“There’s no good time to say goodbye to a show and character that’s defined so much of my life for the past 15 years,” Chambers said in a statement to Deadline. “For some time now, however, I have hoped to diversify my acting roles and career choices. And, as I turn 50 and am blessed with my remarkable, supportive wife and five wonderful children, now is that time.”

This left many fans on Twitter heartbroken, sharing crying gifs to work through all their feels. Others were just shocked to learn that Chambers is turning the big 5-0.
