CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker stepped down from his position and resigned from the global news network reportedly on account of an undisclosed romantic relationship with a colleague. Zucker, 56, submitted a memo to the team where he admitted that he was "wrong" in not disclosing his relationship to the management, which is a mandatory protocol. The romance came to light during an internal investigation into Chris Cuomo, who was fired last year. 

Jeff Zucker was previously married to Caryn Zucker. He had a consensual relationship with a senior executive at CNN for the past few years. As part of the Chris Cuomo probe, Zucker was inquired about his alleged romance with the executive, when he revealed that their relationship "evolved in the recent years." Zucker did not disclose her identity, but CNN identified her as Allison Gollust. He said that he has been working with the person for the past two decades. "I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn't. I was wrong. As a result, I am resigning today," he said.

Who is Jeff Zucker's ex-wife?

Caryn and Zucker met while the two were working at NBC. They married at the Pierre Hotel in 1996. While he was the executive producer of 'The Today Show' at the time, and Caryn was a supervisor on 'Saturday Night Live'. The Zuckers have four children together. 

The former pair split in 2018 after 21 years of marriage. The couple  “It can’t be easy being married to Jeff — he is a workaholic, and is obsessed with news, and obsessed with being the best. Caryn is much more laid back and social, spends a lot of time with their kids and enjoys being part of the Upper East Side social circuit," a source had told Page Six. "They’ve had their problems over the years. Things have been bad for 10 years, but they have now accepted their marriage is over, and he has moved out of their apartment.”

Jeff and Caryn said to the publication in a joint statement, “Together, we have made the difficult decision to separate, but do so as friends committed to our kids. They remain our sole focus.”

Caryn, born Caryn Stephnie Nathanson, was born and raised by her parents in Melbourne. Her net worth is estimated to be between $1 million and $5 million, including her assets, money, and income. However, little information is available online about Caryn's life, including her education and family.
