Horndog newshound Steve Kroft has finally retired from 60 Minutes — four years after The National ENQUIRER exposed his adulterous affair!

Steve, now 73, fessed up to his three-year fling with lawyer Lisan Goines after The ENQUIRER revealed their kinky text messages and caught them sneaking out of an NYC hotel.

Now, snitches say the scandal derailed his plans to retire!

“He said he didn’t want that to tarnish his legacy,” said a source, and waited for news to die down before leaving the show.
As Steve — who’s been wed to wife Jennet Conant for 27 years — signed off, he said he was leaving “while I still have all of my marbles.”

Steve did not respond to The ENQUIRER’s requests for comment.
