David Muir openly acknowledges the many blessings in his life, with a significant portion of his gratitude directed towards his cherished family. The star has gained widespread recognition for bringing the news to American households, but his sister, Rebecca Muir, has chosen a distinct path, managing a farm in Borodino, New York.
David rarely offers a peek into his life away from the public eye, but one constant presence in that world is his elder sister.
The renowned journalist has referred to his sister as “stunning” and “awesome,” and in his latest Instagram update featuring her, fans were quick to point out their striking resemblance.
David and Rebecca Muir have both inherited their parents’ striking features and impressive bone structure, leading fans to remark, “You look like twins!” and “Your sister is stunning!”
David Muir, the host of 20/20, comes from a blended family, which includes two younger step-siblings from his father’s second marriage. This unique family dynamic has made him an uncle to a vibrant group of nieces and nephews, affectionately referred to as his “squad.” Additionally, Rebecca and her husband are proud parents to three daughters and a son.
David shares a deep bond with his family, and last year, he experienced a truly proud uncle moment. He had the joy of witnessing his niece, Rebecca’s daughter, Finan Malcolm, graduate from Cornell University. This milestone was especially significant after a year-long wait caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
He created quite a buzz among his fans by posting a photo of his charming nephew, who bears a striking resemblance to David.
The celebrity and his sister hail from Syracuse, New York, where he still owns an incredible lakeside estate, and they spent their childhood in the charming neighbourhood of Onondaga Hills.
Ronald Muir and Pat Mills, his parents, separated during his childhood; however, they maintained a friendly co-parenting relationship.
David’s mother relocated to Skaneateles, yet even with the distance, his parents continued to co-parent their children collaboratively.
David shared his memories in an interview with Syracuse.com, recalling how his parents would drive him to the television studios during his internship.
According to David Muir, “One of the most unforgettable memories I have is of my parents taking me on summer vacations or during school breaks. I vividly recall how, while other kids were off enjoying their activities, I would plead with my friends to take me to that TV station. I can only imagine how much they dreaded the request. It was always a team effort between them to ensure I got there. Even now, I hold a deep appreciation for their willingness to drive me to 980 James St.”
