Today Show host Sarah Abo has welcomed her first child with husband Cyrus Moran, after departing the show earlier this month to go on maternity leave.
Abo host shared the announcement to her colleagues via FaceTime, and later on shared photos of her baby boy, Sonny, in a post shared to Instagram.
“Hi there, you can call me Sonny,” she wrote alongside images of her newborn.
“What a week with our little man. He came into the world a little early but that gave us a little longer to marvel at you, our beautiful boy.
“We love you so infinitely darling. And to the incredible doctors and midwives who made hospital home for two weeks – thank you for taking such good care of us, you are all angels and we are forever grateful.”
During the call with her colleagues, Abo held Sonny as she introduced him, saying that he is now about a week old, and he is healthy despite being born “a little bit early”.
“He’s really good. He was born just in time to watch his first Pies win against the Blues … so that was a bit of a thrill,” Abo joked.
“Although dad only had eyes for his bubba. And we’ve been just in our own little bubble for the week which is such a treat.”
Abo then apologised to the people who had reached out to her over the past week, explaining that she and Moran have been busy adjusting to a new life as first-time parents.
“It’s like you can’t even imagine life without them. You just go, ‘Wow, now this is our world, ’ and everything is so special and nothing else matters, which is wonderful,” she said.
She then thanked the doctors and midwives she worked with for helping her through the pregnancy and birth, after going in and out of hospital in the final weeks of her pregnancy due to health complications.
Abo was originally meant to go on maternity leave in August 2026, but earlier this month she announced she had to depart early to rest for the remainder of her pregnancy.
She also thanked viewers and her colleagues for their support, saying: “I know the viewers and the audience have been just incredible. I’ve had so many messages of support from you all.”
“I’ve had so many messages of support from you all. Know that I tried everything. I tried to break free out of hospital to get there on the couch just to say goodbye to you one last time. But I couldn’t, and I’m so sorry about it, doctor’s orders.
“But you all know how much I love you, and you all on the couch and everyone behind-the-scenes there just incredible. You put the best show together, and I’ve missed you all so much.
“But I’ll be seeing you all soon, you’ll be able to meet the man and I can’t wait.”
