ESPN sideline reporter Samantha Ponder announced Thursday that she is hanging up her sideline “flats” to spend more time with her husband, Christian Ponder, and daughter, Scout.

Don’t be too sad, however, because Ponder will still appear on College Football Live, SportsCenter and College GameDay.

Here’s what Ponder wrote on her Instagram page:

Took this picture during halftime of an ASU/WSU game 2 years ago because an hour before game time I found out I was pregnant with Scout. It was the most nervous I've ever been doing a game because I couldn't stop thinking about how my life was about to change. All that to say, I decided to hang up my sideline reporter… uh… flats(?) so that I can spend more time investing in my husband, daughter and new dreams. Taking Scout away from her dad 5 days a week was incredibly difficult for me and Christian but I wanted to honor the commitment I made. Thank you to everyone w/Thursday Night Football & everyone at every school we covered who treated me with respect and kindness. I will never forget the last 4 years of games and more importantly, relationships. I will still be annoying you all day Friday & Saturday on CFBLive, Sportscenter & College Gameday. Thanks for all your support in this exciting new time for me and my family. ❤️
