Today host Dylan Dreyer files for divorce from estranged husband Brian Fichera... eight months after announcing separation

Dylan Dreyer has officially filed for divorce from estranged husband Brian Fichera - eight months after announcing their shock separation. 

The 44-year-old Today host - who recently offered candid details about what led to the split - initially shared back in July 2025 that both she and Fichera had separated after tying the knot in 2012. 

The TV personality filed divorce paperwork last week on March 10, per Us Weekly. 

Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Dreyer, but did not immediately hear back. 

Dreyer and Fichera share children Calvin, nine, Oliver, six, and Russell, four, and she has since moved with her kids to Long Island.

A source told Us Weekly that the star and her three sons 'are thriving' and have developed 'a great new routine' following the separation. 

'She loves her job and loves that she can be home with the kids after school. She's very involved,' the insider added. 

Their split had been 'painful' for Dreyer and the Today co-host 'struggled with the idea of starting over and having this new life after being married for so many years.' 

However, she has garnered 'support' from those around her while putting her main focus into raising her children. 

Last year in July, Dreyer took to her main Instagram page to announce that both she and Fichera had separated months earlier. 

She uploaded a photo of a sunset while adding the text: '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.

'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 media personality further revealed that despite the split, both she and Fichera plan to maintain a positive co-parenting relationship.

'We began as friends, and we will remain the closest of friends. Most importantly, we will continue to co-parent our three wonderful boys together with nothing but love and respect for one another. Thank you as always for your support.' 

Late last year in November, Dreyer opened up about the split while on the Today show and said both she and Fichera had 'reframed our relationship.' 

'We're no longer husband and wife. And all those things that were broken - I don't hold them against you.'

She added, 'Because we've accepted they're broken. That's why we separated. Now let's move forward as friends.'

The TV personality added that she also no longer gets 'mad at those other things that I was getting mad at before, because just like a friend you give them a little more grace when you're not married to it.' 

Dreyer expressed that she feels like she can be a 'better friend' to Fichera 'than a wife.' 

She also explained that both parents will be in their children's lives moving forward in the future. 

'I want their dad in their life. They need that. They need both the dynamic of a mother and a father, and we're providing that to them in the best way possible.' 

The meteorologist first crossed paths with Fichera in the early 2000s when they were both working at a news station located in Boston.   

In a past blog for Good Housekeeping, Dreyer recalled how their friendship developed into a romance, per Us Weekly. 

'After a few years, we had a small party at Brian's house which we dubbed the Jammy Jam.'

The star added, 'It was then that I realized I had totally fallen for him and from there it was history!' 

Dreyer later tied the knot with the cameraman in October 2012 and previously talked about a special moment from the wedding reception. 

'At the end of our wedding the DJ asked Brian what song to play last. Brian just randomly said Viva La Vida by Coldplay,' she said during an interview with People back in 2023. 

'We have no connection to the song but it was absolutely perfect. I tied up my long dress and he just spun me around the dance floor. It was pure joy and love and happiness.' 

She also offered insight into her past relationship with the producer while talking to Today.com that same year. 

'Golf is the thing we do together. We have a couple of drinks, we laugh. We remember why we fell in love. Then we go home and it's right back to family.' 

She also discussed parenting with Fichera and said, 'It's a lot of kid time. It's like, "Brian, I need to take Oliver to the doctor. I need you to take Calvin to karate. I'll see you at dinner!" 

'I don't want say it's had any negative impact on our relationship - we've only gotten stronger.' 

Dreyer explained at the time how communication was key in their relationship.

'My family can hold a grudge. If something is bothering us, we're like, "I'll talk to you later," and then we never address why we were upset in the first place.

'Brian won't even let me be mad for 10 minutes. He's like, "Please just talk to me about you're upset so we can go back to having fun."'
