Sunrise host Samantha Armytage reveals she gained 10kg during the honeymoon phase of her relationship with Richard Lavender
Samantha Armytage has shared a very relatable confession about gaining weight during the ‘honeymoon phrase’ of her relationship Richard Lavender.
Appearing on her new Something To Talk About podcast this week, the Sunrise host, 44, admitted she gained ’10 kilograms’ while inside her ‘love bubble’ with Richard and is yet to shed the extra weight.
Samantha made the confession during a discussion with interviewee Hugh Sheridan about his new relationship with TikTok star Kurt Roberts.

‘You are in the love bubble still, I imagine. But you’re still being productive,’ she said to Hugh, who is busy preparing for his new stage production called Hughman.
‘Because a lot of us, when we’re in the love bubble are not productive. In fact, I put on 10 kilos in the love bubble. So I didn’t do much at all,’ Samantha admitted.
‘I still haven’t lost them!’ she laughed, before following up with: ‘I’ve lost a bit!’

Samantha began dating Richard in April 2019, and announced their engagement in June 2020.
Her confession comes almost a year after Samantha reached out to fans struggling with weight gain during the coronavirus lockdown.
Posting to Instagram at the time, the TV personality admitted she’d also put on ‘a few kilos’ while in isolation, and encouraged others to not ‘beat themselves up’ over it.

‘I wanted to share or confess something to you all. I have put on a few kilos in this lockdown,’ Sam said.
‘I am not proud of that, but I rang the girls at the WW [Weight Watchers] office and they said ‘Sam, please share that because it’s happening to the best of us’.
‘I know we’re all spending lots of time stuck in doors and have spent a bit too much time staring into the fridge and its not an easy time, but don’t beat yourself too much if you, like me, have eaten a little bit too much cheese or whatever your vice is.’
Sam said she planned to address her weight and get her goals back in focus.
‘Hang in there, I’m not going to torture myself about this. I’m just going to wrangle it back and get back on track. So I just wanted to let you all know it’s okay, keep going.’
