Maria Bartiromo has broken her silence one week after Fox News Media announced the end of her 12Ā½-year run at the company, thanking supporters and signaling that she plans to return with another professional move.
The veteran financial journalist addressed followers on Thursday, September 10, one day before her 59th birthday. Her first public messages since the announcement did not explain why her relationship with Fox ended, but they offered the clearest indication yet that she intends to remain active in media.
On X, Bartiromo thanked friends and followers for the support she had received through social media and text messages. She shared a photograph of a rainbow breaking through clouds and ended her message with three words that quickly drew attention: āMore to come.ā
š§µ This may be one of the most important media stories youāll ever see. Too many conservatives assume Fox News speaks for Trump and MAGA.

Bartiromo signals another chapter without revealing her plans
Bartiromo shared a similar message on Instagram, thanking friends, followers and supporters for their kind words. She also indicated that she would be āback soonā with her ānext moves.ā The post included personal images of flowers, a beach sunset and her dog, Dusty.
Neither post identified a new television network, show, podcast or independent media venture. That is an important distinction for viewers following the story: Bartiromo has hinted at a return, but her next destination remains unconfirmed.
The update follows the initial Fox News announcement about Maria Bartiromo’s departure, which immediately raised questions about her future and the programs she had hosted.
Fox confirmed the separation on September 3
Fox News Media announced on September 3 that Bartiromo was no longer with the company, effective that day. In its official statement on Bartiromo’s departure, the company thanked her for 12Ā½ years of work and wished her well in her next chapter.
Fox did not provide a detailed public reason for the decision. Bartiromo had held prominent roles across both Fox Business Network and Fox News Channel, hosting Mornings with Maria, Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street and Sunday Morning Futures.
Her attorney disputes how the exit has been described
A day after Fox’s announcement, Bartiromo’s attorney Bryan Freedman challenged reports describing her departure as a firing or saying she was no longer a Fox employee. He called those characterizations false and said his side had evidence and witnesses supporting its position.
The conflicting statements are central to understanding the story. Fox publicly said Bartiromo was no longer with the company, while her attorney disputed reports about the nature of that separation. Bartiromo’s latest social media messages did not address the disagreement directly.
Earlier reporting on the questions surrounding Bartiromo’s Fox exit examined claims about why she left, but Fox has still not publicly identified a specific reason. Any explanation beyond confirmed statements therefore needs to be treated cautiously.
Fox has already reshaped her former programs
The network moved quickly to change the shows associated with Bartiromo. Mornings with Maria, which occupied the weekday 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. ET slot, became Mornings with FOX Business with rotating anchors.
Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street was renamed FBN’s Wall Street, with Cheryl Casone initially hosting before rotating anchors take over. Fox also named Jason Chaffetz as a temporary host of Sunday Morning Futures and said a permanent host would be announced later.
The changes underline the scale of Bartiromo’s role. Fox is not replacing her on a single program; her departure affects weekday business coverage, a weekly markets show and a Sunday political program.
Trump reacted publicly after the Fox announcement
President Donald Trump was among the public figures who reacted to the news. He praised Bartiromo’s professionalism, described her as a ātrue warriorā and expressed surprise that her Fox programs had ended.
Bartiromo interviewed Trump multiple times during her years at the network and co-moderated two Republican presidential debates during the 2016 election cycle. Her Fox career increasingly combined financial reporting with interviews involving senior political and business figures.
Her financial television career spans decades
Bartiromo joined Fox in 2014 after roughly two decades at CNBC. She had already become one of the best-known figures in American financial television, including through her reporting from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and programs such as Closing Bell and On the Money with Maria Bartiromo.
That long career gives her latest comments greater significance. Unlike an announcement of retirement, Bartiromo’s message points toward continued activity even though she has not disclosed what form it will take.
āMore to comeā puts attention on Bartiromo’s next move
For now, Bartiromo has answered one question without resolving several others. She has publicly acknowledged the support surrounding her departure and indicated that another move is coming, but she has not announced a new employer, launch date or program.
There is also no confirmed announcement of a legal case, political appointment or independent media platform. Until Bartiromo or another authoritative source provides those details, such possibilities remain speculation.
Her āMore to comeā message nevertheless changes the direction of the story. The immediate focus is no longer only on why her Fox tenure ended, but also on when and where one of financial television’s most recognizable journalists will appear next.
