Sam Mac announces exciting news with fiancee Rebecca James

Sunrise weatherman Sam Mac has announced some very exciting news in a celebratory social media post.

Sunrise weather presenter Sam Mac has announced he’s expecting his second child.

Sharing a sweet photo on Instagram, the Channel 7 star revealed he and fiancee Rebecca James were set to welcome another family member after having daughter Margot in September 2022.

“‘Baby Mac’ (the sequel) premiering this August 2024,” he wrote. “Starring Margot as the big sister.”

Sam Mac and fiancee Rebecca are expecting their second child.

It comes after Mac proposed to his partner of three years in December.

He posted a picture of himself beaming alongside his bride-to-be as she flashed her diamond ring.

“Ladies and gentlemen, my fiancé (sic)! She said yes,” Mac wrote in the caption.

“My secret 2023 New Year’s resolution was to propose to my darling Rebecca sometime this year. So I guess this is what you’d call a buzzer-beater.

“She’s calm, strong and unintentionally funny. She’s super smart and a genuine knockout beauty. She makes me a better man.”

Mac said he proposed in front of her parents and brother.

“I told her I’m in love with every version of her and asked her to be mine forever, she said yes,” he continued.

“It’s only been eight hours, but I’ve already referred to her as MY FIANCÉ (sic) 74 times.

“It’s loud, proud, and borderline obnoxious, but it feels right. Thank you @rebeccajames_stylist for bringing the magic to my life, now let’s plan a wedding!”

The couple, who were initially just friends, began dating in 2020 during the pandemic and went public with their relationship in March 2021.

Mac, who first joined the Channel 7 breakfast program in 2016, took a lengthy break from his gig in November to allow Rebecca, a stylist, the chance to return to work.

Since welcoming Margot, Mac had boarded over 100 flights as part of his gig presenting the weather forecast, reporting live from different locations across the country.

“She’s [Rebecca] 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,” Mac told 7Life at the time.

“It’s my turn to be getting Margot up, feed her and basically becoming her personal assistant /servant.

“She’s walking now, which is awesome but it’s a bit daunting because we have to childproof the house … but really exciting times.

“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.”
