Rahel Solomon, a CNN news anchor, announced her departure from the network during a live broadcast on March 23. This comes just a year after she was named anchor of the 5 a.m. show and a few months after returning from maternity leave. She and her husband, Marcel S. Pratt, who she married in 2024, welcomed their first child in 2025. Solomon's roots include Ethiopia, Sudan, and her two younger brothers, Samson and Abel. Her wedding was held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and a traditional American ceremony.
