She’s one of the most recognisable faces on Australian television – on Sunday Sonia Kruger ensured all eyes were firmly on her as she arrived at the 2025 Logie Awards.
The 59-year-old TV favourite commanded attention in a jaw-dropping strapless gold gown by Victorian fashion designer Alin Le’ Kal that clung to her incredible figure and shimmered under the red carpet lights.
Speaking to Daily Mail, Sonia revealed that her date for the evening was none other than her sister, Deb.
‘This is actually my sister who’s my date for the evening,’ Sonia said with a smile. ‘There’s a great team of people who are all here tonight.’
When asked about her hectic work schedule juggling The Voice, Big Brother, and Dancing with the Stars, the Gold Logie nominee credited her strong support network.
‘You know what my secret is? There’s a great team of people,’ she said.

And while many stars planned an early night, Sonia was ready to let her hair down. When quizzed on her post-show plans, she didn’t hesitate.
‘Oh, I’m out. I’m partying. I’m partying,’ she laughed.
The metallic number featured intricate embellishments along the sides, accentuating her toned physique and giving her look a futuristic edge.
But what really caught the attention of attendees was the huge yellow gem shining on her ring finger, surrounded by smaller diamonds.
The TV star has been in a relationship with former Channel Seven executive Craig McPherson since 2008.
The two began their romance shortly after Sonia split from her British banker husband, James Davies.
Sonia was all smiles as she strutted her stuff down the red carpet, making sure the huge ring was on display.
Her gown featured racy, full-length cutouts down both sides of her body with dangling diamante chains.

Sonia kept her accessories to a minimum for TV’s night of nights, opting for simple elegance as she sported stacked rings on one hand and a massive gem on the other.
The Dancing With The Stars host also rocked a fresh burgundy manicure, nude lip and smoky eyes as she styled her blonde locks into loose waves.
Sonia and Craig tend to keep their romance relatively private, but she gave a rare glimpse into their 16-year-long relationship earlier this year.
In July, the television host spoke to Stellar Magazine about Craig’s departure from Channel Seven, where he was the network’s Director of News and Public Affairs for nine years.
Craig was responsible for programs including 7NEWS, Sunrise and The Morning Show until his abrupt departure in April.
Breaking her silence on the decision, Sonia told how it was the right move for their family as she reflected on how they are pillars of support for one another.
‘One thing Craig has always been for me – and I for him – is rock solid,’ she shared.
‘And in an industry that can be fickle at times, you need to have someone who’s in your corner. We certainly are that person for each other.’

‘Craig has had an incredible career… He’s not ready to retire, but I think he needed to step back from such a demanding job, especially when we have a child who’s nine,’ she went on.
‘She requires his attention at times, as do I. The timing was right for him to step out. I’m excited to see what comes next.’
‘I’m biased, but he really is one of the best in the business. I know there will be something fun that comes for Craig where he can actually indulge a passion, which is sport. So, who knows?’
The Strictly Ballroom star has previously admitted her romance with Craig was a slow burn.
Speaking to The Anj, Rob & Robbo Show in 2021, Sonia said she and Craig used to have many heated arguments when he was her boss on current affairs show Today Tonight, several years before they became romantically involved.
‘He’s one of the toughest taskmasters there is. You would know. You get very little praise from Craig, but you will definitely hear about it if you’ve made a mistake or you’ve missed something,’ she said.
However, Sonia got to know another side to Craig years later, after she’d left Today Tonight and was hosting reality show Dancing with the Stars.
She revealed Craig had reached out to her when her father was ill in hospital, which led to them reconnecting and starting their romantic relationship.
‘He’d obviously heard about it, and he sent me a very kind message,’ she said. ‘And from that point, we started talking and reconnected.’
