REBECCA MADDERN’S CAREER IS ON A HIGH, BUT WHEN SHE NEEDS TO STEP AWAY FROM THE SPOTLIGHT SHE RETREATS TO HER QUIET COASTAL GETAWAY

‘Home is my sanctuary'

She’s one of our busiest TV stars. In addition to co-hosting Channel Nine’s ratings-busting Australian Ninja Warrior, which returned for its fifth season this week, Rebecca Maddern commutes from her Melbourne home to Sydney every week – border restrictions permitting – to front Weekend Today alongside Richard Wilkins. She’s also mum to one very busy little girl, Ruby, who celebrated her third birthday back in April.

“It’s a bit full-on at times,” Maddern, 43, tells WHO. “But I love it all and am especially grateful to be busy with work right now, too.”

Maddern and her husband of seven years, Trent Miller, are also renovating their Melbourne home. “We’d put it off for five years, thought about it for two and then started it during a pandemic. I know, we’re mad,” she laughs.

So the family of three decided to retreat to their coastal Victorian getaway (where our exclusive photo shoot took place) to escape the works.

Thanks for inviting us into your retreat. This isn’t a bad place to sit out a home renovation! What’s special about this property for you?

We get away to this place on the coast from our home in Melbourne as much as we can, in normal times, because both my family and my husband Trent’s family are down this way. It’s been really nice to enjoy an extended stay here though. Our daughter Ruby especially has loved it, mainly because she’s had Mummy and Daddy at her beck and call 24/7!

You’re super-busy in your career, what’s downtime like for you?
