David Muir has been in the spotlight recently due to his role as moderator for the presidential debate featuring Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, as well as his extensive reporting on Hurricane Milton in Florida.
The seasoned news anchor is also taking the opportunity to shine a light on some of his less-visible family members, many of whom share his passion for a creative lifestyle.
David Muir, recently shared a moment on his Instagram Stories to highlight a new post from his niece, Morel Malcolm. Morel, who is making strides in the film production industry, shared captivating glimpses from her family vacation in England.
Her sister Finan, a London resident, accompanied her, along with their mother, Rebecca Becky Muir. Becky, who is David’s sister, resides on a farm in upstate New York and shares her farming experiences in detail across social media platforms.
Morel is also connected to David’s close friends, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, through their daughter, Lola Consuelos, who proudly shares the title of New York University alumna.
The ABC News anchor has returned to his stunning $7 million lake house in upstate New York, a property he personally renovated. Here, he enjoys some well-deserved downtime with his loyal dog, Axel, far from the hustle and bustle of the ABC studios.
He had dedicated the last several days in Florida to covering the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Milton, collaborating with ABC News team members such as Ginger Zee and making appearances in urgent breaking news segments on Good Morning America.
Earlier this year, David Muir took the opportunity to enjoy some much-needed summer days in Europe, where he explored iconic tourist destinations alongside his family.
The subsequent events marked a whirlwind of activity for the host of World News Tonight with David Muir. He was entrusted with the significant responsibility of moderating the inaugural (and sole) debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump in September, alongside his colleague Linsey Davis.
He shared on LIVE with Kelly and Mark that he completely abandoned his summer plans after Kamala Harris declared her candidacy for the Oval Office in July, dedicating his time to research and prepare for the upcoming debate on ABC.
David Muir expressed to the hosts, who have been his friends for years, that they truly understand him. He acknowledged the significant preparation that went into the debate, revealing that he had been largely absent throughout the summer.
According to David Muir, “I pretty much vanished at the end of summer due to the pressure of this debate. Linsey and I, along with our dedicated small team at ABC, took this very seriously and invested a lot of time into it. We felt it was our responsibility to address the issues that matter to Americans.”
When Kelly inquired about how long it took him to recover from the chaos of that day, or if he had even managed to recover, David humorously replied, “This is my recovery, right here!”
