Sonia Kruger has welcomed a beautiful baby girl, named Maggie Kruger McPherson with her partner, TV executive Craig McPherson.
Sonia, 49, announced the news via Instagram with an adorable snap of the newborn wearing the booties she first showed off when she first announced that she was pregnant. She wrote:
“Guess what…they fit! Little Maggie Kruger McPherson born this morning. #happybirthday #babygirl”
Not long after announcing the arrival of her baby girl, Sonia shared a beautiful snap of little Maggie wrapped in a hospital blanket and giving a little smile.
The happy news comes only a short time after Sonia’s Mornings co-host David Campbell and wife Lisa welcomed their newborn twins Billy and Betty on January 12th.
“Thankyou for all the beautiful messages. Looking forward to sharing some Maggie moments,” Sonia said alongside this beautiful photo of her newborn daughter.
Proud new mum Sonia first announced the surprise news that she was expecting a baby back in August last year via an Instagram post that read: “Hey everyone, here’s a fun fact. I’m having a baby.”
It was posted alongside a picture of a pair of her own shoes next to a pair of cute baby shoes.

“I’m filled with this amazing excitement,” the Today host and Big Brother presenter revealed to Woman’s Day at the time.
A week later, Sonia then confirmed that she was expecting a girl.
Not long after announcing her exciting news, Sonia compared bumps with Lisa Campbell – wife of her Mornings co-host David Campbell. The pair welcomed twins in early January.
Her exciting baby news was only made possible when a close friend offered to donate one of her eggs to Sonia.
“I happened to be talking to a girlfriend of mine and she knew what I’d been through,” Sonia said.
“As a bit of a joke I said, ‘This would all be solved if you gave me one of your eggs.’ And you know what? She came back and said, ‘OK’ without even thinking twice.”
It’s all thanks to that close friend that Sonia and her partner Craig Nine News executive Craig McPherson, 52, that they finally got their dream. The couple initially conceived naturally, only to miscarry in 2011, then there was another failed attempt at IVF using her own eggs in 2012.
We’re thrilled to finally be able to congratulate the happy couple on the arrival of their miracle baby!
Sonia posted this snap setting up the carseat for the baby in January as she and Craig counted down to the due date.
