Natalia Cooper has claimed her decision to leave the Today show isn't linked to the shake-up that got Karl Stefanovic, Sylvia Jeffreys and Tim Gilbert axed.
The 35-year-old, who gave birth to son Ezra in January, decided during her maternity leave that she won't be returning as the show's weather presenter.
'We were discussing it last year and, with a baby, it probably wouldn't work with all the travel and the craziness of a job that is on the road a lot,' she told Stellar magazine.

Natalia added: 'It was definitely time to make a change. I've always had my identity tied up in what I do for work. But now my identity is shifting and that's OK.'
She said she has the full support of her musician husband Carl Fox in bidding farewell to the 2am wake-ups.
Natalia and Carl welcomed their son Ezra on January 28, and announced the exciting news with an Instagram snap of their newborn swaddled in a hospital
