The Third Hour of TODAY co-host shares her three kids with ex-husband Brian Fichera. Since their split and eventual divorce in 2025, the pair have maintained a close friendship and are amicable co-parents. While there was no sign of Brian on the vacation, some members of his family were present. Catch a glimpse from the getaway below…
In many of the photos, Dylan posed with her boys, including many snaps by the beach and the pool. In one particular photo, Dylan was flanked by her sons, wearing a patterned red bikini that displayed her washboard abs.
"Hate to leave paradise on my birthday but it's time to get back to reality," she captioned her photoset. "Another year, another amazing annual family vacation! I'm so blessed to share wonderful memories with some of my favorite people!"

You got to enjoy your birthday with Cal almost as tall as you," and: "Happy birthday Dylan!! Awesome family! You look stunning in that two-piece!" plus: "Happy Birthday Dylan! Love your family vacation pics. Your boys are so handsome!"
Dylan and Brian, an NBC cinematographer and producer, were together for nearly 13 years when the former shared the news of the couple's decision to split on July 18, 2025. She revealed that they'd already been separated for a few months leading up to that point. Eventually, Dylan and her sons moved out of their longtime NYC apartment for a larger home outside the city.

"And he said, 'It's a group of people that love each other.' And I said, 'That's what we are, and we will always be that for you. But Mommy and Daddy work better as friends than as husband and wife.'"
She continued: "So now we've reframed our relationship. We're no longer husband and wife. And all those things that were broken — I don't hold them against (him). Because we've accepted they're broken. That's why we separated. Now let's move forward as friends."
