Selena Gomez reveals her heartbreak – but the biggest shock comes from Hallmark: The latest news about Lacey Chabert has fans absolutely heartbroken… 💔 She announced she wanted to leave work to rest and spend time with her family
The Hallmark movie community was in shock today when Lacey Chabert – the “queen of Christmas movies” and indispensable icon of the Hallmark channel – suddenly announced that she would be taking a hiatus, leaving the spotlight to rest and prioritize her family in the near future. This news broke out just hours after Selena Gomez shared about her personal pain, creating a strong wave of emotions on social networks.
For Hallmark fans, Lacey Chabert is more than just an actress. She is the soul of warm, sweet movies, a familiar face associated with the holiday season. Therefore, her temporary withdrawal is like a part of the audience’s memory being dragged along.

In her latest announcement, Lacey wrote: “I have spent over a decade working non-stop. Now it is time for me to listen to my heart. I need time for my family – for the things that really matter.” These words immediately touched the hearts of fans, especially at a time when many Hollywood artists are struggling with psychological pressure and busy schedules.
A source close to Lacey said that she had to make this decision after feeling exhausted both mentally and physically. The long filming schedule, the back-to-back projects, plus the responsibility of being a mother left her with almost no time for her own family. Although she tried to maintain everything, Lacey eventually realized that she needed a break to balance her life.

On social networks, thousands of comments were filled with regret but also love. Many fans wrote: “Hallmark without Lacey is like Christmas without snow.” Others sent words of encouragement: “You deserve a break. Family is always the most important.” The hashtag #WeLoveYouLacey quickly climbed to the top of the trending list.

Notably, this information appeared almost in parallel with Selena Gomez opening up about recent disappointments and hurts in her personal life. This coincidence made many fans feel like the entire entertainment world was experiencing a wave of sad emotions, reminding that behind the spotlight, celebrities also have fragile hearts, also need rest and understanding.
Although Hallmark has not given an official answer about plans to replace or rotate projects after Lacey temporarily left, many sources predict that the channel will face great difficulties, because Lacey is one of their rare “rating guarantee” faces.

However, fans still hope that Lacey will return after recharging, because no one can fill the void she left.
One thing is for sure: this break isn’t the end – it’s Lacey Chabert’s way of protecting her heart, her family, and her future.
