In a separate video on her Facebook page, Jill added, "I’ve decided to take a leap of faith and go chase some things so that I don’t look back one day and say 'I always wish I would’ve done this' or 'I always wanted to do that.'"

Though followers were crushed to hear about her impending exit, they offered up their support in the comments section. 

"Jill, this was so hard to hear," one fan wrote. "I look forward to seeing you on all your shows and I will miss you. You are the girl next door, the sister I always wanted, the sweet and lovely friend. Thank you again and I want only blessings for you."

Another loyal viewer shared, "I’m so glad you are following your heart. It’s so important we do so while we are here. Your class, professionalism, expertise, and down to earth and relatable personality will be greatly missed!"

The California native has been married to Doug Dunne since Oct. 18, 2003. The pair welcomed son Trevor in May 2005 and Jill is also stepmom to Doug’s daughter Kylie from a previous marriage. 

She frequently talks about the close bond she shares with her stepdaughter, who started college at the University of Missouri last fall. "Proof that you don’t have to birth a child to call her your own. This is my valentine from my daughter Kylie," Jill wrote next to a piece of paper that lists all the things Kylie loves about the host.

We’ll certainly miss Jill’s optimism but know that she’s destined to do great things in the future. If only we had paid more attention to her Broccoli Bacon Cheesy Quiche recipe…
