Updated: Jul 16, 2020

David Muir is the savy, multiple award-winning American journalist and anchor of ABC World News Tonight and co-anchor of the ABC News Magazine 20/20. His interest in Journalism began as far back as his childhood days when he would perform mock news broadcast from inside a cardboard box in his family's living room, as he tries to mimic his Idol, Peter Jennings. He was that child that would use his allowance to buy a cassette recorder from Radio shack so he could interview his sister's teenage friend.  Now 45, Muir has ditched the cardboard box and cassette recorder for the News studio and the microphone. He is so popular that his newscast, 'World News Tonight with David Muir' is the most-watched News Newscast today in America.


Moreover, research conducted by Tyndall Reports revealed that his News Program received the Most Airtime in 2012 and 2013. He is also a recipient of several awards such as the Emmy award and the Edward R Murrow award.


However, what has continued to elude his numerous fans is his sexual orientation and relationship status. Listed among the sexiest men alive by people's magazine in 2014, David Muir has many admirers but he seems content to keep the world guessing about his love life.
