Despite the rumors, Anderson Cooper is staying at CNN.

The host renewed his contract with CNN after speculation he would be transitioning to CBS, according to Variety.

Cooper quietly signed a new deal with CNN that will see him continuing to anchor the primetime cable news network for the foreseeable future.

This move puts an end to months of swirling rumors that the longtime anchor was toying with the idea of leaving his post. The rumors gained traction earlier this year when he switched management agencies, leaving United Talent Agency for Creative Artists Agency.

Despite these persistent exit rumors, Cooper has committed to CNN. In addition to his nightly news show, Anderson Cooper 360°, Cooper hosts The Whole Story—a weekend program specializing in long-form reporting—the "All There Is" podcast, CNN's New Year's Eve special from Times Square, as well as live election coverage.

Cooper also contibutes to CBS’s 60 Minutes.

Cooper originally joined CNN in 2001 as an anchor alongside Paula Zahn on American Morning.
