Rob Marciano shared a big announcement earlier in the week, revealing that he would be stepping away from Good Morning America in some capacity.
However, it isn't a "goodbye" for the 55-year-old meteorologist, as he'll simply be departing his role with providing forecasts for GMA Weekends and will instead focus more of his efforts on doing so over the weekdays. New GMA meteorologist Somara Theodore is officially leading forecasts on the weekends.
Rob contributes frequently to the forecasts on the morning news show GMA as well as to other ABC News reports airing across different times and platforms.
While celebrating the start of his milestone tenth year with the network, Rob alongside an Instagram headshot: "This month marks the start of my 10th year with ABC News, and I couldn't be more pumped to continue this journey with all of you.
"I always dreamed of working for this network as a kid, and my children are equally psyched that I will now be home most weekends!" Rob shares son Mason, five, and daughter Madelynn, 11, with estranged wife Eryn. The two announced last year that they had filed for divorce.
Rob's statement continued: "I'll continue doing what I'm doing, contributing across all shows and platforms Mon-Fri, while getting more quality time with my kiddos.
"My thanks to the bosses who listened and made this work-life balance possible," he added, teasing: "I'm also grateful for an exciting new project with NatGeo that has me exploring some very very cool stuff… more to come!"
His ABC News colleagues shared their support for his new adventure, with Gio Benitez sharing a series of raised hands, and former GMA co-host Cecilia Vega writing: "Yesssssss."
