It’s official, everyone. Katherine Heigl has confirmed that she is leaving Grey’s Anatomy, and that the January 21st episode was her last one.

One of TV’s longest-running dramas has finally (and officially) come to an end: Katherine Heigl confirms in this week’s exclusive Entertainment Weekly cover that she is leaving Grey’s Anatomy.

“I am done,” declares Heigl. “We just finalized our agreement. Everyone had been working really hard to find an amicable and gracious way of letting go and moving on. It’s sad but it’s what I wanted.”

The 31-year-old actress reveals that it was family issues, not her burgeoning film career, that prompted her to approach series creator Shonda Rhimes and ask to be let out of her contract 18 months early. “I started a family and it changed everything for me,” says Heigl, who took a three-month family leave from Grey’s this season to bond with her newly-adopted daughter, Naleigh. “It changed my desire to work full-time.”

Although she was scheduled to appear in this season’s final five episodes, that is no longer happening. As a result, the Jan. 21 episode was her last as Izzie. “I know I’m disappointing the fans,” she says. “I just had to make a choice. I hope I made the right one.”

Katherine and her husband, Josh Kelley is adopting a baby girl from Korea! Congratulations to the both of them!

“It is a little girl and she’ll be 10 months at the end this month,” Heigl said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in an episode to air Friday, announcing her impending adoption. “She was actually born the day before me in November, which I thought was really serendipitous and just kind of like a sign. I realized just recently that I basically forfeited my birthday for the rest of my life.”

The couple are adopting a special-needs girl from Korea; Heigl’s sister also was adopted from Korea.

“Her name is Naleigh,” Heigl said. “Well, I am naming her after my mother and sister Nancy, Leigh. So we call her Naleigh.”

Heigl’s new daughter will be coming “real soon,” she said.

“I wanted to tell everybody so you don’t think I stole a Korean baby,” she said, laughing.
