Jess Cagle, a mainstay of People magazine, is stepping down as editor in chief of the entertainment publication at the end of March, he said Wednesday.
“I’ve decided it’s time to do some other things while I’m still young—or at least alive,” Cagle wrote in a memo he sent to People staff. “It’s also time for me to live in Los Angeles full-time under the same roof as my husband and dog.”
The longtime magazine editor, who is exiting as his contract expires, will also step down as editorial director of the company’s Entertainment Group, which includes Entertainment Weekly, where Cagle worked for around 15 years, and People en Español.
Cagle’s last issue of People will be the April 8 issue.
