A TV Star Who Remains Alone
David Muir – the familiar face of World News Tonight on ABC – has long been adored by American viewers for his polished looks, deep voice, and stellar career. At over 50, he is one of the most powerful anchors in the U.S. Yet, what fans constantly wonder is: Why has David Muir never gone public with a romantic relationship?
While many television personalities are frequently linked to dating rumors, David has chosen a private life, almost never revealing anything about his love life.
It’s Not About Sexuality
For years, speculation has swirled around David Muir’s sexuality. However, he has made it clear that the real reason has nothing to do with that.
In interviews, David has candidly admitted: “I was a total nerd.” He confessed that as a child, instead of playing outside with friends, he would rush indoors whenever the evening news came on.
A “Nerd” Obsessed With News Since Childhood
David recalled that at just 12 years old, while neighborhood kids played in the yard, he would quietly slip away to glue himself to the TV, following every newscast – especially those delivered by the legendary Peter Jennings.
His passion only grew stronger, completely shaping his life. Not only did Muir watch the news religiously, but by the age of 14, he was interning at a local TV station, writing letters to reporters, and begging for experience. His parents once revealed how they had to take turns driving him to the newsroom during summer breaks – while other kids went off to play, David simply wanted to work at the station.
The Real Reason He’s Still “Single” Today
Because of this all-consuming obsession with journalism, David has hardly left room for anyone else in his personal life. Work, news, and the nightly broadcast have become his true companions.
One colleague once joked: “David Muir doesn’t need love, because his one true love is the 6 p.m. newscast.”
A Symbol of Loneliness, Yet of Success
Today, David Muir has become a symbol of American television. He has achieved every professional dream any journalist could hope for – except for a public love story.
While fans still hope to one day see him walk the red carpet with a partner, perhaps the real “shocking truth” is this: David Muir doesn’t need love to be happy, because he already found his lifelong passion in the news.
