"This show has been such an incredible part of my life for the last seven years and what a ride it has been filming from being pregnant with Sunday to now. Your support and loyalty to me and my family has, at times, lifted me more than you will ever know. Thank you," she wrote.
"This decision hasn't been an easy one 💔 but it feels like now is the right time for a change. I made this decision with my children (especially Sunday who has been on this full journey with me) in mind.
"They are my absolute priority and Sunday is now at an age where she is very much her own little person and I want her to go out there and take her own path," the star added.
