Sunrise star David Koch and his wife Libby arrive at Sydney Airport

David ‘Kochie’ Koch announced his retirement from Sunrise recently, after hosting the hit breakfast show for 21 years.

And the television host appeared relaxed and happy on Sunday as he made his way through Sydney Airport with his wife, Libby. 

The veteran TV host, 67, was all smiles as he made his way through the terminal wheeling along his luggage. 

David was dressed casually in a black jumper and dark blue jeans, as well as a leather dress shoes. 

Libby also dressed down in a pale pink hoodie with a black shirt underneath and grey skinny jeans. 

Kochie recently revealed why he and his wife Libby never let fame get to their heads despite his success. 

‘We haven’t got caught up in that TV bulls**t bubble that can lead you astray and give you an inflated opinion of yourself,’ he told The Daily Telegraph. 

‘We’ve never had that, and I’m thankful.’

Libby, Kochie’s wife of 44 years, also revealed to the publication that her husband actually asked her to keep him down to earth years ago. 

‘That was something we talked about when he started doing it. He was like, “You’ve got to keep me grounded – and I know you will keep me in check”,’ she said.

‘I think because he’s so down to earth and just such a regular guy it makes him more relatable, and probably gave him the longevity in the job.’

Kochie and Libby have been married since 1979 and share four children, daughters Samantha, 42, Bree, 38, and Georgina, 32, and son Alexander, 35. 

It comes days after Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed Matt ‘Shirvo’ Shirvington will be crowned as Kochie’s successor after a three-year plan to prepare him for the top job.

Insiders revealed he will have his role made official on June 5, just four days before Kochie films his final show as Sunrise host. 

The new appointment follows a carefully curated training process for the popular television presenter, 44, who is widely liked by Seven’s top executives and viewers.

It’s understood Kochie himself has given Shirvo his ‘blessing’.

‘David believes Matt is a great fit and thinks he will do a fantastic job,’ an insider told Daily Mail Australia.
