‘Fox News has parted ways with Kimberly Guilfoyle,’ said a Fox News spokesperson.

Fox News announced that Kimberly Guilfoyle is no longer working for the network on Friday afternoon with a very blunt and concise statement.

At the same time, a source tells DailyMail.coim that Guilfoyle will not be appearing in The Five and given the chance to say goodbye after 12 years with the network.

She will instead be replaced by Katie Pavlich, who is filling in for Guilfoyle on Friday.

Family first: Kimberly Guilfoyle, 49, is reportedly stepping down from her job hosting The Five on Fox News after joining the network in February 2006 (Guilfoyle and Don Jr.in Monaco last week)

Guilfoyle will reportedly take a job with the America First PAC, though it is unclear if this is a permanent move or just a leave of absence from Fox News (Guilfoyle and Don Jr with President Trump in June)

Huff Post had reported earlier in the day that three sources claimed Guilfoyle was not leaving the cable news network ‘voluntarily,’ and that her team was busy working out the details of her separation package on Friday.

Sources close to both Guilfoyle and her boyfriend Donald Trump Jr denied those claims at the time, saying it was her choice to exit Fox News and begin a new job at America First.

There has been complete silence from Guilfoyle herself and Don Jr.

Vanity Fair writer Gabirel Sherman first posted the news to Twitter on Friday, writing: ‘Per 3 sources briefed on matter, Don Jr’s girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle is leaving Fox News. More details TK.’

Most importantly, Guilfoyle said, is the fact that Donald Jr is a man of the people.

‘He actually puts the time in and the effort to understand the base, because he is the base,’ said the Fox News host.

‘He gets out there and actually talks to the real people, the men and women who have been left behind in this country.’

There is a chance that Donald Trump Jr could in fact get himself on the ballot for the election this November.

The seventh district of New York, which encompasses parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan, has no Republican set to run in the race for a seat in the US House of Representatives.

The political calendar released by the New York State Board of Elections reveals that a vacancy can be filled in a race up until September 19, and since no Republicans ran in the primary that spot could be open for Don Jr.

Former five: Guilfoyle called Don Jr ‘the number one up-and-coming political figure on the right,’ and said that he ‘is the base’

And Guilfoyle is very good on the campaign trail, as Newsom learned almost 20 years ago when he won his race for mayor.

She continued to support him during his time in office too, with appearances on a number of high-profile progams.

In fact, her remarks about Donald Jr. were incredibly similar to ones she made back in 2004 about Newsom during an appearance on Charlie Rose.

‘He was very much interested in public service and had a keen mind just in term of the political issues of the time,’ said Guilfoyle.

‘I knew that he had the vision, the discipline and, as it turns out, the courage to be in politics and to do the right thing so I’m really happy it worked out.’

That interview quickly turned into a counseling session however, with the pair discussing their bi-coastal lifestyles and the fact that they barely saw one another due to their careers.

Two years later they were divorced.

Don Jr and his wife Vanessa are currently in the process of divorcing. The couple has five children, and Guilfoyle has an 11-year-old son from her second marriage to Eric Villency.

A source with direct knowledge of Guilfoyle’s situation told DailyMail.com that she wasn’t fired, and hinted that her departure from Fox News has been in the works for months.
