For a woman who spent months longing for exactly this moment, the catch-up was more than just a friendly visit. It was a promise kept, a circle closed, and a gentle reminder that some goodbyes are only ever temporary.
The 39-year-old presenter posted a series of photos from the catch-up with Danika Mason, Jayne Azzopardi and Tim Davies, marking a particularly meaningful moment after her earlier-than-planned departure from the breakfast show.
Sarah reunites with familiar Today faces
Sharing the photos on Instagram, Sarah captioned the moment simply:
“Cuddles for breakfast 🍼🥐”
It was the perfect line for a woman whose entire professional life has been built around early mornings, and whose personal life has now given the phrase an entirely new, far softer meaning.
The group appeared rugged up for the cooler weather as they gathered around baby Sonny, who was dressed in a beige onesie and beanie.
The images radiated warmth, with the newborn at the centre of a huddle of colleagues who have become something far closer than coworkers.
Tim Davies and Jayne Azzopardi were pictured taking turns holding the newborn, while Danika Mason was seen gently holding his hand.
Each photo told its own small story of a workplace family welcoming its newest, tiniest member.
Sarah also thanked Tim’s mother, Kate, for adding another personal touch to the gathering.
“And a special thanks to Timmy’s gorgeous mumma Kate, who baked a delicious slice and cookies for us 🍪🍰,” she wrote.
The catch-up appeared to take place in Melbourne, with other members of the Today team also responding warmly to the photos.
The comments section quickly filled with the kind of affection that only a genuine workplace family can produce.
Sylvia Jeffreys commented, “Yeah squad! ❤️🔥,” while entertainment reporter Renee Bargh wrote, “Aww so sad i missed this.”
One follower described the group as “the best little tv fam”, adding that the reunion was “so very special”.
It was a sentiment echoed across the comments, as viewers who have watched these presenters share a desk for years recognised that this was not a staged photo opportunity.
It was a real, tender moment between people who genuinely care for one another.
A meeting that carried extra meaning
The latest reunion came only weeks after Sarah had spoken about missing the chance to farewell her colleagues properly before beginning maternity leave.
That context is what transforms a sweet set of photos into something far more emotionally resonant.
She had originally been expected to step away from Today in August 2026, but left the show earlier after experiencing pregnancy-related health complications.
The sudden change of plans meant the carefully choreographed send-off she had imagined never happened.
Sarah later revealed that she had spent time in and out of hospital and had been instructed to remain on bed rest under the care of doctors, nurses and midwives.
Her health, and that of her unborn son, had to come first.
As a result, she was unable to return to the studio for the final goodbye she had hoped to share with the team.
For someone who considers her colleagues family, that absence clearly weighed heavily.
“I tried everything”
After Sonny’s birth, Sarah appeared on Today via video call and spoke openly about how much she had wanted to see her colleagues before leaving the show.
Her words at the time were raw, honest and deeply moving.
“Know that I tried everything.
I tried to break free out of hospital to get there on the couch just to say goodbye to you one last time.
But I couldn’t, and I’m so sorry about it, doctor’s orders,” she said.
The image of a presenter desperately wanting to escape a hospital bed just to hug her workmates goodbye said everything about the bond she shares with the team.
She then added:
“But I’ll be seeing you all soon, you’ll be able to meet the man and I can’t wait.”
Those words now carry a different meaning following the latest photos, with several of her colleagues finally getting the chance to meet Sonny in person. The promise made over a video call has now been fulfilled in the warmest possible way.
Sarah shares a glimpse of life with Sonny
Sarah welcomed Sonny, her first child with husband Cyrus Moran, in July 2026.
His arrival marked the beginning of an entirely new chapter for the presenter, one she has been documenting with her trademark humour and honesty.
In an earlier update about her first weeks as a mother, she joked that she was “still waking up at 3am… but for very different reasons!”
It was a line that landed perfectly with anyone who knows the grueling early starts required of a breakfast television presenter.
The alarm clock hasn’t changed. The reason for it has.
She also revealed she had been enjoying prosciutto and soft cheese “on repeat” after missing the foods during pregnancy.
Small joys, long deferred, now being savoured one slice at a time.
For now, Sarah has not announced a specific date for a return to the Today desk.
And given the precious months ahead, there is no rush.
Her latest update instead captures a more personal kind of reunion — one that appears to bring full circle a moment she had been looking forward to since leaving the studio earlier than planned.
Sarah Abo facetimed her colleagues at Today to share the exciting news with Australia.
Now, she has done something even better. She has let them hold it.
