As host of Channel Seven breakfast show Sunrise, she is used to going to bed early and rising at the crack of dawn. 

So it was hardly surprising that Samantha Armytage appeared rather tired as she jetted into Sydney with her new boyfriend Richard Lavender late on Monday night.

Returning from a romantic weekend away on Hamilton Island, the 43-year-old looked weary as she strolled through the airport.

Sam went makeup free for the flight, wearing a white T-shirt and matching linen trousers that showcased her recent 10kg weight loss. 

Opting for comfort over style, the veteran journalist accessorised with a beige cardigan and a pair of canvas sneakers.

She completed her off-duty look by pulling her blonde hair back in a simple chignon.

Sam carried a tote bag emblazoned with the logo of Qualia resort, a Hamilton Island hotel where the couple are rumoured to have stayed over the weekend. 

The television personality is no stranger to Qualia, where rooms cost upwards of $4,750 per night, having spent time there as recently as October last year. 

Meanwhile, equestrian Richard dragged his girlfriend's suitcase alongside his own.

Aside from ritzy accessories and lavish holidays, Sam and Richard also share a passion for the great outdoors.

According to Woman's Day, the pair spend most weekends together in Richard's home town of Bowral, where Sam happens to own a $2.2million five-bedroom property.  

'Everyone in the Highlands is talking about Sam and Richard,' an insider said.

Last June, Sam confirmed to Who magazine that she had met someone special, but didn't provide any further details.

'There are good things happening… I don't talk about anyone before I'm 100 per cent sure, because you have to keep some things private,' she said.

Around this time, Sam also revealed on The Kyle and Jackie O Show that even her Sunrise co-host David Koch didn't know the name of her 'mystery man'. 

'I'm happy to talk about everything except the secret lover!' she said.
