Sheinelle Jones‘ absence has concerned Today show viewers for months, and it all began when she missed her friend Hoda Kotb‘s January 2025 exit. Sheinelle has been a co-host on the NBC program for years, so fans are wondering where she’s been as of late and — perhaps more importantly — if she’s still on the show.
At the May 2025 Kentucky Derby, Sheinelle’s colleague Dylan Dreyer provided an update on her whereabouts during an interview with E! News.
“She’s doing all right. She’s hanging in there,” Dylan told the outlet. “We’re praying for her and her family. You know, she’s just going through a tough time with her family. … We talk to her every day. One of us on the team talks to her every single day, and we’re there to support her, and we’ll welcome her back with open arms the second she can get back to us.”
