“Just the nicest week with my family,” Shimkus wrote with a heart emoji on the post.

The pictures come as Shimkus has been notably absent from the daily news program Fox & Friends for a week.

It’s unclear why Shimkus took time off but it seems that she spent the time with her family, according to her Instagram post.

Shimkus returned to the show just as Ainsley Earhardt confirmed that she won’t be on-air while she travels to Iowa.

Earhardt revealed earlier this week that she won’t appear in the studio.

“I will be live from The Machine Shed this Friday morning at 5 am CT!” she wrote in an Instagram post.

“Looking forward to seeing some of you there!”

While there, Earhardt is expected to do interviews with Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds.

It’s unclear how much of the show Earhardt will miss but Shimkus will be filling in for her while she’s gone.

Fox & Friends, which Earhardt co-hosts alongside Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade, airs on the network from 6am – 9am ET.

She has been with Fox News since 2007, and in 2016 was named a co-host of Fox & Friends.

She previously co-hosted Fox and Friends Weekend, All-American New Year’s Eve, and America’s News Headquarters.

Shimkus has appeared on Fox & Friends as a news anchor and guest co-host since 2021.
