Former CBS News anchor Josh Elliott filed for divorce from New York City-based journalist Liz Cho — and details of their messy split are being revealed.
Us Weekly can confirm that Elliott filed for divorce in June 2025. Page Six broke the news of their split months later, in March 2026.
“The marriage of the parties has broken down irretrievably,” documents obtained by Page Six read. In Cho’s November 2025 response to the initial filing, she used similar terminology, revealing that their relationship had “broken down irretrievably.”
Elliott and Cho met while they were working at ABC and dated for two years before he proposed to her in August 2014. They got married the following year in a July 2015 ceremony hosted in California. (Elliott was previously married to Priya Narang, with whom he shares daughter Sarina. Cho, meanwhile, split from ex-husband Evan Gottlieb in 2012. They share a daughter, Louisa, born in 2007.)
Neither Elliott nor Cho has spoken publicly about their split.
