During her 13 year career at Fox, Megyn Kelly became one of the biggest names in television, but the longtime host stays she was missing one major thing: her family.
“Two of my kids were in school during the exact hours that I was at home,” she says in the latest issue of PEOPLE “They would get back at 3:30 p.m. just as I’d be leaving to do The Kelly File. I hadn’t tucked them into bed on a weeknight in three years.”
With her contract nearing its end in 2016, Kelly weighed her options and decided to leave the network.
“It was time to do a gut check, to make sure I was happy and doing what I’m supposed to,” she says. “The answer was clearly no. It was time to make a change.”
