When NBC’s co-host and Meteorologist, Dylan Dreyer, announced her quiet separation from her husband, Brian Fichera, after 12 years of their marriage, the internet was left stunned. Dylan and Brian, who both work at the same organisation, were admired by TV audiences, internet users and colleagues for their strong bond and regular social media glimpses together with their family. However, even when Dylan announced their separation, she clarified that Brian might not be her husband, but his closest friend, and they would continue to be so. So, let’s talk about who Brian Fichera is, the man who supported his wife, Dylan, to thrive in her career.
Who is Dylan Dreyer’s ex-husband, Brian Fichera?
Brian Fichera was originally born and raised in Easton, Massachusetts. Unlike Dylan, he has been quietly working in the media production department without any spotlight. At the age of 38, he is working as a cameraman and producer in his successful career at NBC News. While the NBC co-host had appeared in front of the cameras for viewers, Brian worked behind them as he captured the morning show, which has become a staple in the USA’s mornings. Brian first met Dylan when he worked as an in-studio technician at a station in Boston, WHDH, together.

In an interview with Boston.com, the NBC’s Meteorologist recalled how she knew Brian was going to pop the question after she saw roses with two glasses of champagne. Soon, when she said ‘yes’, they walked through their house where their loved ones waited for them to have a grand celebration.

The duo’s first son, Calvin Fichera, was born on December 17, 2016; their second son, Oliver Fichera, was born on January 2, 2020, and their third son, Russell James “Rusty” Fichera, was born on September 29, 2021.
