Longtime WLEX Anchor Nancy Cox says she is going on a leave of absence from the station starting tomorrow.

"There are some personal things I need to address that I just can't do while I'm here at work," said Cox on Monday's 6 PM Newscast. "[There are] people I need to take care of [and] issues I need to take care of."

Cox also shared the news that she is engaged. Speaking of her future husband, she said, "He is all that and a box of chocolates, and we have a fabulous future to plan together. I wanted to share it with [the viewers] because you all have meant so much to me over the years, and you know everything about me personally, so why not share some of the best news I've ever had?"

Cox started at the station in 1992.
