Gayle King spotted leaving her NYC home hours after bombshell report saying she’s exiting ‘CBS Mornings’

Gayle King was spotted leaving her New York City apartment first thing Friday — just hours after reports emerged she was set to leave “CBS Mornings” after more than a decade.

The news anchor donned huge sunglasses as she emerged from her Upper West Side building before sunrise, The Post’s exclusive photos show.

The 70-year-old, who could be seen clutching her phone and a brown paper bag, emerged hours before she appeared on the air Friday morning — making no mention of her own news as she opened the show.

The sighting came after sources told Variety late Thursday that King — who joined CBS News as a morning show host in 2011 — was eying stepping down from her current hosting gig amid a major overhaul under the network’s new Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss.

“There have been no discussions with Gayle about her contract that runs through May 2026,” a CBS spokesperson told The Post following the surprising news of King’s potential departure.

“She’s a truly valued part of CBS and we look forward to engaging with her about the future.”
