Sheinelle Jones Says Her Heart Is “Shattered” After Husband Uche Ojeh’s Death
Sheinelle Jones continues to navigate a difficult chapter.
The Today host returned to work Sept. 5, four months after the death of her husband Uche Ojeh, and it wasn’t an easy transition for her or kids Kayin,16, and twins Clara and Uche, 13.
Sheinelle, 47, shared that after months of her family rallying together to find bright spots through their grief, her husband’s absence was felt the most after they settled back into their routines.
“And then work comes, and we get through the first week of school, the first week back to work,” Sheinelle told Jenna Bush Hager during the Sept. 22 episode of Today With Jenna & Friends. “Friday, when we got home, it was tough. Because there was nothing for us to rally ourselves for.
She added, “It was just like, ‘Oh this is it. This is life.’ Kind of sucks.”
Sheinelle—who was married to Uche for 18 years—recalled just how much his absence was felt as she had to learn to navigate a big piece of her career without him.
