Uche Ojeh passed away at the age of 45.

“With profound sadness, we share this morning that Uche Ojeh, the husband of our friend and TODAY co-host Sheinelle Jones, has passed away after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma,” Savannah Guthrie said on TODAY.

Guthrie was surrounded by Jones’ TODAY family, including Craig Melvin, Carson Daly, Al Roker, Jenna Bush Hager, and Dylan Dreyer.

“There are no words for the pain we feel for Sheinelle and their three young children,” Guthrie continued. “Uche was an incredible person. We all loved him. And so we want to take a moment to tell you more about the remarkable man who was Sheinelle’s perfect partner in life.”

With that, a video played on TODAY, giving viewers a look at the 17-year marriage Jones and her husband shared.

Jones and Ojeh married in 2007 and have three children: their son Kayin, born in August 2009, and twins, son Uche and daughter Clara, born in July 2012.
