Celebrity news audiences were taken aback today as Kit Hoover, the charismatic host of Access Hollywood, disclosed her separation from Crowley Sullivan, her husband of 25 years.
Kit Hoover and Crowley Sullivan are parting ways, marking the end of a marriage that has spanned over a quarter-century, People reported.
Hoover, 54, has been a familiar face on television for many years, most notably co-hosting Access Hollywood and Access Daily alongside Mario Lopez. She has become a beloved figure in entertainment journalism, praised for her energetic personality and insightful interviews.
Crowley Sullivan, on the other hand, is well-known in the sports management world as the CEO of Athlete Advantage, a firm specializing in athletic career management. The couple's paths in high-profile careers have often made them subjects of public fascination.
Their marriage began in 1999, and the union brought three children into the world: Campbell, Crowley Jr., and Hayes. Over the years, Hoover has frequently shared snippets of her family life, providing her audience with a peek into her off-camera world.
Back in 2021, Hoover made headlines with an Instagram post celebrating their 22nd wedding anniversary. She humorously referenced meeting Harry Caray, a legendary Cubs announcer, the same weekend she met her husband. The post read, "Holy Cow…22 years married. Happy Anniversary!!!! 💙(a nod to the Cubs 🐻 and Harry Caray who my husband met the same weekend he met me - I don’t ask which was more meaningful-😂)."
Hoover’s career took a significant turn when she joined Access Hollywood/NBC in 2010. Upon reflecting on her journey in Hollywood, she once stated on social media, "I got my dream job at age 40!! I signed with Access Hollywood/NBC back in 2010 and haven’t even hit my stride yet…Keep swinging for the fences. 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻."
In recent interviews, she has openly discussed the challenges of juggling her roles as a working mother, wife, and daughter. According to Hoover, "I love my work and I’m so grateful for it, but being a working mom, wife, and daughter, it’s impossible to do everything well all the time. There are times you can’t be where you need to be and so different aspects might suffer, but if I try to be present where I am, things usually work out."
Hoover has often emphasized the importance of spending quality time with her family. She believes that activities like binge-watching TV shows not only provide entertainment but also fortify familial relationships. "My husband, kids, and I have never been big TV watchers, but we’ve been having a blast bingeing shows these days! It’s great for our relationship because it just gives us the time together as a family to do something fun. And in the tough moments, remembering that connection just brings us closer," she shared.
In September 2024, Hoover made an appearance at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards at Peacock Theater, showcasing her ongoing commitment to her career despite personal challenges.
The news of Hoover and Sullivan's separation is still fresh, and many details about the proceedings remain private. As they navigate this challenging time, the focus remains on maintaining a stable environment for their children and respecting their family's privacy.
As Hoover continues to balance her personal life with her public responsibilities, her audience remains supportive. Her candidness and resilience often shared through her platforms, have resonated with many who admire her ability to prioritize what truly matters when the cameras stop rolling.
