**Sheinelle Jones’ Heart Melted by Dylan Dreyer’s Son’s Adorable Mispronunciation**
NEW YORK, NY – September 19, 2024 – “Today” show’s Sheinelle Jones ended Thursday on a high note, thanks to a charming moment shared by her colleague Dylan Dreyer. Dreyer posted an Instagram Story featuring her 5-year-old son, Oliver, attempting to name his mother’s co-workers.
While Oliver correctly identified Al Roker and Craig Melvin, it was his rendition of Sheinelle’s name that stole the show. His pronunciation of “Sheinelle” came out as “she-nail,” sending Dreyer into fits of laughter.
Jones, who recently returned to the “Today” show after a hiatus due to the passing of her husband, Uche Ojeh, embraced the lighthearted moment. She reposted the video on her own Instagram Story, captioning it: “The way he says my name gives me such joy!”
The moment of levity comes after a difficult period for Jones, who lost her husband to glioblastoma in May. She openly expressed her gratitude to her “Today” show colleagues and viewers for their support during her time away.
