“Not only are we expecting our first child, but my husband’s job is moving us to Italy!” wrote Connell. “We are so incredibly blessed and can’t wait to get started on this new journey. Thank you for being the best viewers I could ever ask for. You have made the past six years here incredibly rewarding; I will miss you all.”
Connell started at WGCL in 2010.
