This popular television presenter is an accomplished journalist of almost ten years and is currently the co-host of Today Extra with David Campbell.
The reporter, 39, was previously a co-host of Today before she moved on to Nine News and then A Current Affair.
She began her media career in 2005 with Nine in Brisbane as a script assistant in the newsroom, where she stayed for three years.
After a stint filing lifestyle stories on the Extra program, the mother-of-two landed a gig as a weekend weather presenter on Nine News Queensland in 2011.
The following year, she moved to Sydney to join Today as a reporter and worked her way up the ladder from there.
In 2014, she met her now husband Peter Stefanovic, the brother of Today host Karl Stefanovic, and the pair now share two sons – Henry, three, and Oscar, four.
Do you know who this beloved TV presenter is?
It’s Sylvia Jeffreys!
The Today Extra star shared a throwback photo of her school years in an article she penned for 9Honey on Tuesday.
In the black and white snap, a teenage Sylvia sported a huge smile as she donned her uniform hat from Brisbane State High School.
Sylvia shared the photo in a column where she wrote a review of the movie Inside Out 2 and likened it to her own feelings of anxiety as a young girl.
She said she often ‘grappled with some of the classic internal trash talk that runs through young, insecure minds’ growing up.
‘On the verge of entering grade 11, I wrote about the angst of matching board shorts to deck shoes, and my deeply held fear of not being selected for a representative netball team,’ she penned.
‘As the youngest of three siblings and nine cousins, my hand-me-down wardrobe did little to boost my confidence, while the braces I wore for almost two years placed me firmly in the friend zone with boys.
‘They are necessary and superficial things that you can fully appreciate as an adult but lament as an ungrateful, self-absorbed kid.’
