Jessica Tarlov is a prominent political consultant, known as the co-host on The Five since 2017. She is a strategist for the Democratic Party and calls herself the defender of Democrats, as per her bio on X (formerly Twitter). Recently, there were rumors about Tarlov’s firing from Fox News.

So, let’s find out if Tarlov is still on Fox News’ The Five.

Was Jessica Tarlov fired from Fox News’ The Five?

No, Jessica Tarlov was not fired from Fox News’ The Five, but she took a maternity leave for a few months.

Earlier this year, Tarlov’s co-hosts announced on the show on April 15 that she gave birth to her second daughter Teddy on April 11, 2024. Following this, Tarlov took a maternity leave for a few months to take care of her newborn daughter.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Tarlov wrote, “Cleo hasn’t even seen Home Alone…having a baby sister must just have her in the ‘oh no!’ mood! We’re thrilled to add Teddy to the crew. Will be on maternity leave for next few months so to the haters and the losers, enjoy the break! I know I will with my girls.”

The rumors of Jessica’s firing from Fox News came earlier in February 2024, when a user on X shared a post saying the host was “released by FOX.” However, a confirmation about the rumor being false came soon after.
