Sonia Kruger looks effortlessly stylish as she makes rare public appearance with partner Craig McPherson at Sydney Airport ahead of family holiday

Sonia Kruger looked effortlessly stylish as she and her partner Craig McPherson made a rare public appearance together at Sydney Airport on Friday.

The Big Brother presenter, 58, walked through the airport with her partner of 16 years and daughter Maggie, eight, following closely behind.

Sonia looked incredibly chic in a matching black patterned silk set, which she teamed with a black crop top.

Craig, an executive at Seven Network, looked focused as they headed to the departure lounge to fly to an undisclosed location.

Sonia's long blonde hair was tied in a bun and she completed her look with stylish sunglasses and a gray handbag.

Sonia and her family were seen making their way to the check-in counter before their flight.

The Strictly Ballroom star started dating Craig in 2008 when they both worked at Seven, before welcoming daughter Maggie in 2015.

Craig has six children from a previous relationship.

Sonia admitted last year that their romance started slowly.

She told The Anj, Rob & Robbo Show that she and Craig had many heated arguments when he was her boss on current affairs show Today Tonight, several years before they started dating.

But years later she got to know a different side to Craig, after leaving Today Tonight to host the reality show Dancing with the Stars.

Sonia revealed that her former boss – who is now head of news and current affairs at Seven – contacted her when her father was very ill in hospital.

“He had obviously heard about it and sent me a very nice message,” she said. “And from that moment on we started talking and reconnecting.”
