Dylan Dreyer recently shared a glimpse into her Christmas celebrations, much to the delight of her fans. The mother of three boys—Calvin, 9, Oliver, 5, and Rusty, 4—posted several heartfelt photos on Instagram on December 31, capturing the joy of the holiday season.
In her post, Dylan included images of her children excitedly unwrapping gifts while dressed in matching pajamas. The family also enjoyed a festive dinner at home, creating cherished moments together. However, amidst the celebrations, she also shared a more serious note with a photo of Oliver in a hospital bed, indicating he was battling the flu. “A little taste of the holiday…and a little touch of the flu!” she wrote, wishing her followers a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year.
The holiday period is particularly special for the Dreyer family as it marks multiple birthdays. Calvin celebrated his 9th birthday on December 17, while Oliver is set to turn 6 on January 2.
Dylan shares her children with Brian Fichera, whom she married in 2012. Earlier this year, she made a poignant announcement about their separation, expressing her commitment to co-parenting their children amicably. “We began as friends, and we will remain the closest of friends,” she stated, emphasizing the importance of love and respect in their relationship.
In November, during an appearance on TODAY with Jenna & Friends, Dylan elaborated on how she conveyed the news of their separation to her children. She recalled asking Calvin for his perspective on family, to which he responded, “It’s a group of people that love each other.” Dylan reassured him that their family would always hold that same love, even as she and Brian chose to remain friends rather than spouses.
Despite the challenges presented by her recent separation and Oliver’s illness, Dylan’s holiday reflections convey warmth and gratitude for her family and the support they have for one another. Her outlook remains positive, with hopes for a bright new year ahead.
