“Even though I’m sad and doing my best not to look Monique in the eye, where I am now is honestly a place of incredible gratitude for the laughter, the lessons, and the tears.
“I unwaveringly believe that this role – specifically, telling people’s most intimate and personal stories – is one of the most privileged positions on the planet.”
Matt will host his final episode of Weekend Sunrise on Sunday, December 8 alongside Monique.
The breakfast show host broke down in tears as he spoke about his friendship with his closest colleague.
‘Mon, you’re not just a colleague, you’re my best friend and I’m going to miss you, any chance for a hug?’ said.
In September, when Matt appeared on Morning Sunrise to launch his latest book, Mental State, about Australia’s mental health system, he bravely spoke about his own struggle with depression.
—Do you think we’re getting better, doctor, by raising our hands like you did and saying, “I have an anxiety problem”? Matt asked Dr. Cross.
“I’ve also had huge problems with depression in recent years, but I think people are still afraid to come forward and say that.”

The Melbourne-born reporter has worked at Channel Seven for eight years and was a reporter at Sunrise from 2016 to 2020.
“It’s amazing that you say that… the more we talk about it, the better it is,” Dr. Cross said, praising Matt for speaking so openly about his depression on TV.
Matt has raised concerns in recent years after he mysteriously disappeared from work on two separate occasions.
In June, he was unable to make it to Seven studios to work on Weekend Sunrise.
He was replaced by reporter Chris Reason, who returned to present the breakfast show alongside Monique Wright on Saturday 8 June.
A spokesperson for the network told Daily Mail Australia at the time that Matt was “on leave.”
A top Channel Seven star has been tipped to replace Doran, following his shock on-air resignation.
Seven’s US correspondent David Woiwod, who is based in Los Angeles, is likely to take on the co-host role alongside Monique Wright, according to news.com.au.
The Melbourne-born reporter worked at Channel Seven for eight years and was a reporter at Sunrise from 2016 to 2020.
He moved to Los Angeles in July 2020 to become the network’s US correspondent and was promoted to US bureau chief in April of last year.
Woiwod has earned a reputation for his engaging personality and cheeky banter in reporting.
In 2020, Woiwod blushed while appearing on Sunrise when he mispronounced American actress Ellen DeGeneres’ name as ‘Allan’.
