Sunrise's Sam Mac shares common parenting struggle: 'Relatable'

Sunrise star Sam Mac has shared a hilarious snapshot of life with a newborn.

In a video posted on social media, he shared a ‘relatable’ parenting moment during his first night out with girlfriend Rebecca James.

He told fans that the song Beyond by Leon Bridges was extremely special to the pair, as they played it over Zoom to each other during lockdown and used the song to share their baby news.

In a sweet surprise, the weatherman purchased tickets to see the singer in Sydney, but made one rookie error.

“This was before I knew that babies don’t sleep 8-hour blocks like adults, I didn’t know this,” he admitted while cradling Margot.

In the video, he said they had “2 hours on the shot clock” to get to the concert, hear the song live, and get back to feed their baby.

“Our nanny arrived so we hopped on the ferry, had a sneaky bevvie, then stared at photos of Margot — missing her after 42 minutes apart,” he quipped in the voiceover.

The couple was excited to see how close they were to the singer at the Sydney Opera House. However, the new parents couldn’t wait to rush home and get back to Margot.

“After that night, I think someone’s about to reach second base. Yeah, it was Margot,” he quipped, over a video of Rebecca breastfeeding.

Rebecca commented on the post, saying that it was “such a special night out”.

It wasn’t long before Sam’s fans started to comment, with one saying they were ‘parenting goals’.

“The bit where you spent your date night looking at photos of your baby….100% relatable,” a fan wrote.

“Babies don’t sleep 8 hours, nope. You made it work though,” another said.

“It’s funny how life [changes] when you become a parent! You did good to stay out that long!” added a third.

“Yay, I’m going tomorrow night! Cannot wait! And high-five to you both for a night out already!” commented a fan.

“Glad you had a couple of hours to yourselves. My daughter was glued to me…lol. No time alone for this momma. Bec you are simply glowing,” observed another.
