Sheinelle Jones Addresses Absence from TODAY and Shares Personal Message with Fans

Sheinelle Jones, a familiar face on the TODAY show, has been noticeably absent from her usual spot in recent days. 

As a co-host of the third hour of TODAY, her disappearance from the show did not go unnoticed by viewers, many of whom began questioning where she was.

On Wednesday, Jones took to social media to address the situation, revealing that she has been away due to a personal matter involving her family’s health.

Jones Shares Emotional Message

In a heartfelt message, Jones expressed gratitude for the outpouring of concern and support she received from fans and colleagues alike.

“Hi everybody… I sincerely appreciate all of you who have reached out while I’ve been absent from the show,” she wrote. “I want to share with you that I’m taking time to deal with a family health matter. It’s not lost on me how lucky I am to have not only the support of my TODAY show family, but to also have all of you. Your kindness means so much to me. I’ll see you soon.”

While Jones did not disclose specific details about the family health matter, her message reassured viewers that she is grateful for their well wishes and intends to return when the time is right.

TODAY Show Team Sends Support

Jones’ colleagues also acknowledged her absence on-air, showing their love and support for their missing co-host.

Savannah Guthrie took a moment during Wednesday’s broadcast to address viewers who had been wondering about Jones’ whereabouts.

“We know so many of you have been asking about Sheinelle and missing her, and we miss her, too,” Guthrie said.

Craig Melvin, who recently took on a bigger role following Hoda Kotb’s departure, also sent a heartfelt message. “Sheinelle, we all love you, and we are so looking forward to having you back,” he added.

The show has been going through some notable transitions recently, including Kotb’s departure from TODAY, which left a significant void. Melvin has since stepped in as a co-anchor, marking a new chapter for the morning program.

Viewers Rally Behind Jones

As soon as Jones shared her update, fans flooded the comments with messages of love and encouragement. Many expressed their hopes for her family’s well-being and reassured her that they would be waiting patiently for her return.

Jones has been a key member of the TODAY show since 2019, bringing warmth and charisma to the program. Her absence is certainly felt, but her message indicates that she is focusing on what matters most—her family.

While it remains unclear when Jones will return to her seat on the morning show, one thing is certain: she has the full support of her TODAY colleagues and viewers who eagerly await her comeback.
