Sunrise host Matt Shirvington has downsized and moved out of his $12.5million mansion in Mosman and into a smaller home in the same suburb with his family.
The 45-year-old TV star and his wife Jessica, who share daughters Sienna, 16, Winnie, 14, and son Lincoln, were seen seen carrying boxes and other items into their new property last week.
Several removalist trucks were seen parked at the front of the five-bedroom house before large pieces of furniture were carried in.
The couple’s new home is 543sqm – more than half the size of their previous 1334sqm property.
It has five bedrooms, two bathrooms and offers stunning views of Balmoral and out the Sydney Heads.

The property features an open plan layout with sliding doors opening to a poolside entertaining area.
There is also a private level garden and lawn, a double lock-up garage and an ornamental fireplace.
It is unclear whether Matt and Jessica sold their former home in Mosman after listing it for a reported $12.5million in January.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out for comment.
The seven-bedroom, five-bathroom mansion, which overlooked Sirius Cove, failed to find a buyer after staying on the market in 2022 for 128 days.

Built in 1896, the beautiful Federation-style sprawl is just 8km from the CBD and features a studio, pool and tennis court.
Full of 19th century charm, the expansive house has been beautifully maintained and boasts spacious living areas, including a formal dining room.
Matt and Jessica bought the property in 2017 for $7.5million after selling off another Mosman Federation home in 2016 for $4.15million.

More recently the couple flipped a heritage-listed, Tudor-style home – also featuring a tennis court and pool – in Killara, on Sydney’s north shore, in just 17 days.
They paid $11.2million in May 2022, settled in November, and promptly sold it again for $11.6million less than three weeks later, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
The profit from the sale would not have covered the stamp duty of $720,000 payable on the property.
During their moving day last week, Matt was seen working up a sweat while carrying several boxes before visiting a local café and purchasing sandwiches for himself and his wife.
He swapped his suit for a casual hoodie and a pair of shorts, while Jessica dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans.
Matt first became a household name through his career in athletics.

He is Australia’s third fastest sprinter of all time, having represented the country at the 2000 Sydney Olympics when he was 22.
He took over the role of Sunrise co-host from David ‘Kochie’ Koch last year, but does not earn as much as his predecessor.
Koch earned more than $1.5million a year for his role on the Channel Seven breakfast show, despite only working four days a week, according to a senior TV executive.
‘Kochie was a big part of Seven’s overall success, and that’s why he was taking home about $1.5million,’ they said.

But Matt’s starting salary was much lower, with the former athlete understood to have signed an initial $400,000-a-year salary agreement with the network – subject to an increase come ratings time.
‘Shirvo is young, good looking and charismatic, but he’s still relatively untested, which is why he’s getting paid half of what Kochie earned,’ a source told Daily Mail Australia at the time.
The insider said they expect his salary will soar to $750,000 if the ratings and audience feedback play in his favour.

‘If he can maintain or even boost ratings, the sky’s the limit.’
Meanwhile, Matt’s wife Jessica is highly successful and best known as the author of the Embrace series of supernatural romance novels.
She is also the managing director of ritzy waterfront restaurant Bathers Pavilion in Mosman on Sydney’s lower north shore.
