There’s a brand new reason to smile in the Sunrise family, with popular reporter Liam Tapper announcing the arrival of his second child – a beautiful baby girl named Josie!

The 33-year-old Seven Network star and his wife Georgia welcomed their newest bundle of joy recently. Josie is now the adorable little sister to the couple’s first daughter, Maya, who is already embracing her new role as big sister.

The heartwarming news was shared on Sunrise by hosts Nat Barr and Matt Shirvington. “Liam says Georgia was a superstar in labour,” Shirvington told viewers, as the team beamed with excitement. Barr added: “Josie is a little sister for Maya, who is already loving being a big sister. We’re looking forward to meeting Josie real soon.”

Well-wishes poured in from Tapper’s colleagues and fans alike.

“Josie! Welcome to the world sweet girl. We’re thrilled for you all and look forward to a babycino sometime soon,” Sunrise weatherman Sam Mac wrote.

“She’s here!! Looks like Josie already has her pussycats wrapped around her tiny finger. Congrats to you all,” said The Morning Show’s Kylie Gillies.

Larry Emdur added his signature charm to the moment, sharing, “Huge congrats to you all … lots of luv.” And in true Emdur fashion, he jokingly lamented on air, “(I’m) very upset, he (Liam) did say he was going to name the baby Kylie so whatever.”

Tapper, a regular contributor to The Morning Show, recently gave fans a glimpse into his happy home life, sharing a sweet Father’s Day moment in May. “Maya and I spent the afternoon painting these mugs from Georgia … Safe to say my cup is very full,” he wrote.

Now, with little Josie in their arms, that cup is fuller than ever.
