Since leaving the breakfast show after eight years on-air as co-host, Sam is now fronting her own podcast called Something To Talk About for Stellar magazine.

Sam started dating Richard, 61, in April 2019.

The couple announced their engagement in June last year.
She tied the knot with the millionaire businessman on New Year’s Eve, in a quaint ceremony at his Southern Highlands home.
Their intimate wedding ceremony featured only a small number of guests due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with Richard’s daughters, Sasha and Grace, believed to be in attendance.
