Today Show Hosts Support Sheinelle Jones' Return

Sheinelle Jones, co-host of the 'Today' show's third hour, has been absent since December 2024 due to a serious family health matter, as confirmed by her January Instagram post and further updates from her colleagues. During a segment broadcast from a cruise ship, co-hosts Craig Melvin, Al Roker, and Dylan Dreyer reiterated their ongoing support and regular contact with Jones. They emphasized that Jones misses being on the show and intends to return once her personal circumstances permit. Multiple sources clarified that the health issue does not involve Jones herself or her three children. Jones has expressed deep gratitude for the support and kindness shown by fans and her 'Today' family. Her absence continues to be felt by both viewers and colleagues.
