Next she shared a photo of her sweet Labrador dog Banjo – who was the ‘best man’ at her wedding – stuck inside due to the rain. 

Sam also posted an image of herself and Richard inside a car, rugged up against the cold weather. 

Beaming, Sam wore a bucket hat and pale blue, woolen turtleneck jumper, while Richard looked relaxed in a black windbreaker.

In captioning the photo, Sam quoted some advice her late mother had given her, and said she was in a ‘new chapter’ of her life. 

She wrote: ‘”Edit your life frequently and ruthlessly. It’s your masterpiece after all.” My mum. And I did. 

The blonde added: ‘And this is what the next chapter looks like… ‘   

Sam officially signed off from Sunrise earlier this month, after an impressive eight-year run on Australia’s most popular breakfast show.

Her resignation announcement followed months of rumours she was preparing to spend more time with Richard at his country estate in the Southern Highlands.   

Sam started dating Richard in April 2019, and announced their engagement in June last year.

She tied the knot with the millionaire businessman on New Year’s Eve, in a quaint ceremony at his Southern Highlands home. 

Their intimate wedding ceremony featured only a small number of guests due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Richard’s daughters, Sasha and Grace, believed to be in attendance.
