Faris is now a journalist for ABC News, after appearing onGood Morning AmericaandThe Viewbefore her departure from both shows in August 2018.
“I’m excited to get my life back,” shetold PEOPLE the previous month. “I have three kids and working atGMA WeekendandThe Viewhas been awesome, but I’m so excited to not go to bed at 8:30 or 9 p.m. on a Friday or Saturday night because my alarm would go off for work at 3:30 a.m. every Saturday and Sunday morning.”
Faris added that after going through a “rough year health-wise” she knew it was time to make a change.
“What kicked it off is that Ihad a really tough miscarriage,” she said. “I feel like it was in that moment that really re-positioned 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.”
