Sunrise Sam Mac: In the early part of 2023, Sunrise’s weather presenter, Sam Mac, embarked on 112 flights to showcase the beauty of Australian towns and cities to viewers. But with a partner and a one-year-old daughter, it’s time for him to hit the pause button on the travel and savor the precious moments with his beloved Margot.
Sam is eagerly looking forward to a month of parental leave while his partner, Rebecca James, returns to work as a stylist. Margot, who has recently turned one, is at an age filled with milestones that Sam doesn’t want to miss.
Sam expressed his gratitude to Seven and the Sunrise team for allowing him this opportunity to be more involved at home during this new chapter in their lives. He humorously added, “It’s my turn to be getting Margot up, feed her, and basically become her personal assistant/servant.”
The father-daughter duo has exciting plans for their time together. Sam is eager to take Margot to the zoo and aquarium and savor the simple joys of parenting.
Margot’s developmental journey has been filled with milestones. She’s now walking, has uttered her first word, and even makes adorable animal sounds, thanks to a bit of “brainwashing” from her dad, who proudly claims that her first word was “Dad.”

Sam is thrilled to spend quality time with Margot and witness her growth and changing personality. The next couple of months will be all about family for the McMillan-James household, with Sam’s leave and the upcoming Christmas celebrations.
They’re planning trips to Melbourne, where Rebecca’s family resides, and Adelaide, where Sam’s parents live. Sam recently surprised his dad with an unforgettable experience, treating him to a Paul McCartney concert, creating a special memory between father and son.
Sam shared this touching moment on TikTok, which resonated with many of his Australian followers who understood the sentiment behind it. However, it generated some mixed reactions from international viewers who may not have grasped the context. Sam clarifies that it was a surprise just for his dad, and his mom, Loretta, was fully aware of the plan.
Despite the online confusion, the heartwarming surprise left Sam’s dad buzzing with excitement and still reminiscing about the unforgettable evening.
Family and cherished moments take center stage in Sam Mac’s life, both personally and professionally.
