New fiancé, new hair! Sunrise host Sam Armytage looks radiant as she shows off her fresh fringe after getting engaged to Richard Lavender

Despite her early starts, Sam Armytage always looked primped to perfection while hosting Channel Seven’s Sunrise.

And on Friday, the 43-year-old breakfast TV anchor looked particularly glamorous as she showed off her fresh new fringe.

Sam, who announced her engagement to horse breeder Richard Lavender last month, showed off her sandy tresses and slightly off-centre parting as she broadcast live from Brekky Central.

Sam had shared a selfie with celebrity hair stylist Rosemary Saffioti on Thursday.

During her glam session, she wore makeup comprising bronzed cheeks and a hint of blush, as well as lashings of mascara and matte pink lipstick. 

Sam is no stranger to getting her hair and makeup done early in the morning.

Samantha has been co-hosting the show with David ‘Kochie’ Koch since 2013, but recently reduced her on-air duties to four days a week, from Tuesday to Friday.

She told the Australian Women’s Weekly in June that she’d decided to focus on her private life and put her health first after years in the fast lane.

‘I wanted to prioritise my life, my health, my private life and my happiness over work,’ she explained.

The change of pace comes after Sam announced her engagement to equestrian businessman Richard Lavender.

She told Kochie on air last month that her fiancé had proposed on the spur of the moment ‘weeks ago’ in the paddock of his rural property in the Southern Highlands.

The journalist said they’d held back the announcement because they were waiting for the personalised ring to arrive.

Samantha and Richard, who began dating in April last year after meeting at a party, confirmed their romance to WHO magazine in November.
