Today host Sarah Abo announces departure from Nine network

Sarah Abo has announced she will conclude her time as co-host of Today and depart the network at the end of this year.

The beloved host, 39, who is currently on maternity leave, will leave to pursue other opportunities.

“Words can’t express how grateful I am to our viewers for letting me into your homes to be part of your morning routine,” said Abo, in a statement released on Wednesday.

“Without you, there is no Today show.”

Abo, who has been a permanent co-host of the Today show since 2023, joined the Nine Network as a reporter for 60 Minutes in 2019.

“Together with 60 Minutes, I’ve spent my time at Nine chasing stories, travelling and reporting from all over the world, interviewing some incredible and inspiring people from all walks of life,” the host continued.

“Becoming a mum has heralded a new chapter and sharing that with our audience has been truly special. As many of you know, this has been a significant journey for my family and will continue to be my greatest achievement.

“I’d like to thank the wider Today team – the amazing crew, incredible producers and my wonderful fellow hosts – you all know how much you mean to me.

“It takes a special kind of crazy to wake up at the hours we do but it’s so much easier when the team feels like family. I’ll miss you all dearly.”

Sarah Abo officially made her debut as the permanent co-host of the Today show on January 16, 2023.

Her new role was announced by the Nine Network in late November 2022, replacing Allison Langdon who moved over to host A Current Affair.

An announcement regarding the Today line-up for 2027 will be made soon.

Abo and her husband of more than a decade, Cyrus Moran, welcomed their baby boy Sonny in July 2026. The co-host departed the program early to go on maternity leave.

In August 2026, Sonny made his Today show debut when Abo brought him into the studio to meet the rest of the team.
