Today’s Dylan Dreyer Reveals ‘Something Was Broken’ in Brian Fichera Marriage Amid Separation

The Today show’s Dylan Dreyer opened up about her divorce from estranged husband Brian Fichera for the first time since announcing their split in July.

“I appreciate everyone’s comments that have spoken up about my life and our decisions and what we have decided as a family, thank you for your opinions on that,” Dreyer, 44, said while cohosting the Wednesday, November 5, episode of Today with Jenna & Friends.

She continued, “Everybody has their reasons for what leads to a separation or divorce. That’s another story with a lot of wine and that’s a whole different thing, but either way we’ve gotten to this place.”

Dreyer, who married Fichera in 2012, shared the news of their separation in July via Instagram, writing, “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. Most importantly, we will continue to co-parent our three wonderful boys together with nothing but love and respect for one another.”

During her cohosting spot, Dreyer revealed that “there was something broken” in their marriage that couldn’t be fixed.

“There’s something freeing, I think, for Brian and I where — whatever reasons, whatever broke in a marriage — you could either fix it if you can and ideally you would and you try, and you try to fix things. Or you accept that it’s broken and you take this new step forward,” she said. “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.”
