SAM MAC'S CHEEKY BABY REVEAL 'MY GUT TELLS ME IT'S A GIRL!'

Sunrise's cheeky weatherman, Sam Sam Mac' McMillan, shares much of his life with millions of Aussies every day. But when he and partner Rebecca James found out they were expecting their first child together, he really just wanted to keep it a secret.

“It was really nice to have something that was just ours, and it was for quite a few months,” Sam tells New Idea.

“I was still happy to not share it just yet, but Bec was starting to get a bump and she didn't want people wondering."

When it came time to reveal their happy news, Sam, 40, and Bec, 32, went to lengths to surprise their parents and siblings in person, travelling from Sydney to Melbourne and Adelaide to share the joy.

Of course, they filmed the excited reactions - which included Sam's dad's cheeky tease over the absence of an engagement ring on Bec's finger - and posted a beautiful video on social media.

"He kept going on about that, saying, 'I'm looking for a big rock.' And I said, ‘Dad, just be happy with the other news we just shared,” Sam jokingly groans.

There's no doubt that Sam has found his soulmate in Bec.

“I think [a wedding] is something to look forward to in the future, but I certainly don't feel the need to put a timeline on it,” Sam says. “I always feel with relationships there is no rule book ... and you can't tell people the order that things should happen.
