As far as big years go, 2023 is shaping up to be a momentous one for Breakfast presenter Anna Burns-Francis. As well as settling into her role on TVNZ’s flagship morning show, she’s excitedly planning a winter wedding to her fiancé Simon, who proposed late last year in a helicopter high above New York, just before they returned to Aotearoa.
“It’s so nice to be creating this life together at home,” she says, speaking to Woman’s Day on a Monday morning after her three-hour Breakfast shift. “It’s certainly a change of pace to living in New York, but I was ready for that. The air is clean, we’re near the sea, everything feels fresh, raw and wild, and the people are so friendly and familiar. Best of all, we’re close to our families again, so everything feels right.”
Two months into the Breakfast role, the former US correspondent and Fair Go presenter, 37, happily admits she’s still settling in. It feels exciting to be part of a new line-up alongside Matty McLean, JennyMay Clarkson and fellow newcomer Chris Chang, but it’s also a steep learning curve.
