“I have some big news to share. I mentioned earlier I had personal news to share. Bec and the girls and I are moving to Melbourne,” Mac said.

“Bec is from Melbourne, and I travel so much, she will have the support of grandparents and friends nearby.

“I have loved Sydney. It’s been incredible. I’m an Adelaide boy. To be in Melbourne closer to the footy, closer to the grandparents. I wanted to share it with the Sunrise family.

“I will continue on Sunrise, I will still be running around the country.”

Mac explained he was glad his daughters will experience more nature.

Mac continued: “I’ve been thinking about it for a while.

“We will be out near the Yarra Valley, the girls will be playing with lizards and kangaroos.”

On Instagram, Mac also made an adorable announcement, in a series of family photos.

“Our little family is moving from Sydney to Melbourne. Here’s why ... The love story began on a screen in covid times. I lived in Sydney and Bec in Melb.

“After six months of getting to know each other online, this photo was taken on our first date. The chemistry was electric.

“After countless lockdowns and border closures.

“Somehow, I managed to convince Bec to move to Sydney. Over the past four years, we have bought a house, renovated a house, launched a business, got engaged, eaten a lot of cheesymite scrolls, and had two beautiful girls.

“Seeing them play in their grandparent’s backyard near the Yarra Valley was a lightbulb moment.

“The lizards, the kookaburras and kangaroos lit up their faces with such joy and wonder. We knew that was the childhood we wanted for them. The grandparents are now nine minutes, instead of nine hours away.

“Time to repay my darling Rebecca for taking the leap of faith for the weird cat loving weatherman in the tiny smelly Bachelor pad. See you soon Melbourne.”

Sunrise viewers are familiar with Mac’s beautiful love story.

Sam and Bec got engaged on December 31, 2023.

“She’s calm, strong, and unintentionally funny. She’s super smart and a genuine knockout beauty,” Mac said.

“She makes me a better man.”
