He might be the busiest man in the entertainment industry but Grant Denyer is still just a doting dad at heart.
When he’s not gracing our airwaves, you can find Grant on his property in Bathurst in country NSW with his wife Chezzi Denyer and their three daughters Sailor, nine, and Scout, five, and eight-week-old Sunday.
Despite Grant’s busy work schedule, the 43-year-old is determined to be as present as possible.
“My greatest concern is not being able to observe every single waking moment with those growing little monsters,” Grant explained to TV WEEK.
“Time is going so fast, and they’re evolving so quickly in front of my eyes. I don’t want to miss a thing – and as a parent, my greatest paranoia is, ‘Am I focusing on work too much?'”

“In the hours we’re together, we muck around, jump on the trampoline, play with the dolls’ house or run outside with the dog. We ride quad bikes together; we go on little adventures. I’m deeply protective of ensuring that we have a balance, because it’s not a game you want to get wrong. It’s about making that time count,” he said.
Becoming a father to Sailor, Scout and Sunday is Grant’s proudest achievement to date.
“They’re very funny, cheeky and very compassionate and they’ve got that right amount of spunk about them. I’m totally besotted by them and in love!”
Grant credits his wife and children to helping him through his past struggles with depression and prescription drugs.
“It was a time where I didn’t really give a sh-t whether I lived or died. I felt like I had nothing to live for. That is the only thing that kept me going at my worst, the fact I had someone that loved me and depended on me, and I could not let her down and I think that is possibly the only thing that got me through,” he told The Daily Telegraph.
This year, the Denyer clan’s precious family unit welcomed its newest family member – Sunday Mary Mae Denyer, and the smitten parents couldn’t be more thrilled with their baby girl.
