Sheinelle Jones’s husband, Uche Ojeh, has died after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. He was 45.
On Friday’s edition of the Today show, Jones’s co-hosts Savannah Guthrie, Craig Melvin, Al Roker, Carson Daly, Dylan Dreyer, and Jenna Bush Hager revealed that Ojeh had died.
“With profound sadness, we share this morning that Uche Ojeh has passed away after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma,” Guthrie said with tears in her eyes.
Jones and Ojeh were married for 18 years and share three children: son Kayin, 15, and fraternal twins Clara and Uche, 12.
“There are no words for the pain that we feel for Sheinelle and their three young children,” she continued. “Uche was an incredible person. We all loved him. ... We just want to say Sheinelle, Kayin, Uche and Clara and the Ojeh family: we are with you, we love you. You are our family and we're just sending all of our love to you right now.”
Jones revealed she was stepping away from the morning show in a January statement on Instagram saying she was dealing with a “family health matter.”
