*Tamron Hall dished with Good Housekeeping ahead of her morning show premiere next week, which comes two years after she left the “Today” show after a decade at NBC
Hall spoke more in-depth with the publication about leaving the show and why it was important to keep her relationship with her husband private while they prepared for their first child.
Hall is over the moon about her comeback to daytime television. She revealed to Good Housekeeping, that she made the decision to not renew her contract with NBC after realizing the network “wanted something else”… and wasn’t her.

“On the outside, it looked like it was all together. “Look at her, she’s walking out, her head up.” My head is never going to be bowed, but I had to pray not to be broken,” she told the publication.
Looking back on the moment, Hall admits leaving the Today show was the best career move.
“I don’t think I’ve ever said this out loud, but every “no” that I received in my life, and there have been many, it’s made sense at some point in time,” she said.
“Even things I prayed to get and “Oh my gosh, I want that job,” and I didn’t get it, I look back and I say, “Whew, thank goodness I didn’t get that.”‘
Hall surprised fans in March when she revealed her pregnancy and confirmed she was married to music executive Steve Greener.
“It’s proof you can keep things private,” Tamron joked with the publication, noting that her hubby is just as private as she is, and has ZERO interest in appearing on her new talk show.
“He wants my show to make it, but he wants our marriage to work and he knows part of that is maintaining this foundation, and him being comfortable with who he is and not pushed into someone he isn’t,” Tamron told Good Housekeeping.
“We’re an interracial couple, we’re both older parents, he’s from the Bronx, I’m from Texas, that alone is a divide.
“We knew we wanted to prepare ourselves for what this exciting journey would bring.”
Tamron’s age and the high-risk pregnancy were reasons why she decided to keep her pregnancy secret until she was ready.
“I said to my doctor, “How much do I tell?” and he said, “You don’t owe anybody your story.” And I said, “Cancer survivors tell their stories,” and he said, “That’s a choice,”‘ Tamron said.
“I decided ultimately to talk about it because I felt like I didn’t have to whip out my medical records, but to say to someone this wasn’t easy, and this is what happened and it wasn’t easy many times, but this is what came to be in this little life,” she added.
The “Tamron Hall Show” premieres Monday, September 9 (check local listings).
