The mother of three released a statement that read: "Oftentimes, the most difficult decisions are between two great things. Throughout my 14 years working in television, I have never experienced a more positive and thoughtful atmosphere than FOX News Channel, thanks to the strong leadership of (FOX News Chairman & CEO) Roger Ailes, who has created the best working environment a woman and mother could ask for," Hasselbeck said.

She added that her boss was "understanding, compassionate, and kindness were exemplified when I shared with him that I am entering into a season where I want to start my day with my children first, and he offered his blessing to do so. With a heart full of gratitude and the peace that God has given me, I am confident that this personal decision is the right one for our family, and we will be joining all of you watching Fox & Friends each morning as we get ready for school together."

The TV star and her husband, Tim, have one daughter Grace, 10, and two sons Taylor, 8, and Isaiah, 6. The Hasselbecks were college sweethearts and married in 2002. Tim is a former quarterback for the New York Giants. He currently is an analyst for ESPN.

Hasselbeck started Fox and Friends in 2013 after leaving The View.
