Hey there, folks! Let's talk about one of the busiest parts of parenting—bathtime. Dylan Dreyer, the vibrant Today show host, has some serious game when it comes to tackling this nightly challenge. If you're wondering how she manages to bathe her three little bundles of energy, Calvin, Oliver, and Russell, in her bustling NYC home, you're about to get an insider’s peek.
A Multitasking Mom's Bathtime Strategy
Dylan, who's 42 and counting, isn't shy about sharing her tricks of the trade. She lets us in on how she efficiently navigates the nighttime routines with her trio of boys. "I usually try to get all three of them in the shower with me," she confessed. It's a method that's not only time-saving but also a bonding moment for the family. But as kids grow, routines evolve, and Dylan is the first to admit that this method isn't as straightforward as it used to be.
Growing Up and Growing Apart
As her kids grow older, Dylan has noticed changes in their preferences and comfort levels. "It's getting a little weird now that my oldest is 7," she explained to The Daily Mail on March 18. "So, he doesn't do the shower thing anymore. Instead, he'll be in the bath while I take a shower." Dylan ensures everyone stays comfortable by moving quickly and keeping things light. "I put the towel on pretty quickly—I don’t linger," she said with a laugh, emphasizing her practical approach to this family tradition.

But what about the younger ones? "The other two have no idea what's going on, so they don’t care," Dylan added. "They’ll run around naked all day long. I think they're just so proud of their bodies and their parts—they love it!" It's clear that Dylan embraces her kids' natural curiosity and confidence, fostering an environment where they feel comfortable in their own skin.
Family Traditions: A Star-Studded Perspective
Interestingly, Dylan’s comments come on the heels of Bradley Cooper's candid admission on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast. Bradley revealed that he used to "take showers" with his dad growing up, and his family was "naked all the time" when he was younger. This sparked a lively discussion among other celebrities, including The View's Sara Haines.
Sara, 46, shared her perspective on the topic during an episode of The View on March 1. "I do not enjoy walking around naked," she admitted. "I come from a generation where I’m still learning to love my body naked. I’m not naked very often." It's fascinating to see how different celebrities approach the concept of nudity and family traditions, reflecting their unique family dynamics and personal comfort levels.
Dylan, who shares her kids Alec, Sandra, and Caleb with her husband Max Shifrin, has made a conscious effort to instill body positivity in her children. "I do not cover myself up immediately between the shower and my lotions when my kids come running in," she said. "I've made a deliberate effort for them not to feel shamed of their bodies and to remind them that it's science." It's this thoughtful approach that makes her parenting style both relatable and inspiring.
Similarly, Dylan explained that her kids, whom she shares with husband Brian Fichera, "don’t care" about seeing her naked around the house. "It’s funny because I’m also a very efficient mom," she admitted. "So, when I have to shower at night, if I can get all three in the shower with me so I can get everybody bathed at once, we’re good to go!" Dylan's method isn't just about efficiency—it's about creating a warm, loving environment where her kids feel safe and accepted.
