In her caption, Reyes revealed the moments are from her final day on set of the hit Peacock soap.
“It has been an absolute honor to be a part of such a legacy, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude for what this opportunity has taught and given me. Although it was my choice—and mine alone—to make my exit from the show, I will always look back on this chapter with complete and honest gratitude and affection. It’s bittersweet to see the end of this chapter, but I am over the moon excited to welcome in the next. Here’s to what’s coming!!” she ended her caption.
Reyes didn’t confirm what is next for her, but one thing has already been revealed. The actress is reprising her role as Sofia in the Kate Hudson Netflix show “Running Point.” Season 2 of the comedy drops on the streaming service on April 23.
