Dylan married Brian Fichera on October 6, 2012. They have three sons, Calvin (born December 17, 2016), Oliver (born January 2, 2020), and Russell (born September 29, 2021). Russell was born six weeks before Dylan's due date, weighing five pounds, five ounces, and he spent a week in the neonatal intensive care unit.
In November 2021, Dreyer spoke to her "Today" colleagues about raising three young sons, stating, "Brian and I have gotten onto shifts. I sleep from nine to midnight, and Brian sleeps from one to six…I mean, it's the only way we're kind of doing it right now, because three kids is no joke." When Dylan and Brian were trying to have a second child, Dreyer suffered a miscarriage and was later diagnosed with secondary infertility. She also had an "unusual amount of scarring" due to undergoing an emergency C-section when Calvin was born and had surgery to remove some of the scarring. The couple decided to try in vitro fertilization (IVF), but just before she was set to begin, her doctor called to tell her she was pregnant.

Dylan and Brian own an apartment in New York City and a seafront vacation home on Long Island's North Shore. They paid $845,000 for their NYC apartment in May 2016. Today it's worth around $1 million. They bought their North Shore home in May 2021 for $2.5 million. The 3,600-square-foot home is located right on the water in Point Lookout, New York.
