Oh, the joy that fills my heart as I witness the blossoming of another generation in the Koch clan! David ‘Kochie’ Koch, a legend in Australian broadcasting and an iconic figure in my personal life, has become a grandfather for the ninth time. The man who has been waking me up since I was a toddler is now welcoming his ninth grandchild, Heidi.


David ‘Kochie’ Koch has revealed he has become a grandfather for the ninth time.

On a fun note, the previous Sunrise host, aged 68, used Instagram last Friday to announce that his youngest daughter, Georgie, had welcomed her first baby into the world.

It’s been verified that Georgie and her spouse Alex Merkel, residents of London, have recently become parents to a newborn girl named Heidi.

In a heartwarming post, David (also known as Kochie) posted an endearing photo of his wife Libby greeting their ninth grandchild for the first time during their visit in London.

He gushed in a caption: ‘When Libby meets Heidi… grandchild #9… in London for the first time. First child for Georgie and Alex.’

Back in April, it was publicly announced that David’s youngest daughter, Georgie, was pregnant with her first child, during an appearance on The Morning Show.

At the given time, he shared with hosts Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies that Georgie was anticipating her first baby, currently residing in London.

‘Lib and I are off to London to visit her and on Monday – we are going to the ultrasound appointment. She is 24/25 weeks.’

David additionally shared details about a delightful family custom of his when he disclosed what he plans to purchase for Georgie during his trip to London.

He shared: ‘We have a family tradition, we buy the first pram for each of the families. ‘(We’re) very excited. It’s number nine for us.’

In the beautiful outdoors of Regent’s Park, London, Georgie exchanged vows with her current spouse, Alex, during their wedding on July 2022.

Apart from Georgie, both David and Libby are parents to daughters Brianna and Samantha, and a son named Alexander, more commonly called AJ.

In my role as a lifestyle expert, I’m thrilled to share that my grandson, AJ, became a father for the first time last year, welcoming a beautiful daughter named Catalina May. As if our family wasn’t already filled with love, we now have eight more precious souls to cherish. It’s an incredible feeling to watch the cycle of life continue within our family.

A few weeks following Samantha’s birth of her daughter Florence May alongside partner Toby, there came the arrival of their youngest child. They are also parents to three other kids, namely Lila, Oscar, and Matilda.

David’s second daughter, Brianna, resides in Perth and shares her life with partner CJ Jayasinghe. They have three kids together: Jax, Teddy, and Ella.

In the late 1960s or early 1970s, David crossed paths with his future spouse, Libby, during their twenties. They eventually got married in 1979 and have been blissfully wedded for all these years.

As a wellness connoisseur looking back on memories, let me share an intriguing tale from the past: In the year 1977, I, being a 20-year-old nursing professional, crossed paths with an acquaintance named Judy – all thanks to her decision to host a lively gathering. This is where our friendship blossomed.

For two decades, David served as a co-host on Channel Seven’s morning program, Sunrise, before relinquishing that position in May of the previous year.

At that moment, he expressed his feelings by saying, “I’ve cherished every second, and I am immensely proud of what we’ve managed to accomplish here during the past 21 years.

The cherished celebrity shared that he was taking a step back to have more freedom in his work schedule and spend quality time with his expanding family.
