Dylan Dreyer Surprisingly Met Her Husband, Brian Fichera, at Work

Journalist Dylan Dreyer is a top meteorologist on Today, which means viewers get to watch the journalist every day on the popular morning show. Since Dylan is in the homes of viewers so often, many have questions about her personal life, including the details of her marriage. — and separation — from her husband, Brian Fichera.

Dylan announced her and Brian's decision to separate in July 2025. In her Instagram post confirming the news, she shared that they would "remain the closest of friends" and focus on co-parenting their three children.

As Dylan focuses on her new beginning, here's the scoop on her husband and the life they shared together.

Dylan's husband, Brian, is an NBC News cameraman. The duo previously met while they were both working at the WHDH station in Boston. Brian was behind the cameras, and of course, Dylan was in front of them.

"When he started working more, he’d hang out more in the Weather Center with our friend Todd. The three of us starting hanging out more and more outside of work, building our friendship and getting closer," Dylan wrote on their wedding blog, according to Good Housekeeping.

"After a few years, we had a small party at Brian’s house which we dubbed the Jammy Jam. It was then that I realized I had totally fallen for him and from there it was history!" she added.

The couple previously tied the knot on Oct. 6, 2012, at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston. Soon after, they moved from Boston to NYC to start a new life as Dylan kicked off her career with Today.

In addition to sharing similar careers, the duo of nearly a decade has a lot of other things in common as well. They both love to golf and travel, but the biggest commonality they share is loving their sons and family time. 

The duo previously welcomed their first son, Calvin, 3, in December 2016. Their second son, Oliver, was born in January 2020 after she struggled with fertility issues. "I feel good," she told her Today co-hosts after her baby boy's birth. "I just feel so happy and so blessed." 

While the birth of Oliver was quite an exciting way to kick off 2020, things have been a little difficult for the couple since. In mid-April, Brian candidly revealed on Instagram that he tested positive for coronavirus and had a tough time battling the disease. He was forced to quarantine in his eldest son's bedroom for 10 days after suffering "debilitating" symptoms such as a fever, stomach issues, headaches, and a lot of emotional stress that led to many tears.

Soon after Brian recovered from Covid-19, he and Dylan announced they were expecting their third child. In September 2021, the couple's youngest, Russell "Rusty" James was born after Dylan's water broke six weeks early, per People. In her Instagram statement confirming her and Brian's separation, the weather woman confirmed that their focus was solely on their children.

“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,” Dylan 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."

“We began as friends, and we will remain the closest of friends," she added. "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.”
