“Even though I’m sad, and I’m doing everything I can right now not to look Monique in the eye, where I am right now is honestly a place of incredible gratitude for the laughs, the lessons, the tears.
“It is my unwavering belief that this role – specifically telling people’s most intimate, most personal stories – is one of the most privileged positions on earth.”
Matt will present his final episode of Weekend Sunrise together with Monique on Sunday, December 8.
The breakfast show host broke down in tears as he spoke about his friendship with his close colleague.
“Maan, you’re not just a colleague, you’re my best friend and I’m going to miss you, any chance for a hug?” he said.
In September – when Matt appeared on Morning Sunrise to launch his latest book, Mental State, about Australia’s mental health system – he bravely opened up about his own struggles with depression.
“Do you think it will get better, Doctor, if we raise our hands like you and say, ‘I have anxiety’?” Matt asked Dr. Cross.
‘I’ve also had huge problems with depression in recent years, but people are still, I think, afraid to come forward and say that.’

In September – when Matt appeared on Morning Sunrise to promote his latest book, Mental State, about Australia’s mental health system – he courageously opened up about his own struggles with depression.

“It’s amazing that you say that… the more we talk about it, the better it is,” Dr Cross said, praising Matt for speaking so openly about his depression on television.
Matt has sparked concern in recent years after mysteriously disappearing from work twice.
In June he failed to get to the Seven studios for work on Weekend Sunrise.
He was replaced by news reporter Chris Reason, who returned to host the breakfast show alongside Monique Wright on Saturday 8 June.
A network spokesperson told Ny Breaking Australia at the time that Matt was “on leave.”
A major Channel Seven star has been tipped to replace Doran following his shock on-air sacking.
Seven’s US correspondent David Woiwod, who lives in Los Angeles, is likely to take on the co-hosting role alongside Monique Wright, according to reports news.com.au.
The Melbourne-born reporter spent eight years at Channel Seven and was a reporter at Sunrise from 2016 to 2020.
He moved to Los Angeles in July 2020 to become the network’s US correspondent and was promoted to US Bureau Chief in April last year.
Woiwod has built a reputation for his engaging personality and cheeky banter when reporting.
In 2020, Woiwod was left red-faced while appearing on Sunrise when he mispronounced American actress Ellen DeGeneres’ name as “Allan.”
