David Koch, known as Kochie, announced on The Morning Show that he is set to become a grandfather for the ninth time. His youngest daughter, Georgie, who lives in London, is expecting her first child with her husband Alex Merkel. Kochie and his wife Libby are planning to fly to London to accompany Georgie to her ultrasound appointment. The family has a tradition of buying the first pram for each new family member, and Kochie shared his excitement about becoming a grandfather once again.
Georgie, who married Alex in 2022, will be adding to the growing family which already includes Kochie’s other children. His son AJ welcomed a daughter named Catalina May in 2021, while daughter Samantha had a daughter named Florence May around the same time. Another daughter, Brianna, who lives in Perth, has three children with her partner. Kochie and Libby have been married since 1979, and they are excited to welcome another grandchild into their expanding family.
Kochie and Libby met in their 20s and got married in 1979. They have shared their joy in watching their family grow over the years, with Georgie’s baby marking the ninth grandchild for the couple. Kochie was a longtime co-host of the breakfast show Sunrise on Channel Seven for 21 years until he stepped down from the role. He expressed pride in the show’s achievements and his decision to step back was motivated by a desire for more flexible working hours and to spend time with his family.
Georgie’s pregnancy adds to the excitement for Kochie and Libby as they look forward to becoming grandparents once again. The family tradition of buying the first pram for each new baby showcases the close bond and love that the family shares. With his three other children already parents to eight kids, Kochie is thrilled to welcome another grandchild into the family. The announcement on The Morning Show was met with enthusiasm and joy from Kochie as he eagerly anticipates the arrival of his ninth grandchild.
The news of Georgie’s pregnancy comes after an already eventful period for the Kochie family, with several grandchildren being born in recent years. The close-knit family continues to grow, with each new addition bringing joy and love to Kochie and his wife Libby. As they prepare to travel to London to be with Georgie for her ultrasound appointment, the couple is filled with excitement and happiness at the prospect of welcoming another grandchild into their lives. Despite stepping back from his role on Sunrise, Kochie remains a dedicated family man, prioritizing time with his loved ones as they celebrate this new chapter in their lives.
