Inside Natalie Barr's private life: Sunrise host, 53, proudly introduces her teenage sons and says her 'family comes first' as she stuns on the cover of The Australian Women's Weekly

Notoriously private Sunrise host Natalie Barr has offered a rare glimpse into her family life in an interview with this month's Australian Women's Weekly

The Channel Seven presenter, 53, appears on the cover of the magazine with her rarely seen teenage sons, Lachlan, 19, and Hunter, 16.

And in a wide-ranging chat, Natalie opened up about her life away from breakfast television and revealed why her family always 'comes first'.

'I may have this amazing career, but Andrew and the boys come first,' she said, referring to her husband, film editor Andrew Thompson.

Natalie added that working in breakfast TV allows her to juggle motherhood and her career because she can be a 'full-time mum for the rest of the day' once her shift ends.

'I could be with them and watch them grow up every day. In that way, it was magical,' the former newsreader-turned-anchor said.

She also said that as her sons grow up, her only wish is for them to have a good life and to be 'happy and healthy'.

Natalie and Andrew have been married since 1995, and she was working for Seven when she welcomed both her children.

She previously said that communication was the secret to a happy marriage.

'We talk a lot, all day, every day. One of the top things for us has always been respect – to respect what the other wants to do,' Natalie told The Sydney Morning Herald.

'Also, to give one another space and to talk about how you're feeling, where you want to go in life, and to be honest.'

Natalie was promoted to Sunrise co-anchor alongside David 'Kochie' Koch in March, following the departure of Samantha Armytage.
