Samantha Armytage can’t get enough of her stylish straw hat as she and husband Richard Lavender arrive back in Sydney after celebrating her 48th birthday in Noosa

Samantha Armytage and her husband Richard Lavender looked refreshed and refreshed as they arrived back in Sydney on Thursday after a day out in Noosa.

The lovebirds were seen having the most fun after their fun in the sun in honor of the former Famer Wants A Wife host’s 48th birthday.

The former Sunrise presenter looked summery chic in a lavender blouse and khaki trousers, which she teamed with a straw hat that has quickly become her favourite.

After receiving several compliments from fans on Instagram about the farmhouse-style accessory, Sam claimed it was her mom’s and wore it throughout her Noose outing.

Sam carried a brown handbag strapped across her body and also a large beach bag on her arm, while she donned a pair of brown sandals.

Meanwhile, Richard, her husband of four years, wore a simple white linen shirt and khaki shorts.

As the couple stepped outside, Sam hid her eyes behind dark sunglasses as she packed the car for the drive home.

The former Seven star, who recently announced her surprise departure from the network, appeared in good spirits after her holiday in Queensland.

Last week she toasted her special day with a glass of bubbly at Bistro C in Noosa, a popular eatery with stunning ocean views.

In true birthday spirit, Sam shared the joyful moment with her followers on Instagram.

“Happy Birthday to me. I love Bistro C. 48 will be amazing, I’m sure you’ll all agree,” she wrote alongside an image of a champagne flute and a glass of beer.

She completed her look with large black sunglasses and the stylish straw sun hat, which has now become her favourite accessory.

Sam’s relaxed demeanor indicated she was fully prepared for the next chapter in her life after leaving Channel Seven.

Last year she became the face of popular dating show Farmer Wants A Wife, after appearing as a host for the first time alongside former presenter Natalie Gruzlewski.

Sam shocked fans last month by announcing she was quitting Seven after 21 years and leaving FWAW for a major career change.

She described the departure as “sad and ambivalent” and told The Daily Telegraph she felt her time was up and was excited about her future.

However, a source claimed that Sam threw in the towel after two seasons as FWAW presenter because Seven wanted to cut her salary, according to Women’s Day.

After 21 years at Seven, where her salary reportedly rose to $500,000 a year, Sam’s agents are said to have scheduled meetings with Nine and Ten.
