Dylan Dreyer may appear on-screen each morning in full glam, sporting a chic dress and her perfectly styled bob while delivering the weather on the TODAY Show – but off-camera, she’s a devoted mom to three boys. The meteorologist shared an insight into motherhood as she took to Instagram with a relatable parenting post. Dylan posted a screenshot of a school photo package in her online cart, opening up about a common parenting dilemma. Alongside the photo, she penned: “Not sure anything gives me more anxiety than choosing a school picture package. The number of wallet size photos I need for everyone in my family that I’ll never give. And a 3×5 or 5×7? What even are those sizes??? Sure…I’ll take it all! I’ll take it all and put it in the bottom of a box I’ll put in storage. But I did my duty as a mom.”

Dylan 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.”
