Former Sunrise host Samantha Armytage has set tongues wagging after being spotted enjoying several intimate outings with Canadian businessman Bear Myrden during his recent visit to Sydney.
The 47-year-old television personality, who left her high-profile morning show role in 2021, appeared relaxed and happy as she was photographed sharing laughs and casual dates with the mystery man around the city's eastern suburbs.
From Golden Bachelor to Real-Life Romance?
Armytage, who made headlines earlier this year with her appearance on Network 10's The Golden Bachelor, seems to have found potential romance off-screen. The pair were captured enjoying coffee dates, leisurely walks, and even a cosy lunch at a popular Bondi restaurant, displaying comfortable chemistry that suggests more than just friendship.
Myrden, described as a successful entrepreneur from Canada, flew into Sydney specifically to spend time with the media personality. Sources close to the pair indicate they've been getting to know each other for several weeks, with their connection growing stronger during his Australian visit.
A New Chapter for Samantha
Since stepping away from her Sunrise hosting duties after eight years, Armytage has embraced a quieter life, focusing on her podcast and rural interests. Her appearance on The Golden Bachelor earlier this year marked her return to television screens, though she ultimately didn't find lasting love on the reality dating show.
Friends of the broadcaster say she's been enjoying her post-breakfast television life, telling the Daily Mail: "Sam is really happy and content at the moment. She's embracing this new chapter in her life and seems to be having fun."
The pair were last seen enjoying a casual lunch at Bondi's renowned Italian restaurant, where they appeared completely at ease in each other's company, sharing conversation and laughter over their meal.
