Dana Perino, beloved Fox News anchor and former White House Press Secretary, just dropped a bombshell: she’s leaving for a months-long journey across Europe with her husband Peter McMahon — and she plans to do something no Fox News colleague has ever dared to do.
In an emotional segment at the end of America’s Newsroom, Perino revealed her next chapter:
“We’re packing our bags, turning off the phones, and for the first time in 25 years — I won’t be talking about politics. At all.”
That’s right. For the duration of their multi-country European journey, Dana has pledged to disconnect entirely from news commentary, instead focusing on documenting stories of everyday kindness, forgotten places, and untold local legends.
“It’s not retirement,” she clarified. “It’s rediscovery. I want to meet grandmothers in Croatian villages, bakers in the south of France, orphanage directors in Romania. I want to ask, ‘What makes your life beautiful?’”
The announcement stunned colleagues — and delighted fans. Many noted that no major Fox News personality has taken such a bold sabbatical with the intent of documenting humanity over headlines.
Fox insiders say Dana will chronicle the experience in a photo-journal memoir titled Quiet Grace: Notes from the Roads We Never Take — already sparking interest from multiple publishers.
Hashtags like #DanaInEurope, #FoxGoesQuiet, and #PerinoProject quickly began trending, with supporters calling the move “radical, soulful, and completely Dana.”
As she ended the segment, Dana looked straight into the camera and smiled:
“For once, I won’t be asking the questions. I’ll just be listening.”
