A heartwarming look into Dylan Dreyer’s 13-year journey with husband Brian Fichera, from their humble beginnings at a Boston news station to building a loving family of five while balancing careers, resilience, and deep personal connection.
Behind the polished poise of television personality Dylan Dreyer is a relationship that has quietly captivated those who’ve looked beyond the morning headlines.
The NBC meteorologist, known for her warmth and charm on shows like “Today,” has built a personal life filled with love, resilience, and partnership—one that began not with fanfare or fame, but in the quiet corners of a Boston news station.
Dylan and Brian Fichera met while working the same early morning shift at WHDH, the NBC affiliate in Boston. At the time, she was building her career in front of the camera, while Brian worked as a studio technician behind it.
Their connection was instant, albeit subtle. The long mornings, shared jokes, and hours spent navigating the high-energy atmosphere of a newsroom sparked a natural friendship.
But it wasn’t until a gathering at Brian’s house—cheekily dubbed “Jammy Jam”—that Dylan realized their friendship had grown into something deeper. That night marked the beginning of a love story that would evolve slowly but surely, away from the public eye.
By 2011, their relationship had flourished to the point that Brian proposed to Dylan on his parents’ front porch, complete with roses, champagne, and the kind of sweet awkwardness only true love can produce.
The two married the following year at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston, with the excitement of their union coinciding with Dylan’s promotion to co-anchor on NBC’s “Weekend Today.”
Their wedding marked not just a commitment, but the start of a shared life of growing careers, growing family, and growing love.
They relocated to New York City, where space was tight but their hearts were full. In their tiny apartment, they made a home. Dylan and Brian’s mutual respect for one another was the glue that held everything together as Dylan’s career continued to climb.
Despite their hectic schedules—his behind the scenes in production, hers on live television—they managed to stay grounded and connected.
In December 2016, they welcomed their first son, Calvin Bradley. Parenthood, as it does for many, transformed their lives. Calvin was later diagnosed with celiac disease, which required the family to adapt quickly to a gluten-free lifestyle.
The diagnosis didn’t just change their eating habits—it also brought them even closer together. The family turned the experience into a joyful tradition, with “Cooking with Cal” becoming a fan-favorite segment on “Today.”
Audiences got a peek into their lives at home, where Dylan’s professional persona blended effortlessly with her mom-side: apron, flour-streaked hair, and all.
Their second son, Oliver George, arrived in January 2020. What the public didn’t initially know was that before Oliver’s birth, Dylan had suffered a miscarriage.
The couple had even begun preparing for IVF, assuming it was the only way forward. The surprise pregnancy with Oliver felt like a blessing—an unexpected reminder that sometimes life writes its own script.
In September 2021, they welcomed their third child, Russell James, affectionately nicknamed “Rusty.” Though he arrived six weeks early, he was healthy. His name, a tribute to both Dylan and Brian’s fathers, added a deep layer of personal meaning to their growing family.
Throughout it all, Brian and Dylan have continued to build not just a family, but a creative and collaborative partnership. They co-host a SiriusXM show called “Lunch Date with Dylan & Brian,” where their natural chemistry and playful banter delight listeners.
Brian often calls Dylan “Dilly Ray Cyrus” or “Dyl Pickels”—nicknames that hint at the humor that runs through their relationship.
Their text exchanges, occasionally shared online under the hashtag #textsfromdyl, reveal a marriage built on communication, inside jokes, and a shared sense of fun.
What makes their relationship stand out is its balance. In a media landscape often dominated by sensationalism and celebrity drama, Dylan and Brian’s story is a refreshing return to something more relatable: two people who genuinely enjoy each other’s company and have each other’s backs.
Brian, a producer and cameraman, often supports Dylan behind the scenes—and sometimes, in front of them too.
The two are known to golf together, attend events side-by-side, and even participate in parenting duties as a united front. Dylan has often spoken about how much she values their team dynamic, especially on weekends when they can simply be “Mom and Dad.”
In 2022, Dylan made a pivotal decision: she stepped away from her role on “Weekend Today” to spend more time with her children. Her reason was simple but powerful—she didn’t want to miss the small moments, the soccer games, the pancake breakfasts, the bedtime stories.
That move, in many ways, encapsulates what their love story is all about. While their careers are public, the things that matter most—family, love, presence—are deeply private and deeply prioritized.
Now, as they approach their 13th wedding anniversary, Dylan and Brian’s love story remains steady, heartfelt, and inspiring.
It’s a story not built on grand gestures or public displays, but on consistency, kindness, and laughter shared in stolen moments between early morning shoots and late-night lullabies.
It’s a reminder that some of the most enduring romances don’t make headlines every day—but when you look a little closer, they’re the ones worth reading about.
In a world fascinated by flash and spectacle, the enduring connection between Dylan Dreyer and Brian Fichera shows that true love isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s the quiet strength of being there—through the storms, the sunshine, and everything in between.
