Dylan Dreyer has provided an update on her Today show colleague, Sheinelle Jones, who has been on a leave of absence since December 2024. Fans have been eager to learn when she might return to the morning show, and Dylan reassured everyone about Sheinelle’s well-being during an appearance at the 2025 Kentucky Derby.
“[Sheinelle’s] doing all right,” Dylan shared with E! News. “She’s hanging in there. We’re praying for her and her family. You know, she’s just going through a tough time with her family.” This shows the solidarity and support from the Today team as Sheinelle navigates her personal matters away from the spotlight.
Dylan emphasized that their bond remains strong, as the co-hosts consistently stay in touch. “We talk to her every day,” she noted. “One of us on the team talks to her every single day, and we’re there to support her, and we’ll welcome her back with open arms the second she can get back to us.”
Previous statements from Dylan, along with comments from Craig Melvin and Al Roker, have echoed similar sentiments, highlighting the commitment of the Today cast to support Sheinelle during her absence. “She wishes she was here with us,” Dylan mentioned to Access Hollywood in April. “She’s doing what she needs to do and she’ll be back.”
Amid the challenges she faces, audiences can take comfort in knowing that Sheinelle’s co-stars are eagerly anticipating her return. Their collective support sends a positive message of friendship and resilience during tough times. We continue to send our love and positive thoughts to Sheinelle during her journey to recovery.
