Jane Bunn looked noticeably different during a relaxed weekend outing in Melbourne, sparking plenty of reaction from viewers. But the Channel Seven favourite has previously revealed that the biggest change began months earlier, when she made a deeply personal decision to prioritise her wellbeing — a shift she says brought more energy, balance and happiness into her life.
Channel Seven weather presenter Jane Bunn has turned heads during a low-key weekend appearance in Melbourne, offering viewers a very different glimpse of the familiar television favourite away from the weather desk.
The 47-year-old meteorologist appeared relaxed and cheerful as she made her way through the city carrying a large bouquet of bright pink flowers — but it was another noticeable change that quickly became the focus of attention.
A very different Jane away from the cameras
Jane stepped out in a tailored pink blazer paired with jeans, tan loafers and a crisp white shirt, completing the casual look with a crossbody bag.
With her blonde hair worn loose around her shoulders, the Channel Seven star appeared to be enjoying some quiet time away from work as she walked through Melbourne with a smile.
It was a more relaxed picture of Jane than viewers are used to seeing on television — and her noticeably slimmer figure also attracted attention.
Her transformation has been unfolding for months
Jane first drew widespread attention for her changed figure when she attended the Brownlow Medal last year.
According to the report, her latest Melbourne appearance suggested that the transformation has continued since then.
The change has prompted a wide range of comments from followers, with some praising Jane’s new look while others admitted they missed the curvier image they had long associated with her.
Viewers had very different reactions
Among the supportive messages, one follower described Jane as looking “star quality,” while another said she appeared as though she was feeling “fabulous.”
Other viewers were more cautious, encouraging the presenter not to lose any more weight.
But while much of the public conversation has focused on what people can see, Jane has previously explained that the most meaningful part of the change was happening somewhere much less obvious.
Jane revealed what had changed behind the scenes
Speaking to the Herald Sun around the time of the Brownlow Medal, Jane said she had spent the previous months making her health a greater priority.
She explained that the shift had brought more energy and joy into her life, adding that she felt “strong, balanced and genuinely happy.”
Her comments offered a more personal perspective on a transformation that had otherwise largely been discussed through photographs and viewer reactions.
Her fitness routine was never entirely a secret
Jane had previously spoken about her approach to exercise during a 2022 interview with the Herald Sun.
At the time, she revealed that she regularly worked with a trainer and incorporated barre, Pilates and high-intensity interval training into her routine before going on air.
She also described herself as someone who enjoys keeping active, even joking that she could feel guilty if she slept too late on a Saturday.
A familiar face with a loyal following
Jane has built a devoted following over many years in Australian television, particularly in Melbourne.
Her profile grew after she moved from Sky News’ The Weather Channel to WIN News Victoria in 2009, before becoming one of Channel Seven’s most recognisable weather presenters.
Her latest appearance may have sparked conversation because of how different she looked away from television, but Jane’s own words suggest the chapter means far more to her than the change viewers noticed first.
