“I don’t think anyone gets married to separate. It was gut-wrenching. But what I’m really proud of is how Tom and I have been able to work together for the kids,” she told Stellar magazine.
“It will probably look a bit different, but we’re always going to be a family and we’re always going to be connected by these two little people.”
The new family dynamic has been adjustment for Sarah’s two young children Paul, 6, and Harry, 4. However the host revealed she is determined to set a better example after not having a relationship with her own father.
“I’m so proud of how resilient they’ve been and how they know they’ve got two parents who absolutely love them more than anyone or anything else on the planet,” she said.
“It’s been good to keep that focus.”
Despite such hardships, Sarah’s recently announced position at The Project could be a fresh start.
“I did not see this coming,” Sarah revealed to Stellar.
“And I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. It’s such an incredible opportunity to step into some pretty huge shoes and be part of The Project’s next chapter.
Sarah is sad to be leaving Studio 10!
“I can’t wait to learn more, and have some fun with Waleed and the team. This is one of the biggest jobs in TV, and feels like a once-in-a-lifetime gig.”
However, in accepting the new job Sarah steps away from her position at Studio 10 where she hosted for 13 years. Sarah said the program will always feel like “family.”
“It’s tinged with a bit of sadness. Because I now step away from a show that’s been my baby for the better part of a decade,” she said.
“But the little show that could is still humming along and has some big plans for 2023, as well. And we’ll always be family.”
