dylandreyernbc\/Instagram<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe NBC newscaster, who shares sons Cal, 8, Ollie, 5, and Rusty, 4, with her ex, explained that \u201cthere was something we couldn\u2019t fix\u201d in the marriage, so they\u2019ve \u201creframed\u201d their relationship.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are no longer husband and wife and all those things that were broken, I don\u2019t hold them against you because we\u2019ve accepted they\u2019re broken,\u201d Dreyer shared. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why we\u2019re separated. So now let\u2019s move forward as friends. And I\u2019m not mad at those other things that I was getting mad at before because, just like a friend you give them a little more grace when you\u2019re not married to it. And I can be a better friend than a wife.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dreyer confirmed that Fichera, who is a freelance cameraman, continues to be an involved father and that the family of five still eats dinner together most nights.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst and foremost the kids have to feel love and they have to be happy,\u201d she told Bush Hager, 43. \u201cI have three boys. I want their dad in their lives. They need that. They need both the dynamic of a father and a mother, and we\u2019re providing that to them in the best way possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\nA photo of Dylan Dreyer\u2019s family on \u201cToday.\u201d NBC<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDylan Dreyer on \u201cToday with Jenna and Friends.\u201d NBC<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDylan Dreyer snaps a selfie with her family. Dylan Dreyer\/Instagram<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDreyer said she even talked to her oldest son about the shift in their family dynamic.<\/p>\n
\u201cI asked Calvin. I said, \u2018What do you think a family is?’\u201d she recalled. \u201cAnd he said, \u2018Well, it\u2019s a group of people that love each other.\u2019 And I said, \u2018That\u2019s what we are. And we will always be that for you. But Mommy and Daddy work better as friends than as husband and wife.\u2019 And he doesn\u2019t care about a title. He doesn\u2019t care what we are officially, none of them do. They are surrounded by love every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Bush Hager acknowledged that her colleague has been \u201cheartbroken\u201d over the split, Dreyer explained how she\u2019s relied on her faith during this trying time.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s something really comforting about knowing that there is a higher power holding my hand every day,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cI\u00a0feel okay every day. I come to work and I smile and it\u2019s not fake. I feel genuinely happy. I\u2019m with my kids and I\u2019m laughing all the time. I\u2019m with Brian and I\u2019m laughing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\nDylan Dreyer and Brian Fichera. Brian Fichera\/Instagram<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDylan Dreyer with her husband and three sons.

\u201cWe began as friends, and we will remain the closest of friends,\u201d Dreyer wrote in an Instagram statement on July 18. \u201cMost importantly, we will continue to co-parent our three wonderful boys together with nothing but love and respect for another.\u201d<\/p>\n
