National correspondent Suzanne Malveaux announced Friday she is leaving CNN, The Hill has learned.
Malveaux, who is the longtime partner of current White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, the first openly gay person to hold the position, spent two decades working for the cable news leader.
In a note to her CNN colleagues announcing her decision to leave the network, Malveaux said she would be working with the family of Nelson Mandela on a project that will “tell stories and spotlight communities in conflict poised to find peace.”
“I am grateful that when I approached CNN in the fall of 2022 about focusing on my family and possibly pursuing some new opportunities, they supported me,” Malveaux wrote in her note, a copy of which was seen by The Hill. “I will forever cherish the talented, dedicated professionals of CNN who I grew up with over the past two decades, those I mentored, and many who have become dear friends.”
Malveaux most recently covered the war in Ukraine for CNN and worked at NBC before joining CNN in 2002.
