It wouldn’t be entirely correct to say that David Muir isn’t, and never has been, married. After all, while he’s never made it official with a partner, it’s pretty clear that newscasting is the one true love of his life — and he dedicates his all to it. In fact, speaking to his hometown publication, Syracuse.com, in 2014, he admitted, “I often work seven days a week [but] I’m not looking for a pat on the back because I love what I do.”
George Stephanopoulos’ rumored rival wasn’t exaggerating. In an interview with USA Today, he shared that while, no day looks the same as the next in his line of work, one thing that has remained pretty standard across the board is his jam-packed schedule. Muir explained that hours of preparation went into each newscast… but that at the end of the day, anything could change, and he needs to stay dialed-in, at all times. “There’s no such thing as building a lineup early in the day and delivering that newscast at 6.30,” he pointed out.

For that reason, Muir is the first to admit that fostering a family of his own is not exactly an option. As he shared in his Syracuse.com interview, he once even had to re-home his dog, Pryor, with his sister after he realized he would not be able to give him the attention he deserved. (Hey, even dream jobs can have their downsides!)
