Sheinelle, 47, has not been seen on NBC screens for a number of months.

She temporarily departed the show to deal with a ‘family health matter’ back in December.

Now, meteorologist Dylan Dreyer opened up on the current status of her co-star as she hinted that her personal circumstances are ‘tough’.

Speaking to E! News at the Kentucky Derby in Louisville, she admitted: “She’s doing all right.

“She’s hanging in there. We’re praying for her and her family. You know, she’s just going through a tough time with her family.”

The presenter abruptly stopped her anchor duties on December 18 as she took time away.

However, the hosting team – which is also made up of Savannah Guthrie, Craig Melvin and Al Roker – have been in close contact.

Dylan continued: “We talk to her every day.

“One of us on the team talks to her every single day, and we’re there to support her.”

She added: “We’ll welcome her back with open arms the second she can get back to us.”

He added: “We love our girl. It’s been nice to see how much everyone else loves her, too.”
