"While she plans to be very publicly involved with her public advocacy work, she has decided she wants to keep the details of her personal life private," Thomas said in a statement. "She is going to be involved in child advocacy work for a long, long time and really decided that she wants to keep her husband and future children out of the public spotlight."

According to the Daily Mail, Elizabeth said she was "happy and excited for this next chapter" in her life.
