Paula Faris Is Leaving 'The View' and 'Good Morning America' for Another Role at ABC
Paula Faris is leaving both her jobs at Good Morning America and The View - and is opening up about the professional and personal reasons behind her decision.
The journalist had been juggling several positions: Good Morning America’s weekend anchor, ABC correspondent, and The View co-host. Now, she’ll focus on one job, handling breaking news and reporting at ABC News. According to the network, she’ll also start a podcast focusing on faith and what unites people in trying times.
Faris told People she had a wake-up call about her health this past year, and it made her rethink her career.
“What kicked it off is that I had a really tough miscarriage,” she told the magazine. “I feel like it was in that moment that really repositioned my priority compass and our family’s priority compass. I realized that my kids need me in the stands and on the sidelines, my husband and I need that time to reconnect.”
The mother of three tweeted Wednesday she was “excited/grateful for the opportunity to cover big stories and talk to the people at the center of them.” And though she said she’ll miss her colleagues, she “won’t miss that 3 a.m. wake up on weekends!”
Excited/grateful for the opportunity to cover big stories & talk to the people at the center of them. Thank you to the gracious teams at @GMA Sat./Sun. and @TheView Not going far but I’ll miss you. However, I won’t miss that 3am wake up on weekends! ;) https://t.co/TlWagcRjpS
