As a TV personality, NBC News meteorologist Dylan Dreyer is open with her fans about her family and personal life. The third hour Today co-host took to Instagram on July 18 to announce the difficult news that she and her husband, Brian Finchera, have decided to separate after 12 years of marriage.
"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's written statement began. "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."
Dylan continued on to say that she and Brian "will continue to co-parent our three wonderful boys together with nothing but love and respect for one another." She concluded the note by saying, "Thank you as always for your support."
While comments on the post have been disabled, Dylan broke her Instagram silence on July 20, sharing a photo of golf balls arranged in an egg carton. "Breakfast time! @theopen @golfchannel @nbcsports," she wrote in the caption.
Fans took the opportunity to rally around Dylan and share messages of support in the comments.
"Dylan - I feel that the world stopped soon as I hear you're parting ways with your husband. My heart is broken for you and your 3 boys BUT I never doubted your ability to handle any given situation. You are a very strong girl, full of grace, love, and decency. Lots of love and prayers to you," one person wrote.
"Thinking of you! So impressed by your strength! I have three boys too and got divorced when they were a bit older than your boys. Very difficult time but I am sending positive thoughts and prayers!! 💙💙💙," another added.
"Dylan thinking of you in this hard time. You are a warrior🤗🤗🤗," a third commenter chimed in.
Dylan has yet to address the news on the air, but it's clear she has plenty of people in her corner. She appeared on Today for the first time since the news broke, filling in for Al Roker as the meteorologist on Monday, July 21.
We so admire the strength and grace Dylan is displaying during this time — and of course, we'll keep tuning in to see her on our TV screens!
