). They originally met while working at WHDH, a local NBC affiliate in Boston — Dreyer as a meteorologist and Fichera as an in-studio technician.

Despite the separation, the pair remain on good terms and committed to co-parenting their children with mutual respect. “We began as friends, and we will remain the closest of friends,” Dreyer continued in her message. “Most importantly, we will continue to co-parent our three wonderful boys together with nothing but love and respect for one another.”
A source close to the family also confirmed to PEOPLE magazine that Dreyer and Fichera “remain best friends” and are prioritizing their children throughout the transition.
In recent weeks, the family has continued to spend time together, including celebrating the Fourth of July and attending the Macy’s fireworks event, which Dreyer hosts for NBC. Fichera also accompanied her to the American Century Golf Championship in Lake Tahoe, where he served as her caddy — a reflection of their shared love of golf.
“Golf is the thing we do together,” Dreyer previously told Today.com in 2023. “We have a couple of drinks, we laugh.”
Fichera, now a producer and freelance cameraman for NBC News, once gifted Dreyer her first set of golf clubs during the early stages of their relationship — a gesture that marked the beginning of many shared memories.
Though their romantic relationship has come to an end, both Dreyer and Fichera have made it clear that their commitment to family and friendship remains strong.
