TV Anchor's Wedding Dress Almost Tossed After Husband's Death

Sheinelle Jones, a TODAY anchor, is embarking on a significant life change, moving her family to a new residence and enrolling her children in a different school. This move follows the passing of her husband, Uche Ojeh, who died in May 2025 at age 45 after a battle with glioblastoma. The couple shared three children: Kayin, 16, and 13-year-old twins Clara and Uche.

During the daunting process of clearing out their home, Jones discovered her wedding dress from their 2007 wedding. The dress, which had been stored in an old suitcase, was nearly discarded among countless boxes. She mentioned that the hem is still dirty from photos taken on Philadelphia streets, as she never had it preserved. Sheinelle and Uche first met as college students at Northwestern University, beginning a relationship that led to their marriage after eight years of long-distance dating.
