Meredith Vieira will reportedly leave the “Today” show in June.

Current newsreader Ann Curry is set to replace Vieira as Matt Lauer‘s co-host, and Natalie Morales would be elevated to newsreader, according to THR.

NBC would not respond to Gossip Cop‘s request for comment.

The show is currently in London for tomorrow’s royal wedding.

Vieira’s exit from “Today” has been rumored for some time, with multiple reports citing the show’s brutal schedule and the host’s desire to spend more time with her husband, Richard Cohen, who suffers from multiple sclerosis.

She took over from Katie Couric in 2006.

Her contract does not expire until after the summer.
