# Sheinelle Jones' Tearful Today Show Debut: Honoring Her Late Husband in the Most Heart-Wrenching Way **Imagine stepping into your dream job, only to be hit by a wave of grief that stops you in your tracks.** That's exactly what happened to beloved *Today* show host Sheinelle Jones during her emotional debut as permanent co-host on the new *Today with Jenna & Sheinelle* alongside Jenna Bush Hager.[1] Jones, who bravely returned to work after the heartbreaking loss of her husband Uche Ojeh to brain cancer in May, shared raw moments that left viewers—and her co-stars—in tears.[2] On her first day back, she broke down while reading a poignant text from Uche, revealing the depth of her ongoing sorrow.[3] Behind the scenes, simple routines hit hard: tiptoeing in the dark only to realize she no longer needed to be quiet for him, or driving past a museum where he'd surprised her with an impromptu date, complete with a suit, tie, tea, and croissants.[2] These stories poured out in a candid social media update and an interview with Savannah Guthrie, where she affirmed, "I am still me and that's why I'm here."[2]
