Where Are the Former Cohosts of ‘The Talk’ Now?
After three years on The Talk, Eve says she’s leaving the CBS daytime talk show this December, telling viewers that she’s been on lockdown in London and focusing on expanding her family.
“I have had the most beautiful experience,” she told her cohosts. “I’ve grown as a woman, as a person. I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, I never thought that being on a talk show would be this much of an opening of my spirit, soul, personality, everything. Sitting on stage with all you women has been the best thing ever. I truly love you.”
