Uche Ojeh, the husband of “Today” show co-host Sheinelle Jones, has died at the age of 45.

The heartbreaking news was announced on Friday’s broadcast by her colleagues. Jones and Ojeh were married for 17 years.

“With profound sadness, we share this morning that Uche Ojeh, the husband of our dear friend and ‘Today’ co-host Sheinelle Jones, has passed away after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma,” host Savannah Guthrie shared.

Guthrie continued to say that “there are no words for the pain” that she and the rest of the staff are experiencing for Jones’ family, including her three children.

“Uche was an incredible person. We all loved him,” Guthrie added.
