- Today host Sheinelle Jones makes heartbreaking admission about husband as she shares work update (irishstar.com)
Today show host Sheinelle Jones recently returned to work after the passing of her husband, Uche Ojeh, from an aggressive form of brain cancer. In a heartfelt message to fans on Instagram, Jones described the emotional rollercoaster of her first week back.
She expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support, saying the kindness of fans has been overwhelming in the best possible way. While being back on the show felt like coming home to a “happy place,” Jones admitted the return has been much harder than it appears. Simple moments, like turning on the lights in the morning without her husband, bring the reality of her loss crashing down.
Passing a museum that held memories of an impromptu date with Ojeh triggered another wave of grief, a stark reminder of the experiences they’ll no longer share. Jones confessed that being on the show provides a welcome escape, but the moment it ends, reality sets in.
She closed her message with a poignant statement: “I continue to fight for my joy… I long for the day where I don’t have to fight.”
