Who are Sheinelle Jones' children? 'Today' host reveals parenthood was 'chaotic' in a 'good way'
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: ‘Today’ beloved host Sheinelle Jones shares three children, 14-year-old Kayin, and 11-year-old twins, Clara and Uche with her husband, Uche Ojeh.
The morning show anchor once talked about her children adding, “When they were younger, parenthood was chaotic in a good way.”
In 2017, Jones shared her perspective on parenting with People saying, "And I would be lying to you if I said that it wasn't. One 4-year-old alone can be a tornado, so I have two of them. And then they have a big brother who is 7."
She also revealed as her children grew older, they had the opportunity to visit their mom at work.
