Anna Kooiman has always had a way of lighting up a screen — whether waking up America on Fox & Friends Weekend or motivating audiences through her passion for fitness and family. But when she suddenly vanished from U.S. television several years ago, many fans were left wondering: Where did she go?
Now, after years of life by the ocean and raising a family halfway around the world, Kooiman is back — and her return is filled with surprises, including one revelation that has fans buzzing about the incredible life she built while off the air.
When Kooiman left Fox News in 2016, she announced she was moving to Sydney, Australia, after marrying her longtime love, Tim Stuckey — a handsome Australian banker she met while he was on vacation in the U.S. What was supposed to be a new chapter quietly blossomed into an entirely new life. From early-morning workouts along the Sydney shoreline to building a wellness brand and television presence overseas, Kooiman managed to blend her broadcasting career with motherhood and a deep appreciation for the coastal lifestyle.
In Australia, she became a familiar face on Network Ten’s Studio 10 while also founding Strong Sexy Mammas, a fitness platform empowering women to stay active before and after pregnancy. The program became an instant hit among mothers juggling health and family life, earning her a new audience far beyond cable news.
“I wanted to create something that reflected the life I was living — balancing children, career, and self-care,” Kooiman said in a recent interview. “It’s not about perfection; it’s about strength — physically, mentally, and emotionally.”
