It’s only been just more than a month since Megyn Kelly‘s tumultuous Today show exit but the 48-year-old TV star is seemingly doing just fine. On the morning of Friday, Dec. 7, Megyn was spotted taking her two youngest kids, daughter Yardley Evans Brunt, 7, and son Thatcher Bray Brunt, 5, to school in NYC and the new pics of the trio are super cute.

Though Megyn is now allegedly looking to make her next career move, the mom-of-three — she also shares nine-year-old son Edward Yates Brunt with husband Douglas Brunt — once candidly opened up about the hardships of being a working mother. “We set the expectations too high for new mothers. I’m always telling women, ‘Don’t expect to not hate it. You’re going to feel and look terrible, and you’re going to wonder if you blew up your life. The cruel irony of it is, just at the time you’re loving it and you’ve got it down, you have to go back to work,'” Megyn said in a 2016 interview with Glamour.

“I did worry in the beginning, especially when I only had one kid, about whether I was a good mom, whether I was abandoning my duties,” Megyn continued. “[Now], I see them thriving; our loving relationship is more than intact. There’s no more of that, ‘Am I going to screw them up?’ I’m not.”

About a year ago — prior to her NBC exit — it was reported that Megyn actually decided to leave her previous job at Fox News and join the Today show team so she could spend more time with her three kids.

“Two of my kids were in school during the exact hours that I was at home. They would get back at 3:30 p.m. just as I’d be leaving to do The Kelly File. I hadn’t tucked them into bed on a weeknight in three years,” Megyn told People. “It was time to do a gut check, to make sure I was happy and doing what I’m supposed to. The answer was clearly no. It was time to make a change.”

“I feel less stressed and less distant from the things that matter to me — my husband and my children. My life. This job change has been a way of taking better care of myself. Settling for more means being with my kids more,” Megyn continued.

“You have to be honest with yourself, even if there is some fear in making a change. Accolades or awards are meaningless unless you feel connected to the people who mean something to you — especially your children,” she shared. “I’m the one who tucks them in, which is worth more to me than any money, any job, any power.”

Just more than a year after she started working for Today, Megyn was forced out of NBC after questioning why blackface Halloween costumes are “racist” during an on-air Megyn Kelly Today panel discussion.

Since her departure, Closer Weekly has exclusively reported that the Today show staffers actually view Megyn’s exit as a “blessing.” A source close to the situation explained, “The production staff has been much happier and there is a lot less tension.”
