Barbara Walters is set to retire in May 2014 after more than five decades as one of the most prominent television journalists in the U.S., Reuters reports citing a source familiar with her plans.
Walters, 83, is reportedly planning to announce her retirement in the next few weeks.
"It was very much her decision. I think she will best explain it herself," the source told Reuters.
A spokesman with ABC's "The View," which Walters created and hosts, gave no comment to Fox News.
Walters has suffered a series of health issues recently. She was hospitalized in January after fainting and hitting her head, and then came down with the chicken pox.
Walters is best known as one of the U.S.' top interviewers. Her subjects have included Fidel Castro, Margaret Thatcher, Saddam Hussein and every U.S. president since Richard Nixon.
Reuters contributed to this report.
