Katherine Heigl Confirms ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Exit

Katherine Heigl has confirmed she’s quit her role on “Grey’s Anatomy” in order to spend more time with her adopted daughter. The actress has been dogged by rumors of a departure from the show ever since she landed her breakthrough movie role in 2007’s “Knocked Up” and went on to forge a promising film career on the big screen. Now, after a three-month break from the series, Heigl has announced she won’t be returning. She said she plans on spending her free time raising her daughter, Naleigh, with husband Josh Kelley. The couple adopted the little girl from South Korea last year. Heigl last appeared on “Grey’s Anatomy” in January.
