Sheinelle Jones' Today show family is rallying around her following the heartbreaking news of her husband's death. On Friday, May 23, Savannah Guthrie announced with "profound sadness" that Jones' husband of 18 years, Uche Ojeh, 45, died after a "courageous" battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called Glioblastoma.
Today Co-Hosts Pay Tribute to Jones' Strength
Guthrie was joined by all her Today co-hosts Craig Melvin, Al Roker, Carson Daly, Dylan Dreyer, and Jenna Bush Hager as she shared the news and they reflected on how "strong" Jones has been. "Sheinelle has been so strong through all of this, as was Uche," Guthrie said.
Dreyer, who co-hosts the 3rd hour with Jones, Roker, and Melvin, added, "Even through this, she relied on her faith, she relied on her friends... She has her humor. I mean, we all know that. There's nobody funnier than Sheinelle. That humor, she's found the grace in the grief, which is not easy."

Jones' Co-Hosts Share Their Support
Jones' co-hosts have continued to voice their support for her, as Dreyer said earlier this month that "a week doesn't go by where we're not checking in, seeing how she's doing."
After the May 23 segment aired, Jones shared a post on social media. "Thank you, for all of your love and support ❤️," she captioned an Instagram video of the broadcast.
