The show «Today» recently underwent changes, but fans were concerned about the whereabouts of one of the hosts: Sheinelle Jones. The TV host was absent from the NBC program, and viewers were given an explanation in May 2025. Sheinelle’s husband, Uche Ojeh, passed away. She will return to the air in September 2025. Hollywood Life delves into Sheinelle’s absence below.
Sheinelle is a talented journalist, news anchor, and TV host. She began her broadcasting career at WICS. Originally from Philadelphia, she eventually landed her position at NBC News after working at various news stations for many years.
Fans of «Today» were worried when they didn’t see Sheinelle on the last day of Hoda Kotb on the morning show. Hoda left the program after nearly 20 years on the airwaves, and she and Sheinelle had developed a close working friendship. Sheinelle even wished Hoda a happy birthday in August 2024, writing a touching caption on Instagram: «To my friend who radiates joy and love every morning. Love you @hodakotb !! I know I say this all the time, but you make my heart happy».
On January 15, 2025, Sheinelle broke her silence about her absence and revealed that she was dealing with «family health» in an Instagram post.
«Hello everyone… I am sincerely grateful to all of you who reached out to me while I was absent from the program», - she began. «I want to share with you that I am taking time to focus on family health. I am not missing how happy I am to have not only the support of my family at 'Today' but also all of you. Your kindness means a lot to me. See you soon».
Just under four months later, Sheinelle’s colleague Dylan Dreyer shared an update on her whereabouts during an interview with E! News.
«She's doing well. She’s hanging in there», - said Dylan. «We're praying for her and her family. You know, she’s just going through a tough time with her family… We talk to her every day. One of us from the team talks to her every day, and we’re here to support her, and we welcome her back with open arms as soon as she can return to us».
In May 2025, it was revealed that Sheinelle was mourning the loss of her husband.
Sheinelle will return to «Today» on September 5, 2025. In May 2025, her colleagues announced the death of her husband, Uche Ojeh, after battling brain cancer known as glioblastoma.
