Sheinelle Jones, beloved co-host of NBC’s “Today”, is mourning the loss of her husband of 17 years, Uche Ojeh, who passed away at 45 after a battle with glioblastoma. The emotional announcement aired on May 23, with Jones thanking supporters on Instagram.
Ojeh and Jones met at Northwestern University in the late ’90s and married in 2007. Together, they raised three children. Ojeh, a devoted father and consultant, was deeply rooted in faith, family, and Nigerian heritage. Known for his love of soccer and music, he never missed a moment with his kids.
Tributes from “Today” co-hosts highlighted his warmth and dedication. In a heartfelt segment, Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin remembered him as a loving partner and father. Jones previously stepped back from the show in January due to a “family health matter.”
Jones has shared touching memories, including a post celebrating their 16th anniversary. As she and her family grieve, the “Today” community and fans join in honoring Ojeh’s enduring legacy.
