Having grown up in Lansdale, Pa., Sosna is a native of the area. He even graduated from Kean University. His career has taken him to WNBC (NBC 4) in New York City before arriving in Philadelphia to work at NBC10 in 2017.

“My husband recently got an incredible job within the federal government, and so we're off to Washington DC. He's already there,” Sosna wrote in Friday night’s social media post. “This is an opportunity that I could not hold him back from-- as it is his dream, and he followed me to PHILLY 6 years ago for my dream.”

We'll miss you, Steve.
