SAH.“Dylan Dreyer Breaks Silence on Life After Split — and Reveals the One Family Tradition She Still Shares With Her Ex”

Dylan Dreyer, the beloved Today meteorologist and mom of three, is opening up about the realities of co-parenting after her separation from husband Brian Fichera — and her honesty has struck a chord with parents everywhere. Appearing as a guest cohost on Today with Jenna & Friends on November 5, 2025, Dreyer shared how she and Fichera are navigating their “new normal” while putting their sons first.

The couple, who share sons Calvin, 8, Oliver (“Ollie”), 5, and Russell (“Rusty”), 4, have remained a close-knit family despite their split. Dreyer explained that one of the most important conversations she had was with Calvin, her eldest, when she tried to explain the meaning of family in simple, heartfelt terms.

“I asked Calvin, ‘What do you think a family is?’” she recalled. “And he said, ‘It’s a group of people who love each other.’ And I told him, ‘That’s what we are — and that’s what we’ll always be. But Mommy and Daddy work better as friends than as husband and wife.’”

Dreyer said her children didn’t care about “titles” or labels — they only cared about being surrounded by love. That sentiment has guided how she and Fichera structure their lives post-separation.

According to Dreyer, Fichera drops the boys off at school most mornings, and they still gather around the dinner table together most evenings. “First and foremost, the kids have to feel love and they have to be happy,” she said. “I have three boys, and I want their dad in their lives. They need both the dynamic of a father and a mother — and we’re providing that in the best way possible.”

Their commitment to maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship extends beyond everyday routines. Dreyer revealed that they plan to celebrate Thanksgiving together as a family, proving that love and stability can thrive even in the midst of change.

Beyond the emotional challenges, Dreyer’s bond with her boys continues to shine in everything she does. Fans got a glimpse of that connection in a lighthearted video from Halloween, where Dreyer FaceTimed her sons while dressed up as Frankie Valli. Wearing a slicked-back wig, tie, and button-down, she asked, “What do you think?” — only to be met with stunned silence. When Calvin hesitated, saying, “You don’t look like yourself,” Dreyer laughed, replying, “That’s the point!”

Her devotion to her sons is equally clear in quieter, more personal moments. This past August, she brought Calvin along for a special day on the Today set. The mother-son duo met Back to the Future legend Christopher Lloyd, snapped selfies, and shared smiles that spoke volumes about their close bond. “GREAT SCOTT!! What an awesome day to take Calvin to work!” she captioned on Instagram.

Through honesty, humor, and heart, Dylan Dreyer is redefining what modern family looks like — showing that love doesn’t disappear after separation; it simply evolves.
