Sylvia Jeffreys returns to Today Extra

Sylvia Jeffreys has made a triumphant return to co-hosting Today Extra

After spending time away on maternity leave, Sylvia was welcomed back on Monday morning by Today host, and her brother in law, Karl Stefanovic. 

"Today is a big day on Today Extra - Sylvia Jeffreys is back everyone".

Sylvia said she felt elated to be back at work alongside her co-host David Campbell. 

"I've had a long shower and a hot coffee so it's basically my birthday," she said, before joking she was "free as a bird".

"I'm feeling very good and all the better for seeing all your beautiful faces in real life this morning.

"And I'm never going home again. It's too nice wearing make-up."

Sylvia went on maternity leave in March, as she and her husband Pete Stefanovic welcome their second child in April. 

Henry George became the newest member of the family, alongside big brother Oscar who was born in February 2020.

Sylvia shared the news of Henry's birth to her 260,000 Instagram followers, just days after celebrating her four year wedding anniversary with Pete. 

The two journalists got married in a stunning outdoor ceremony held at the exclusive Ooralba Estate New South Wales’ picturesque Kangaroo Valley in 2017.
