Sunrise’s David ‘Kochie’ Koch and wife Libby FINALLY meet their sixth grandchild Ella

Sunrise host David ‘Kochie’ Koch and his wife Libby have finally met their sixth grandchild, Ella.

The breakfast TV anchor, 64, was previously unable to meet the seventh-month-old due to travel restrictions imposed amid the coronavirus pandemic.

On Wednesday, Kochie shared a joyous photo of wife Libby holding little Ella in her arms for the first time.

‘Definition of happiness. A grandma seeing her grandkids for the first time in 7 months because of border closures,’ Kochie captioned the post.

Libby couldn’t contain her grin, as Kochie joked: ‘How come I never get that look?’

Kochie had previously expressed great sadness over not being able to meet his newest grandchild when his daughter Brianna Jayasinghe gave birth to the baby girl in Perth in April.

Kochie shared three photos of the mother-of-three and her newborn daughter at the time on Instagram in celebration of the bundle of joy’s arrival. 

‘Welcome to the family Ella Hope Elizabeth Jayasinghe, you gorgeous little girl,’ Kochie captioned the sweet post.  

‘Grandchild number six, born in Perth and devastated we can’t be there for a cuddle.’

Sydney-based Kochie and his wife Libby were unable to travel to Western Australia at the time as the state shut the border earlier that week.

Ella Hope’s name has a special meaning amid these uncertain times, according to Kochie’s London-based daughter, Georgina.

‘My niece was born today and one of her middle names is Hope. I can’t wait to tell her how much that meant during this time,’ Georgie wrote on Twitter in April. 

Brianna also shares two sons with her husband CJ, eight-year-old Jax and four-year-old Teddy.   

David’s daughter Samantha Brown also has three children; Lila, nine, Oscar, 11, and Matilda, 13.
