Sam Mac takes a break from Sunrise
Sunrise weather presenter Sam Mac is taking a break from the screen so he can take care of his one-year-old daughter, Margot.
Sam revealed that he is looking forward to enjoying one month of parental leave to help out his partner, Rebecca James, who is planning to go back to work.
“She’s been thinking about it for the past few months and now that Margot is over a year old she’s ready to properly get back into the workforce,” he told 7Life.
The Sunrise presenter also thanked his team for allowing him to take so much time off to focus on his family.
“It’s my turn to be getting Margot up, feed her and basically becoming her personal assistant/servant,” he joked.
He added that Margot is “at a really good age right now”, and the doting dad can't wait to take her to the zoo, aquarium and spend more time with her.
“She’s walking now which is awesome but it’s a bit daunting because we have to childproof the house … but really exciting times,” he said.
“Margot’s changed so much even in the past couple of months.
“So it’s super-exciting to have some proper quality time with her.”
Sam and his partner also have a few exciting trips planned, including trips to to Melbourne, where Rebecca’s family is, and Adelaide, where Sam’s parents are, just in time for Christmas.
