A source told The Sun: "Karene's loved her time on the soap but it is time for her to go.
"Being on Emmerdale was a dream but she became an actor to play different roles and that's exactly what she wants to do.
"The door isn't being closed on Naomi so she could always make a return down the line."
Emmerdale declined to comment when approached by RadioTimes.com, but the original report suggests her exit will air in summer 2023.
