Has Jonathan Roumie posted an official statement about departing GMA on social media?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
No reporting in the documents provided shows that Jonathan Roumie has posted an “official statement” on social media announcing that he is departing Good Morning America (GMA); available sources record his appearance on GMA3 and list his official social channels but contain no record of a departure statement [1] [2] [3]. The reporting does show Roumie actively uses social media for faith- and career-related outreach, and separately documents rumors about his status on The Chosen, but none of the supplied items include an explicit social-media departure announcement regarding GMA [4] [5] [6].
1. GMA appearances documented — no departure statement in the coverage
Video coverage and program listings confirm Roumie appeared on Good Morning America’s GMA3 to talk about his role in The Chosen, as reflected in ABC/Good Morning America’s online clips and descriptions [1] [2]. Those program pages present him as a guest discussing the series but do not include or link to any social-media post in which Roumie announces leaving GMA, and the clips themselves are guest-appearance segments rather than personal social-media statements [1] [2].
2. Official social accounts exist — provided sources list the channels but not the claimed post
Two separate sources enumerate Roumie’s official web presence: his official site and a curated “official links” page list his website and social handles (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X) as the only official accounts for the actor [7] [3]. Those pages serve as the authoritative pointer to where an “official statement” would most likely appear, yet the supplied extracts from those pages do not include or reproduce any post announcing a departure from GMA [7] [3].
3. Roumie’s active social-media use and public messaging are documented, but in different contexts
Reporting in the Catholic press and related outlets documents Roumie using social media as a platform for ministry, livestream prayer, and faith outreach, demonstrating he is an engaged social-media communicator who posts messages to followers [4] [5]. That pattern makes it plausible he would use those accounts for major personal announcements, but the reports provided describe faith-focused messaging and event remarks rather than a GMA-departure statement, and therefore do not substantiate the specific claim [4] [5].
4. Confusion from unrelated departure rumors about The Chosen underscores why claims need direct sourcing
Separate media coverage addressed fan-driven rumors that Roumie might be leaving the television series The Chosen, tracing the spread of those rumors through Facebook accounts and YouTube channels and explicitly refuting the departure claims for the series [6]. That episode illustrates how viral speculation about an actor’s career can circulate without an official post; however, the rumors and their debunking concern The Chosen, not a GMA departure, and the supplied reporting does not conflate the two but also does not supply evidence of any GMA-related statement [6].
5. Conclusion and reporting limitations
Based on the documents provided, there is no evidence that Jonathan Roumie has posted an official social-media statement announcing he is departing GMA: the sources confirm a GMA3 guest appearance [1] [2], list his official social channels where such a statement would appear [7] [3], and show he uses those platforms for faith and career messaging [4] [5], yet none of the supplied items contain or cite the claimed departure post. This analysis is limited to the set of reports and pages provided; absence of evidence in these sources is not definitive proof that no such social-media post exists outside this corpus, and verifying the claim conclusively would require direct inspection of the listed official social accounts or further primary-source reporting.
