Today's Dylan Dryer reveals real reason she’s not been on air

TODAY star Dylan Dryer has revealed why she hasn't been on air.

From Rome, Italy, Dylan shared that she had been away celebrating three special family occasions with her children, husband, and his parents.

Dylan, who's originally from New Jersey, shared a glimpse of her family living it up on an Italian holiday on Instagram.

The family photo that she posted shows the group on the famous Spanish Steps.

"A family trip to Rome turned out to be a great idea," she said in the caption of her post.

The meteorologist said that she and her husband, Brian Fichera, who is pictured in the group photo, are celebrating their 10-year anniversary.

With nearly 10 years on NBC's Weekend Today, she switched to working 3rd Hour Today on weekdays earlier this year. That change came four months after the birth of her third son.

Dylan married the NBC News producer and cameraman in 2012. She announced that they were expecting their first child in June of 2016.

Their children, Calvin, who's the oldest, Oliver, and Russell, who just turned one, are also in the sweet vacation image along with Brian's parents, who she said are celebrating 50 years of marriage.

Dylan's parents-in-law are simultaneously celebrating their 70th birthdays as well.

She hasn't made an appearance on air since last week, being that Russell's first birthday fell on September 29.

The Today weather anchor also included a hashtag that said "feeling blessed" at the end of her caption.

One of her Today costars, Sheinelle Jones, commented: "This is everything!!!!!" with three heart emojis.

A fan of Dylan commented: "Your kids have the biggest and brightest smiles. They make you smile back and encourage so much joy. PRICELESS"

"I love that you took the boys to Rome," someone else added. "What a special trip."
