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 work with the family of Nelson Mandela on a project spotlighting stories of reconciliation and peace, the Washington Post reported.

“After 20 years of delivering groundbreaking stories for the audiences of CNN, I’ve made the heartfelt decision to put myself and my family first and to pursue my long-desired professional passions: using storytelling to promote wellness, resiliency and social justice,” Malveaux said in her note. “I will forever be grateful for the opportunities CNN afforded me.”

Malveaux most recently covered the war in Ukraine for CNN and worked at NBC before joining CNN in 2002.
