Last week, The Today Show’s Dylan Dreyer announced her separation from her husband of 13 years, Brian Fichera. It appears there was a clear sign the couple were preparing to part ways when they listed their shared marital home in New York on the market for $2.5 million just months before.
The couple bought the Manhattan condo in 2016 after selling their Upper West Side co-op, which they listed for $862,000. Dylan and Brian moved into the apartment that featured two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a few months before they welcomed Calvin, the first child, in December.

Constructed in 2008, the 1,491-square-foot residence showcases floor-to-ceiling windows framing picturesque views of Battery Park’s stunning landscaping. Inside, the residence offers a generous living area with sophisticated oak flooring, a sleek chef’s kitchen outfitted with gray minimalist cabinetry, high-end appliances, and marble countertops, and a dining room that accommodates ten guests.
“Spectacular amenities include full time doorman, porters, a sky-lit indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, state of the art fitness center, children’s playroom and a 7,000 square foot landscaped rooftop with two built-in commercial barbecue grills, a wet bar and cabanas with retractable awnings,” the listing reads.

The bedrooms are “generously proportioned” and the “oversized” primary suite boasts a “five-fixture bathroom complete with Crema Luna limestone floors and tops, Waterworks fixtures and teak cabinetry”.
Dylan and Brian share three sons together: Calvin, eight, five-year-old Oliver, and Rusty, three. The couple transformed the space to fit their family of five, with the second bedroom featuring a three-level bunk bed, built-in storage, and animal-printed units.
The couple also own a beach house in Point Lookout, New York, that remains registered under Brian’s name.

Dylan’s announcement
The NBC meteorologist issued a statement via Instagram that shared the news she had split with her husband. “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,” wrote Dylan, with the words superimposed onto a picture of a sunset over a dock.

“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.”
“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,” she added, before concluding: “Thank you as always for your support.”
