Details of the Marriage and Separation
Gosk and Wolfe, who are parents to two daughters, Harper, 12, and Quinn, 10, had separated in September 2021. Despite their separation, the couple did not file for divorce until now. Gosk has been with NBC News since 2006 and was recently promoted to Senior National Correspondent.

Challenges During the Pandemic
Wolfe has shared insights into the challenges the couple faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Working from home compounded tension as both partners juggled parenting and their careers. Wolfe, a former Fox Sports anchor, reflected on their living situation, stating that the lack of personal space in their Manhattan apartment contributed to their decision to separate.
Health Concerns and Preventative Measures
During this time, Wolfe’s family also faced health challenges. Her mother was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast and lymph node cancer, which prompted Wolfe to undergo genetic testing. She tested positive for the BRCA gene, significantly increasing her cancer risk, leading her to opt for a preventative hysterectomy and double mastectomy.
In April 2023, Wolfe shared her post-surgery journey on Instagram, emphasizing the support from her daughters. Despite their struggles, she stressed their continued friendship and commitment to co-parenting.
