Sunrise host Natalie Barr has kept her teenage sons mostly out of the spotlight.

But in this month’s issue of The Australian Women’s Weekly, the 53-year-old proudly beams alongside her rarely seen boys, Lachlan, 19, and Hunter, 16.

In one photo, she poses on the porch of her home alongside Hunter who has his around her shoulders while Lachlan smiles beside them.

In the wide-ranging chat, Natalie opened up about her life away from breakfast television and revealed why her family always ‘comes first’. 

‘I may have this amazing career, but Andrew and the boys come first,’ she said, referring to her husband, film editor Andrew Thompson.

She added that working in breakfast TV allows her to juggle motherhood and her career because she can be a ‘full-time mum for the rest of the day’ once her shift ends.

‘I could be with them and watch them grow up every day. In that way, it was magical,’ the former newsreader-turned-anchor said.

She also said that as her sons grow up, her only wish is for them to have a good life and to be ‘happy and healthy’.
