Everything to Know About Dylan Dreyer's Ex Brian Fichera — as 'Today' Star Confirms She's 'Recently Divorced'

Today star Dylan Dreyer has confirmed that her divorce from Brian Fichera is final, months after the former couple announced their separation.

Dreyer, 45, made the revelation during the October 15 episode of her “Parent Chat” podcast while explaining why her mother, Linda, has been staying with her for extended stretches. The divorce was finalized May 19, 2026, after Dreyer filed in March.

The former couple, who married in 2012, share three sons: Calvin, 9, Oliver, 6, and Russell, 5. Dreyer has continued to emphasize their commitment to raising their children together despite the end of their marriage.

Fichera is a producer and freelance cameraman who has worked behind the scenes for NBC News, including on Today.

Before joining NBC News, he worked as an in-studio technician at WHDH, NBC’s Boston affiliate, where he first met Dreyer.

The two also worked together on SiriusXM’s Lunch Date with Dylan & Brian. Fichera has largely maintained a behind-the-camera career while occasionally appearing alongside Dreyer in connection with her work.

Fichera and Dreyer first crossed paths during their morning shifts at WHDH. Their friendship eventually became a relationship, and Fichera proposed in 2011 at his parents’ home in Easton, Massachusetts.

Dreyer and Fichera’s relationship began at WHDH, where she worked as a meteorologist, and he worked as an in-studio technician.

Dreyer has previously shared that she initially mistook Fichera’s name for “Tom” and later grew closer to him through mutual friend Todd.

Their friendship turned romantic after a small gathering at Fichera’s home that Dreyer dubbed the “Jammy Jam,” which she has described as the moment she realized she had fallen for him.

The pair married Oct. 6, 2012, at Boston’s Cathedral of the Holy Cross, about a month after Dreyer began co-anchoring Weekend Today. She later recalled that their final dance at the reception was to Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida,” a song Fichera selected on the spot.

After moving from Boston to New York, Dreyer and Fichera welcomed three sons: Calvin, Oliver and Russell.

They announced their separation in July 2025, revealing that they had made the decision several months earlier.

At the time, Dreyer said they had started as friends and intended to remain close friends while co-parenting their boys with love and respect.

Dreyer later explained that there was “something we couldn’t fix” in the marriage and that they had chosen to “reframe” their relationship as friends. She said the change allowed them to move forward without holding onto the problems that had affected their marriage.

The family dynamic has remained close. In August, Dreyer revealed that she and her sons joined Fichera’s family for their annual Turks and Caicos vacation, even though Fichera was unable to attend because of scheduling conflicts.
