“Today” cohost Sheinelle Jones‘ husband has died from brain cancer … and, Jones’ team on the NBC flagship morning show paid tribute to him on-air Friday.
Uche Ojeh — Sheinelle’s husband of nearly 20 years — passed away recently after being diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.
The stars of “Today” gathered around on a couch to announce the news … becoming emotional while talking about Uche’s passing — with Savannah Guthrie saying their hearts go out to Sheinelle and her young kids.
The broadcast then gets into the details of Sheinelle and Uche’s relationships … from their beginnings at Northwestern University — where Uche later proposed to her “in the middle of a rainstorm.”
While Uche built a successful career in consulting, the “Today” team says personal relationships always took precedence in his life.
Sheinelle reshared the clip from “Today” on Instagram … writing, “Thank you, for all of your love and support. ❤️.”
Jones took a step back from “Today” late last year … letting fans know she was dealing with a “family health matter” — and, it’s now clear exactly what she meant by that.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Uche’s survived by Sheinelle and their three children — sons Kayin and Uche, and daughter Clara.
He was 45.
RIP
