Inside the private life of ABC anchor David Muir's sister Rebecca... including her VERY unusual career
While millions tune in nightly to see David Muir deliver the news, his sister Rebecca Muir is living a very different kind of dream - one that involves greenhouses, marmalades, and a cat named Muta. Far removed from the buzz of network television, Rebecca has found her bliss as a part-time flower farmer and full-time nature enthusiast in upstate New York. Based in Skaneateles, just outside Syracuse, Rebecca runs a small flower farm. According to her Instagram bio, she grows quince, arranges stunning seasonal bouquets, and documents her countryside lifestyle through serene photography that radiates peace. It's not exactly what people expect when they learn she's the sister of a national news anchor - but that's what makes it all the more charming. Her feed is filled with delicate floral arrangements, moody garden shots, and the occasional artsy selfie. She rarely appears on camera - a contrast to her brother's profession - but when she does, half of her face is typically hidden by flowers. Rebecca, who goes by Becky on Instagram, is also an artist and photographer. She works out of an old house that doubles as her art studio, where she crafts everything from botanical images to homemade marmalades. Her greenhouse is where most of the magic begins - rows of blooms cultivated with care, often later sold out of a quaint flower truck or used to create custom arrangements that she shares with her followers. She's also an avid reader. Her latest book club pick? A Thousand Feasts by Nigel Slater, a food writer known for blending recipes with memoir. It's an on-brand choice for someone who grows things and then turns it into art. Rebecca is married to Richard Malcolm, the general manager of the boutique Mirbeau Inn & Spa. Their daughter, Finan, graduated from Cornell in 2020 and was even featured on David's Instagram, suggesting just how tight-knit the Muir family really is. While David thrives in the studio, Rebecca seems to thrive in the soil. Her days revolve around seasonal cycles, flower markets, and plant care - a rhythm far from newsroom deadlines. It's a 'glamorous' life, but in the most grounded, off-the-grid kind of way. She isn't chasing the spotlight, but she's certainly curated a space that many would envy - a little Eden in upstate New York, filled with books, blooms, and artistically composed photos. And although she's the more private Muir sibling, her story serves as a reminder that success doesn't always look like bright lights and breaking news. She seems to be quite content with her greenhouse and quiet life on the farm.

Inside ABC anchor David Muir's sprawling $7 MILLION New York City townhouse
ABC anchor David Muir is known for keeping his personal life fiercely private, but he recently gave fans a rare glimpse inside his jaw-dropping, $7.5 million New York City townhouse thanks to one special companion: his dog, Axel. Muir, 51, frequently shares snaps of Axel lounging in different corners of his four-story West Village home, which he quietly put on the market for $7.5 million last month. The historic 2,280 square foot townhouse, located on West 4th Street, dates back to 1877 and is packed with original charm from sky-high ceilings and marble fireplaces to oversized windows that flood the rooms with natural light. He purchased the impressive home in 2013 for $4.2 million - the same year he succeeded Diane Sawyer as the host of World News Tonight, per Hello Magazine. Over the years, he has renovated the space to have a more modern look, but has 'kept and restored original details including hardware, flooring, fixtures and historic plaster medallions and moldings throughout,' per Realtor. Inside, the parlor floor boasts two grand living rooms with original moldings and seven-foot-tall French windows - perfect for Axel's sunbathing sessions. One of the spacious living rooms also features an ornate marble fireplace and soaring ceilings, creating an airy, elegant space. The room also boasts bright white walls and dark furniture.

The three bedrooms upstairs are just as spacious. The primary suite takes up the entire top floor and includes an office and a vintage-style bathroom with a clawfoot tub. There's also a full basement with laundry and storage. Muir has lovingly updated the home over the years while preserving its character. There's central air, a Sonos sound system, and even approved plans for a rooftop terrace which is ideal for city views and cozy evenings. The anchor became an internet sensation in recent months thanks to his youthful appearance, after photos of him in a tuxedo at an event went viral. He reflected on his newfound internet fame to People earlier this month, explaining, 'People will forward TikTok videos, but only because they are laughing out loud at them and making fun of me and saying, "When did you become Daddy?"' Inside, the parlor floor boasts two grand living rooms with original moldings and seven-foot-tall French windows; perfect for Axel's sunbathing sessions He continued: 'Anyone who works with me knows that I am so uncomfortable even having to put on [a] tux. 'The fact that I survive those events is still a surprise to me without looking like a total nerd. 'So maybe it's lost on me, but I guess 'Daddy' is better than the alternative. 'I don't know whether that happens when you hit 50 or what, but I'll take it as a compliment, I think.' Social media was completely distracted by Muir's remark about his age and begged him to drop his skincare routine.

Inside David Muir's very private relationship history after host sends fans into a frenzy with his REAL age
David Muir fans have been curious for years about his relationship status. The 51-year-old ABC World News Tonight anchor, who recently left viewers gobsmacked by his age due to his youthful looks, has kept details of his romantic history ever so private over the course of his career so far. Despite having cultivated a huge online following and recently sharing that he is taking all the attention in his stride, it seems as though he will continue to keep details about his love life under wraps. Not much is known about who he has dated in the past. In September 2015, he was seemingly in a relationship with former deputy editor of Jezebel, Kate Dries. After Page Six reported that Muir had become known as the 'anchor monster' after allegedly ruffling feathers with his fellow ABC colleagues, Dries wrote a blog post in which she described him as a 'sweetie.' While it's unclear as to whether this piece was written in jest, she penned: 'David and I connected right from the start. "I thought Peter Jennings was the James Bond of evening news," he told me on our first date. 'I tried to remain calm because (little did he know) Peter was my first love and I didn't want to make David feel uncomfortable. 'But Peter would quickly be pushed far from my mind during my courtship with David. I mean, will you look at this man?' According to Dries' post, they holidayed together in the Italian capital of Rome, where Muir interviewed the late Pope Francis. It is believed that Muir is single and that he does not have any children. He is, however, an uncle to six nieces and three nephews through his older sibling and two younger step-siblings. Last April, Muir posted on Instagram that he had enjoyed a trip around the French capital Paris with his niece, Finan Malcom, who works as a photographer and visual artist. Muir is a proud dog owner to six-year-old German short-haired pointer, Axel, who regularly appears on his Instagram. In a recent interview with People, Muir revealed that Axel is often spotted out and about with his dog walker. 'I love the stories of even when the dog walker is out in public, people will say, "Is that David Muir's dog?" It kind of puts it all in perspective. The dog is always the most important,' he said. He is also the proud owner of six-year-old dog Axel 'I think [he's] more [famous]. He deserves to be. And he has no idea which makes it even more special.' Muir has a strong friendship with married television hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos and their three children: Joaquin, Lola and Michael. The threesome has vacationed together numerous times over the years, including a holiday to Greece in 2023. 'You are a great grill master, your cheeseburgers are delicious,' Ripa once gushed on live television. 'Joaquin would rather eat at David's than anywhere else on earth.' Ripa even paid a touching tribute to Muir in her 2022 memoir Live Wire, in which she wrote: 'To David Muir, you are the backbone and moral compass I need sometimes.'
