Did Jonathan Roumie publicly state why he left Good Morning America and when did he announce it?

1. What the sources actually say about Roumie and Good Morning America

The directly relevant items in the record are video and writeups showing Jonathan Roumie appearing on Good Morning America’s GMA3 on March 17, 2025 to discuss his role in the Amazon Prime Video series The Chosen and related projects; these entries describe an interview and promotional appearance but do not include language indicating he was a recurring host or employee who had departed, nor do they quote him explaining a departure ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

2. What is missing from the reporting: no exit statement found

Across the supplied links and snippets there is no quote, press release, social-post archive, or journalist account in which Roumie states why he left Good Morning America, or when he announced leaving; that absence means the claim that he "left GMA" and provided reasons is unsupported by the provided materials rather than disproven—reporting simply does not document any such announcement or statement ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

3. Context on Roumie’s public profile and why the gap matters

Jonathan Roumie is a high-profile actor known for portraying Jesus in The Chosen, and major outlets have profiled him, which makes an unreported departure from a national morning show notable if it had occurred; the New York Times long-form profile and other bios underline his visibility, suggesting that an exit announcement would likely have been covered more broadly if publicly stated—yet the items provided here focus on promotional appearances and career background without an exit narrative ^{[4] [5]}.

4. Plausible explanations and alternative interpretations (based on absence of evidence)

Because the supplied coverage documents a promotional GMA appearance rather than a staff relationship, it is plausible that references to Roumie "leaving Good Morning America" stem from misinterpretation of a single guest appearance, social-media chatter, or reporting outside the supplied set; none of the provided sources attribute a staff role to him or record a formal announcement of departure, so alternative explanations—such as confusion between guest appearances and employment—remain viable in the absence of primary evidence ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

5. How to confirm further: what reporting would prove otherwise

To establish definitively that Roumie publicly stated why he left and when he announced it would require locating a primary source: a direct statement from Roumie (video, social post, or interview) in which he says he left GMA and explains why, or a GMA/ABC press release or reporting from reliable outlets documenting the announcement; none of the supplied documents meet that standard, so the current record must treat the claim as unsubstantiated by the provided reporting ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

Conclusion

Based on the materials provided, Jonathan Roumie did not publicly state why he left Good Morning America nor announce such a departure in the documented GMA appearances and writeups from March 17, 2025 and related profiles; the supplied sources only record a promotional interview and biographical coverage but contain no exit statement or announcement from Roumie ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}. If additional sources exist—such as Roumie’s personal social-media posts, a press release, or reporting not included here—they would need to be produced to substantiate an actual public explanation and the timing of any announcement.
