Sunrise star David Koch and his wife Libby appear relaxed as they arrive at Sydney Airport – after the TV presenter leaves the popular breakfast show
David ‘Kochie’ Koch recently announced his retirement from Sunrise after hosting the popular breakfast show for 21 years.
And the television presenter appeared relaxed and happy on Sunday as he made his way through Sydney Airport with wife Libby.
The veteran TV presenter, 67, was all smiles as he made his way through the terminal as he rolled along with his luggage.
David was dressed casually in a black sweater and dark blue jeans, as well as leather dress shoes.
Libby also wore a light pink hoodie with a black shirt underneath and gray skinny jeans.

Kochie recently revealed why he and wife Libby never let fame get to their heads despite his success.
“We didn’t get caught up in that TV bubble that can lead you astray and give you an inflated opinion of yourself,” he told The Daily Telegraph.
“We’ve never had that before, and I’m grateful.”
Libby, Kochie’s wife of 44 years, also revealed to the publication that her husband actually asked her to keep him sober years ago.
“We talked about that when he started it. He was like, ‘You’ve got to keep me on the ground – and I know you’ll keep me in check,'” she said.
“I think because he’s so down to earth and just such a regular guy, it makes him more relatable and probably gave him the longevity of the job.”

Kochie and Libby have been married since 1979 and share four children, daughters Samantha, 42, Bree, 38, and Georgina, 32, and son Alexander, 35.
It comes days after Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed that Matt ‘Shirvo’ Shirvington will be crowned Kochie’s successor after a three-year plan to prepare him for the top job.
Insiders have revealed that his role will be made official on June 5, just four days before Kochie films his last show as a Sunrise host.
The new appointment follows a carefully curated training process for the popular TV presenter, 44, who is widely loved by Seven’s top executives and viewers.
It is clear that Kochie himself gave Shirvo his ‘blessing’.
“David believes Matt is a good fit for him and thinks he will do a fantastic job,” an insider told the Daily Mail Australia.
