Meanwhile, Banks will continue to pop up on the show a few times a weekΒ through December and will make occasional appearances on the show throughout the season, the news site reports.

β€œI will be devoting more time to my new, growing cosmetics company, TYRA Beauty, which is expanding faster than anticipated, as well as overseeing my company’s other entertainment ventures,” Banks said in a statement. β€œIΒ will, however, continue to support the growth and success ofΒ FABLifeΒ and greatly admire my fellow co-hosts and the talented production team behind the show.”

FABLife represented Banks’ return to daytime television after the Emmy Award-winningΒ The Tyra Banks Show went off the air in 2010 after five seasons.

This summer, Banks said she had not expected to return to television, noting that β€œher life had become too hectic with [The Tyra Banks Show] and America’s Next Top Model running concurrently.”

Good luck with it all, Tyra!
