The update came after a social media user wrote to Faulkner asking why she was missing from Fox.

The viewer posted, “Where have you been? We miss you on Fox.”

Faulkner replied with a short message and a family update.

“So thankful to you for asking,” she wrote.

“Parent college tour time -second child. God is good”

“Back very soon.”

Her post made clear the time away was tied to family and not anything more serious.

The anchor said she was busy with a college tour for her second child and signaled that her break would not last long.

Faulkner is the mother of two daughters, Bella and Danika, whom she shares with her husband, Tony Berlin.

Bella is 18 and attending Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona, and Danika is 15.

The Fox News host has spoken about college plans for Bella, who had her move-in day to GCU in August 2025, per Faulkner’s Instagram.

Faulkner told the Daily Mail at the time that she had been thinking hard about the challenges her daughters could face as biracial young women.

The Fox star noted that her most important concern is that she wants Bella “to be safe,” adding that her eldest daughter “knows who she is” and is “remarkably confident.”

“She wants to study early childhood education, and with a specialty in children who are challenged and need extra love and support,” she told the outlet.

Faulkner and Berlin have also raised their daughters in an interfaith home, with Faulkner identifying as a Baptist Christian and Berlin as Jewish.

In that interview, Faulkner said she worries about racial and political tensions as Bella prepares for campus life.

“I really think it’s important for Jewish children on campuses to know that they have partners, that the hate on the campus is a microcosm compared with the love that’s out there.”
