In a video message that aired on Tuesday's edition of "The Talk," which is on CBS, Chen told viewers that she is leaving the show for familial reasons.
"Right now, I need to spend more time at home with my husband and young son," Chen said.
Moonves stepped down as chief executive of CBS last week amid sexual misconduct allegations that were brought to light in a pair of exposés published by the New Yorker.
Sources told CNN on Monday that Chen would be leaving the show, with one of the sources saying that she "has decided that her main focus needs to be clearing her husband's name from accusations made 25-30 years ago and tending to her son."
Sources told CNN that Chen will continue to host "Big Brother," the long-running CBS reality show. But her status on "The Talk" has been in doubt ever since Moonves' departure. Before Tuesday, Chen had not appeared on the current season of "The Talk" since it premiered last week.
