Sam Mac is set to become a father for a third time.
The Sunrise weatherman announced that his fiancée Rebecca James was pregnant on his Instagram account on Wednesday, and shared a series of sweet images featuring his partner and the couple’s two adorable children, Margot, three, and Mabel, 18 months.
Rebecca revealed her baby bump, which Sam kissed as he held a set of sonogram images.
Meanwhile, Rebecca held on tight to little Mabel while sporting a joyous expression, as Margot clutched a cookie and watched on.
Captioning the sweet image, Sam revealed that baby number three would arrive in just four months.
‘Baby Mac coming this July,’ Sam wrote.

He added that the biggest hurdle with the announcement was coaxing Margot to cooperate in the photo.
‘The negotiations involved to get a three-year-old to appear in a photo…Wowsers!’ he wrote.
‘You’ll notice a bribery cookie, we had a bubble machine, I think at one point I even promised Margot a pony. But we got there!’
Sam continued: ‘Bec is doing so great & Mabel is super excited to get her turn at being a big sister! Bring it on.’
The post was met with an outpouring of congratulations from friends and followers.
Reality TV veteran Reggie Bird chimed in with an excited: ‘Oh good on ya’s, that’s awesome guys.’
Sam’s Sunrise co-star Natalie Barr also offered her best wishes with: ‘Triple Mac!! Amazing news,’ while Edwina Bartholomew also added: ‘This is the best news.’
Sam also let Sunrise viewers in on his secret on Wednesday, which was also news to hosts Natalie Barr and Matt Shirvington.

After delivering the weather, Sam shocked his co-stars with: ‘I just wanted to share some personal news… Bec is pregnant. We are expecting baby number three.’
Both Nat and Matt were clearly surprised and overjoyed at the news, with Matt asking Sam if he and Bec were planning on learning the baby’s gender before birth.
‘We didn’t find out with Margot and Mabel – I love the surprise element,’ Sam said.
‘I was going to message you guys yesterday but I thought: “Let’s just do it on the air, we do everything else on the air.”‘
Sam doubled down on his claim that Margot was difficult to wrangle for the announcement photo, while taking a cheeky dig at Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson amid news of the end of their radio show.
‘You think Kyle and Jackie O are having troubles with contracts? Try getting a three-year-old to pose in a photo,’ he joked.
Sam and Rebecca welcomed their first daughter Margot in September 2022, two years after they started dating.
Announcing the news at the time, Sam wrote: ‘This is a love I never even knew existed. I’m overwhelmed and still processing it all right now. My girls. Wow.’

Just over a year later, Sam announced his engagement to Rebecca with a sweet Instagram post back in December 2023.
He shared a photo of Rebecca flashing her diamond engagement ring with the caption: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, my fiancée! She said yes.’
The couple then welcomed their second daughter, Mabel, in August 2024.
