Samantha Armytage has actually been dealing with spouse Richard Lavender in the nation for the previous couple of years.
But things got a little hot and steamy on Monday, with temperature levels in NSW going beyond 40C in some inland locations of the state.
Braving the heat in rural Bowral, the 46-year-old nestled in her car, and brought her dog along for the trip.
Sam cranked up the cooling to cool off and offered her cherished pooch Bango a much-needed blast of chill, too.
‘Under the aircon vents,’ she captioned a picture of Bango in the car, which she shared to Instagram Stories.
The previous Sunrise star, 46, explained in a brand-new interview that she and her spouse choose a peaceful life in the nation nowadays.
Samantha wed her doting partner Richard, 61, on New Years’ Eve in 2020 at his home in Bowral in the Southern Highlands.
After approving Sunrise in March 2021, she was changed by newsreader Natalie Barr, and has actually been taking pleasure in the countryside.
In July 2020, Samantha offered her North Bondi home in Sydney for $2.8million, which recommended she was preparing to transfer to Bowral full-time.
Richard owns a 40-hectare property in Bowral, while Samantha offered her Southern Highlands home for $3.1million in September 2020.
Last month, Sam left fans puzzled regarding why she isn’t continuing with her popular podcast, Something to Talk About.
Sam revealed she was ending the podcast in January, and would return with other ‘side hustles’ for fans.
Stellar’s editor-in-chief Sarrah Le Marquand will be changing Samantha as the brand-new host of the weekly podcast.
