White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders will be leaving her post at the end of June, President Donald Trump has announced.
Mr Trump tweeted that Mrs Sanders would be returning to her home of Arkansas after more than three years on the job.
"She is a very special person with extraordinary talents, who has done an incredible job," Mr Trump wrote.
She started out as deputy press secretary before replacing Sean Spicer in the top post in July 2017.
Mrs Sanders, 36, has been a fierce defender of the president, famously saying that God "wanted Donald Trump to become president".
She had a combative relationship with the media, often repeating her boss' allegation of fake news. Presentational white space
But White House press conferences have become increasingly rare during her tenure.
Mr Trump has opted to take charge of his own media relations by making impromptu remarks to journalists on the South Lawn of the White House when he departs on the presidential helicopter Marine One for various engagements.
Mrs Sanders' time in the post was not without controversy, and she was accused of making false claims to journalists.
After Mr Trump fired FBI Director James Comey in May 2017, she told reporters she had "heard from countless members of the FBI that are grateful and thankful for the President's decision".
But she told special counsel Robert Mueller, during his investigation into whether the Trump election campaign had colluded with Russia, that this claim was "a slip of the tongue" that was "not founded on anything".
Last June, Mrs Sanders dismissed rumours that she would be stepping down.
Mrs Sanders is the daughter of Mike Huckabee, who served as the governor of Arkansas from 1996 to 2007.
In his tweet announcing Mrs Sander's pending resignation, Mr Trump wrote that he hoped she would run for the same position.
"She would be fantastic," he said.

Fired for being uglier than Chelsea Clinton's family?

Sara has been an outstanding press secretary. The replacement must be a pit bull who will continue to slap the hell out of the lying media.
Liberals are like Slinkys. They're good for nothing, but somehow they bring a smile to your face as you shove them down the stairs.

She told reporters she had "heard from countless members of the FBI that are grateful and thankful for the President's decision". She corrected that by saying she shouldn't have used the word "countless".
That's the sum total of the controversy.

Well, they used to be daily and now it's been 90 days since the last one. So yeah, they're rare.
But I don't need some highly-paid reporter from the BBC to tell me the obvious.
I'd like that reporter to tell me why that is. Perhaps it's because these liberal reporters were using the daily briefings to make disparaging speeches about Trump rather than asking questions? Perhaps because the reporters were rude and condescending towards Trump and Sarah Sanders? Perhaps because the reporters published fake news anyways despite the briefing? Perhaps because the reporters were simply preening in front of the camera?

That was a year ago!! Gosh, did it ever occur to the BBC that perhaps a year ago she had no intention of stepping down?
Is the BBC trying to accuse her of flip-flopping on her position ... and basing it on some "rumour"?

Good choice.
