Megan Rapinoe is launching a new show.
The legendary U.S. women's national team star has previously hosted a podcast with her longtime partner, Sue Bird. However, Rapinoe and Bird announced earlier this year that they have broken up. The couple was set to get married, but that won't be happening anymore.
"There really is no smooth or easy way to share this news," they wrote in an Instagram post. "After a lot of thought, we've made the decision to separate as a couple.
"This hasn't been an easy decision, but it's one we've made together, with so much love, respect, and care for each other."
Weeks after the breakup, Rapinoe has announced the launch of a new show.
Vox Media announced this week that Rapinoe will launchWhy Are You Like This?, an interview show featuring prominent athletes, artists, activists and more.
The interview show is set to focus on the “architects of culture.”
While Rapinoe has yet to name any of the guests that will be featured on her new show, she's made a promise to all of her fans.

Rapinoe has promised that her new show will feature “some of the world’s most interesting people,” according to an interview with Variety.
Vox Media is excited, too.
“We’re thrilled to be continuing our partnership with Megan, an iconoclast who’s as admired for her fearless voice as for her accomplishments in sports,” said Nishat Kurwa, SVP & executive producer at Vox Media. “Why Are You Like This? is an exciting opportunity to leverage her range and authority to reveal the layered backstories of her fellow trailblazers.”
Rapinoe can't wait to get going.
“Since I was a kid I have always been curious about what makes people tick…the zigging left when everyone is zagging right and all the little choices that people make along the way,” said Rapinoe. “Why Are You Like This?” is a deep dive into this question with some of the world’s most interesting people.”
