Sheinelle Jones<\/a> ended Thursday, September 18, with a smile on her face, thanks to Dylan Dreyer<\/a>\u2018s 5-year-old son, Oliver.<\/p>\n Jones shared a sweet clip Dreyer sent her of her middle child listing her coworkers via her Instagram Story on Thursday. \u201cOllie, who do I work with?\u201d Dreyer said, through giggles, in the clip.<\/p>\n Oliver proceeded to list Dreyer\u2019s third hour of Today<\/a> cohosts, including Al Roker<\/a> and Craig Melvin<\/a>. His pronunciation of Jones\u2019 first name, however, left Dreyer in a fit of laughter, as his version of Sheinelle sounded more like \u201cshe-nail\u201d than \u201cshe-nelle.\u201d<\/p>\n Jones loved Oliver\u2019s unique pronunciation. \u201cThe way he says my name gives me such joy!<\/p>\n \ufffd\ufffd<\/p>\n #citykidwithacountrytwang<\/p>\n \u2764<\/p>\n ,\u201d she captioned the Instagram Story video. Dreyer also reposted the clip via her own Instagram Story.<\/p>\n Dreyer shares Oliver, as well as sons Calvin, 8, and Rusty, 3, with her estranged husband, Brian Fichera.

After Jones took several months off from the NBC morning show to deal with a family health matter, her Today colleagues announced on May 23 that Ojeh had died at the age of 45<\/a> following a private battle with the brain cancer glioblastoma.<\/p>\n Dreyer, along with the rest of the Today cast, supported Jones through her family\u2019s loss. \u201cShe\u2019s in mom mode<\/a> right now,\u201d Dreyer told Access Hollywood<\/a> in July. \u201cShe has three young kids that she has to care for. It\u2019s a really tough time for the family. \u2026 She\u2019s just taking the time she needs to spend with those kids. I can\u2019t even imagine what they\u2019re going through, what she\u2019s going through, and she\u2019s just being strong for them.\u201d<\/p>\n Jones made her official return to Today<\/a> on September 5, during which she called her cohosts her \u201coxygen\u201d amid her difficult time. \u201cAnd you guys at home, all the messages and prayers and I\u2019m so thankful,\u201d she added. \u201cThis is my dream, and I didn\u2019t know how I would feel today. But walking through 30 Rock \u2014 I felt humbled by it, and I\u2019m honored that we took this much time for me to be able to share our love story. And so, here I am.\u201d<\/p>\n Upon finishing her first full week back on Today, Jones gave fans an update on how she was doing<\/a> in a September 12 Instagram<\/a> video. \u201cEvery day this week, I thought, \u2018OK, I just want to, like, sit down and tell people how I\u2019m feeling,’\u201d she said. \u201cAnd then, the days would come and go \u2014 and it was a lot. This week was a lot for me. It was a lot. And so, now, here we are, Friday, and I have the bandwidth to sit and just say thank you. Really, thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n Jones noted that she was touched by fans\u2019 encouraging social media comments, as well as called Today her \u201chappy place.\u201d She concluded her message by stating, \u201cI really underestimated the amount of stuff that we\u2019re all holding, and so, thank you for holding mine with care. I\u2019m saying thank you on behalf of myself and the kids, like, I know they see it. They\u2019re old enough now, they\u2019re on social. And you guys have been so kind to me and to them, and I love you for that.\u201d<\/p>\n Today, Weekdays, 7 a.m. ET, NBC<\/strong><\/p>\n Read the latest entertainment news on TV Insider<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
