Days of Our Lives star Camila Banus, who plays Gabi Hernandez, is saying goodbye to the NBC-turned-Peacock soap after 13 years, The Wrap reports.

Banus cited the show’s move to streaming as “a sign for me to start the next chapter in my life,” the actress told the site.

“Although it’s been wonderful and we’ve had a super great reception, for me, I felt like that was kind of like the initial start for changes happening in general,” she said, adding that she and her husband want to start a family.

“That’s another big factor in possibly just slowing down for a little bit and seeing kind of where this time takes me,” Banus continued. “But I’m also open to other opportunities and ready for big things. I’m just ready for something different.”

Banus’ last day of filming was April 28; an airdate for her final episode has not been announced yet.
