David Muir may be married to his job, but he finds ways to spend quality time with his family — even if that means combining the two. In May 2016, he took his mother, Pat Mills, to a White House state dinner. “Fancy state dinner once — but I prefer her meatballs and sauce,” he wrote. Mills and David’s father, Ronald Muir, separated when he was young but continued to raise him and his sister, Rebecca, as a united front.
Even after separating, the two often drove David to Chanel 5, where he volunteered and later interned. “One of the images I won’t forget is my mother and my father driving me there on summer vacation or school breaks,” he said in the Syracuse.com interview. David also remained close with his dad. “Thank you Dad for that last sip of coffee — and for your kindness all these years,” David captioned a 2018 Instagram photo that showed him as a kid sipping from his father’s cup.
Mills and Ronald’s efforts can be seen in the bond David shares with Rebecca. David often spends holidays with her and her family, and he never misses an opportunity to celebrate her. “Blessed with a deep soul since childhood,” he wrote on Instagram in 2018. David’s love for Rebecca pours into her two daughters and son, whom he clearly adores. “My squad left. Sent the nieces and nephew back to school,” he captioned a 2017 selfie of the four together.
