Heartbreaking News about Dr. Jennifer Ashton’s Ex-Husband – Longtime GMA Health Expert!
The Good Morning America family and its fans are saying goodbye to one of their longtime favorites: Dr. Jennifer Ashton.
Following her announcement in April that she would be leaving ABC after 13 years with the network, the chief health and medical editor and chief medical correspondent officially bid farewell to her post as GMA3: What You Need To Know co-anchor on Thursday, June 27.
The year and a half leading up to her departure was a tricky one, as in November 2022, she lost not one but both of her co-anchors, when Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes parted ways with ABC following news of their relationship, and it wasn’t until six months later and a revolving door of temporary hosts that Eva Pilgrim and DeMarco Morgan were confirmed as her new co-anchors.
Ahead of her emotional last day, Dr. Jennifer, 55, appeared on The View on Tuesday, and opened up about what she’s most looking forward to about her “next chapter.”
Asked by host Sara Haines how she’s feeling, the ABC mainstay joked: “Tired!” before sharing: “You know, I’m excited about the next stage, I’m really focusing on what I’m board-certified in, which is women’s health and obesity medicine and nutrition.”
She further reflected: “I’ve been here 13 plus years,” revealing that last year alone she was on the air a whopping 805 times, and that she’s “looking forward to sleeping past four or five in the morning a little bit.”
