She might be 38 but Sunrise breakfast host Samantha Armytage tells The Weekly she looks forward to having children but isn’t panicking yet.
“I’d like to have children and I don’t think that is impossible,” she tells The Australian Women’s Weekly, on sale Thursday.
“I’m not stressed about it, which tells me that I’m okay,” says Sam.
“I think I’m pretty clever, so if I knew I was running out of time I might start to panic a bit, but I’m not panicking yet. So I just have to trust my own body, that it will happen if it is meant to. I am very happy with my life.”
Nicole and Sam talked love and life in a morning interview on Seven’s Sunrise.
In fact, Hollywood legend Nicole Kidman gave Sam a special blessing on air, sending a wish to the universe to send love to Sam, just as Nicole found with Keith Urban.
Sam let out some girlish giggles while receiving Nicole’s “happily ever after” vibes.
And while career girl Sam is the current queen of breakfast TV she acknowledges the nation is obsessed with her body, so she is taking charge on the cover of The Weekly’s ‘Body Issue’.
“If everyone wants me in a swimsuit, it might as well be on my terms,” she proclaims of her amazing cover shoot.
“Two years ago, I’d go to the beach in my swimmers and nobody cared. They wouldn’t blink,” Sam says. “Now, I always think twice before going to Bondi. In fact, I can’t really swim there anymore.”
“The Weekly called me and asked me if I would do it. I’m not vain enough to think I am Gisele [model Gisele Bündchen], but I am also not lacking in confidence to think I’m not some type of scrubber who should not wear swimmers. Plus, I’ve never done a swimsuit shoot before. They are terrifying words together.
“I don’t describe myself as curvy. I’d describe myself as quite strong and healthy, nothing terribly flash. Take me as I am.”
Samantha is happy in her own skin, and is at ease at our shoot, laughing and joking with the photographer and makeup artist.
“I’m a TV host and a journalist, so it actually bamboozles me that people would care about me. If some woman out there reads my story and says, ‘I can relate to this girl’, or ‘I’m a size 12 too and made to feel bad about myself, so everyone else can just bugger off.'”
