TODAY host Sheinelle Jones’ husband Uche Ojeh has died at 45 after a battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer, the stars of the show announced on Friday.
Sheinelle, 46, quietly stepped away from the NBC morning show in December to deal with a “family health matter.”
“I sincerely appreciate all of you who have reached out while I’ve been absent from the show. I want to share with you that I’m taking time to deal with a family health matter,” she told concerned fans in January.
“It’s not lost on me how lucky I am to have not on the support of my Today show family, but to also have all of you. Your kindness means so much to me. I’ll see you soon.”
She also delayed the release of her book Through Mom’s Eyes: Simple Wisdom From Mothers Who Raised Extraordinary Humans from April to October of this year.
A source told People at the time that the “serious” health issue did not concern Sheinelle or her kids.
Sheinelle and Uche share son Kayin, 15, and twins Clara and Uche, 12.
The couple met while attending Northwestern University in Chicago, and married in 2007.
“I was a fake tour guide. I was just walking to class,” she said in 2024. “I was like, ‘Are you guys lost?’ And I told him I would take him around because he was cute.”
The couple remained rock solid through the years, and she gushed over their marriage on his 43rd birthday in February 2023.
To think it all started right here at Northwestern 25 years ago. Then marriage a decade later,” she wrote on Instagram. “Then baby #1, then #2 & #3, moving to NYC, and 10,000 games, music and dance lessons later…We’re just getting started.”
The U.S. Sun reported in February that Sheinelle plans to return to Today after her difficult struggle, and will replace Hoda Kotb as Jenna Bush Hager’s co-host during the show’s fourth hour.
