Sheinelle Jones’ colleagues are continuing to support her offscreen in the wake of her husband’s death.

“Today” stars Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker, Deborah Roberts, Jenna Bush Hager, Hoda Kotb, and Craig Melvin were all seen attending her husband’s funeral in New York on Friday, May 30, just one week after announcing his death.

Uche Ojeh — full name Uchechukwuka Adenola Ojeh — passed away on May 23 after losing his battle with brain cancer. He was 45.

Wearing a black form-fitting dress and tasteful hat, the grieving widow was photographed exiting the church with her “Today” colleagues trailing behind.

Everyone appeared emotional, with Melvin holding a Kleenex in his hand on the way out.

Bush Hager stood behind him somberly, holding what appeared to be a funeral program while Kotb, Roberts and Roker were pictured behind them.

Last week, Guthrie, 53, was given the difficult task of announcing Ojeh’s death on air.

“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,” she told viewers at home.



“There are no words for the pain we feel for Sheinelle and their three young children. Uche was an incredible person,” Guthrie continued. “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.”

Sources told The Post at the time that Ojeh put up a “brave fight” and was in hospice before his passing.

His death came months after Jones revealed she was stepping back from the third hour of “Today” for an extended time, only citing a family matter.

“I sincerely appreciate all of you who have reached out while I’ve been absent from the show. I want to share with you that I’m taking time to deal with a family health matter,” she wrote via Instagram.

“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.”

On Wednesday, two of Jones’ co-stars revealed how they were helping her through this horrible time.

“She’s such a close friend to me and I still don’t have the words. I don’t know what to say,” Dylan Dreyer told Us Weekly. “I’ve reached out. I don’t want to push too hard. There’s just a lot of things that she must be juggling right now. I mean, I don’t know the right words besides, ‘I’m here. Whenever you need a hug, let me know. I’ll be there in a second.’ And, I mean, I pray for every night.”

Roker also addressed being there for Jones.

“We tend to say, ‘Oh, I know what you’re going through. I know what you’re feeling.’ Nobody knows unless you’ve actually been in that,” he added. “So, we’re there. We just want to be there and pay tribute to the wonderful person that Uche was and still will be because he’s going to live on in those kids and live in all our memories.”

Jones and Ojeh married in 2007. They share three children: 14-year-old Kayin and 12-year-old twins Clara and Uche.

Jones spoke out shortly after her husband’s passing, telling her followers, “Thank you, for all of your love and support.”
