Dylan Dreyer was surrounded by friends and family, including her ex-husband Brian Fichera, for her birthday.
On Saturday, August 2, the TODAY anchor rang in her 44th trip around the sun, alongside Brian, their three kids, and her former NBC colleague Hoda Kotb and her daughters.
It marks the doting mom’s first major celebration since announcing her split from the cameraman, who she married in 2012 and with whom she shares sons Calvin, eight, Oliver, five, and Rusty, three.
Dylan took to Instagram the Sunday after her birthday and shared a glimpse into the festivities, starting with a photo of her decked out in birthday gear, including a sash and festive glasses.
She next shared a photo of her three boys posing with Hoda’s girls Haley and Hope, plus a photo of her smiling ear-to-ear while Cal, Oliver and Rusty embraced her.
Last but not least, she included a selfie with Hoda — who left TODAY in January — and one of them with the kids, plus two videos revealing that Brian was also part of the celebrations, which appear to have taken place at Hoda’s house.
