They’re soon to become the parents of three children under the age of three, but The Coast radio’s Sam Wallace and his wife Sarah Bowman are remarkably relaxed at the prospect!
The jokes just keep on rolling as the parents of Brando, 23 months – who are 25 weeks’ pregnant with twin girls – catch up with the Weekly at their Auckland home.
“We’re basically using this platform to let everyone know that from this point on, we don’t do any washing or cooking,” Sam quips. “We’re going to put together a schedule for the cleaning and cooking and I’ll be getting that delivered to our friends and family. They can do it however they like, as long as the work gets done!”
And with Sam’s friend and breakfast radio show co-host Toni Street just “one K down the road”, he reckons there’ll be a “fair bit of dumping of all three kids at her place”, too.
When Sam, 39, and Sarah, 37, found out they were having twins, their first reaction was to laugh. “I mean, what else could we do,” Sarah giggles. “And then Sam went for a walk.”
The former TV weatherman laments, “My dream car, my Mercedes AMG63, I could hear driving off. And then pictures of Toyota Highlanders slipped into my imagination.”
On a more serious note, he adds, “The really weird thing is that your priorities change, and we went from, ‘How are we going to pay for this?’ to ‘This is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to us.’
