Why Sheinelle Jones Has Been So Candid About Her Grief After Uche Ojeh’s Death
Sheinelle Jones kicked her morning off with a heartwarming celebration.
The Today With Jenna & Sheinelle host commemorated the 14th birthday of her and late husband Uche Ojeh’s twins Clara and Uche with a collection of throwback pictures and a touching message.
“14 years ago today … our lives were forever changed,” Jones wrote on Instagram July 10 alongside a picture from when she was pregnant. “A two for one special!”
The journalist—also mom to 16-year-old Kayin—included a range of pics from throughout her kids’ childhood, from when they were born until today.
“I remember placing the twins at the foot of my hospital bed… staring at them in awe … in their little onesies,” the 48-year-old continued. “In the 5th picture, my husband had native wear made for their baby dedication at church; in the 9th pic... I remember their pre school graduation just like it was yesterday.”
Despite living so much life together, the Through Mom’s Eyes author admitted she can’t believe she already has three high school-aged kids.
“I am so thankful to be their mom … clearly,” she added. “I even wrote a book about it.”
And with a heartfelt reminder, she concluded, “All 3 of my children will always be my babies …. no matter how big they get!”

While Jones was eager to celebrate her twins on their birthday, she recently admitted that she’s made an effort to protect her kids following the death of their dad, who died in May 2025 following a battle with brain cancer.
“The truth of the matter is, honestly, I’m a mama bear, a mama lion,” she said on Today With Jenna & Sheinelle in April. “I’m very protective of them, so the pictures over the last year and a half that I’ve released or we show, they’re little.”

However, after her kids surprised her on the show to celebrate the launch of her book, Jones accepted that they’re turning into young adults.
“So yesterday when they walked out, it was like, ‘Oh!’ And even for me, it was like, ‘Look at these boys. They’re turning into young men,’” she continued. “And Clara was so sweet. It was just one of the most special moments of my life.”
