Today show host Sarah Abo has given birth to a baby boy after departing the morning news show early for maternity leave.
Sarah shared the exciting news on Instagram and also revealed her son’s adorable name.
“Hi there, you can call me Sonny,” the post began. “What a week with our little man. He came into the world a little early but that gave us a little longer to marvel at you, our beautiful boy.”
“We love you so infinitely darling,” Sarah continued. “And to the incredible doctors and midwives who made hospital home for two weeks – thank you for taking such good care of us, you are all angels and we are forever grateful.”
Sarah was originally meant to start her maternity leave in August 2026, however, on July 15 she announced she’d be leaving early because of health complications related to her pregnancy. By the sounds of it, Sarah gave birth to little Sonny just days after starting her leave.
Sarah makes surprise appearance on Today with Sonny
Sonny may only be a week old, but he’s already in the limelight! Sarah surprised viewers with a visit with her new son during Friday morning’s episode.
“We’re going well. This little man is about a week old,” she told the Today hosts. “He came into the world a week early, our gorgeous boy, but I guess that gave us a week more to love you.”
She shared that Sonny looked just like his dad Cyrus Moran. “We’ve been calling him CJ the whole time,” she said.
Sarah explained that they decided to wait a week to announce the birth publicly because they’ve “been in our own little bubble the past week, which has been such a treat.”
