Watch: Today's Dylan Dreyer and Husband Brian Fichera Break Up After 12 Years of MarriageDylan Dreyer is weathering a new family dynamic. Months after sharing she and Brian Fichera were divorcing, the Today meteorologist detailed how the breakdown of their marriage ultimately gave them the gift of co-parenting their children Cal, 8, Ollie, 5, and Rusty, 4. "Everybody has their reasons for what leads to a separation or divorce right?" Dylan told Jenna Bush Hager as she cohosted Today with Jenna & Friends on Nov. 5. "Like that's another story with a lot of wine for another time. But either way, we've gotten to this place. And there's something freeing for Brian and I, where whatever reasons, whatever broke your marriage, you could either fix it if you can, and ideally you would. Or you accept that it's broken, and you take this new step forward." "There was something we couldn't fix," she continued. "So now we have reframed our relationship that 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 separated. So, now let's move forward as friends."readToday's Dylan Dreyer Vacations With Ex Brian Fichera After BreakupThat Dylan believes herself to "be a better friend than wife" to Brian has helped their kids better understand their relationship. "We even talked to the kids about it," the 44-year-old shared. "I asked Calvin, 'What do you think a family is?'' And he said, 'A group of people that love each other.' And I said, 'That's what we are, and we will always be that for you. But mommy and daddy work better as friends than as husband and wife.'" As she put it, "And he doesn't care about a title. He doesn't care about what we are officially. None of them do, they are surrounded by love every single day."Dylan Dreyer/InstagramDylan and Brian-who split after 12 years of marriage-spend time together with the kids in the mornings, on vacations and even have plans to spend the holidays together. As a result, their children have a good example of love. "First and foremost, the kids have to feel love and they have to be happy," Dylan said. "I have three boys. I want their dad in their lives. They need that. They need both the dynamics of a father and a mother and we're providing that to them in the best way possible. When life is all different, we're still having that relationship for them and they know us as friends who will be there for them no matter what." Aside from reframing her relationship with her estranged husband, Dylan is celebrating making it through her heartbreak journey with a little extra help. "I've relied on my faith more than anything," she shared. "And there's something really comforting about knowing that there is a higher power holding my hand every day. At the end of the day, with all of the stress and everything going on, that I lay my head on the pillow and I'm content."For more stars who got candid about their splits in 2025, keep reading...
