Sheinelle Jones Still Missing From ‘Today’ As She Postpones Book
The Today Show co-host, Sheinelle Jones, is still missing from the morning talk show amid her book postponement. She has been a part of the hit show since 2014, so when she is not there, viewers know and wonder if she is okay. So, what is her status, and when will she be back? Keep reading for more details.
Sheinelle Jones Still Missing From Today
Prior to the 2024 Christmas holiday, Sheinelle Jones had been absent from her co-hosting duties on Today. She soon revealed that it was a personal “family health matter” that she was dealing with. Therefore, her not being on the morning talk show made all the more sense. Unfortunately, Sheinelle has kept to herself since January and has not offered any further updates. Her social media absence has been deafening and fans are worried as to how serious this matter is. Not only has Sheinelle been gone from the show, but she has also delayed her highly anticipated book, Through Mom’s Eyes: Simple Wisdom From Mothers Who Raised Extraordinary Humans.
It was scheduled to come out on April 15th, 2025. However, it has since been pushed back to October 21st, 2025, according to her publishing house. The book is deeply personal, Sheinelle shared, and revealed the deep meaning behind it was:
“If you are a mom, a grandma, an auntie, a big sister, a cousin, if you take care of any children, and I say children ages 0 to even 62, because mothering never stops, this is my love letter to you.”
Again, it has not been addressed why the book is being delayed by six months, but it likely has to do with Sheinelle’s personal issues.

Today Show fans have taken to social media to express how much they miss Sheinelle and want her to come back. If anything, they have just been hopeful for an update on her situation:
- Still praying! Wish we could hear an update!!!??? Are you PLANNING ON COMING BACK?? It’s not the same without you❤️
- Where are you??? We miss you so much!
A New Chapter
Aside from Sheinelle Jones’ book being on ice, her next chapter at Today has also been put on hold. She was set to replace Hoda Kotb alongside Jenna Bush Hager, per an insider. Jenna has been rotating co-hosts since Hoda’s exit on the newly rebranded Jenna & Friends. Sheinelle has done so well on the morning talk show that it only made sense to have her join Jenna in a pivotal role:
“Sheinelle is perfect for the position because she’s a seasoned professional.”
Since it has been around three months since Sheinelle Jones was in the studio, this is somewhat concerning. Add in that she postponed her book, and something is amiss. Fans are hopeful she will come back sooner rather than later. If not, they would at least like her to put out a statement simply so they know she’s okay. That is the greatest concern.
