'Today' Host Sheinelle Jones' Husband Dies of Brain Cancer

Sheinelle Jones, cohost of Today, announced on May 23, 2025, that her husband Uche Ojeh died after battling glioblastoma in a live NBC broadcast.
Ojeh's death followed a courageous struggle with an aggressive brain cancer that led Jones to take leave from the show since December 2024 to address family health matters.
Jones and Ojeh first connected as students at Northwestern University during the late 1990s, spent eight years together before getting engaged on their college campus, married in 2007, and have three children, including twins born in 2012.
Savannah Guthrie announced with deep sorrow that Uche Ojeh, husband of TODAY co-host Sheinelle Jones, has died after bravely fighting a severe type of brain cancer known as glioblastoma, and Craig Melvin noted that Ojeh cherished those children above all else.
The Today show community mourns Ojeh’s loss and supports Jones and her three young children as her return to the program remains uncertain.
