Larry Emdur is regarded as one of Australia’s most likeable TV personalities, hosting the game show The Chase, after replacing Andrew O’Keefe as well as co-hosting The Morning Show alongside Kylie Gillies.
But despite all his successes, the 58-year-old admits he couldn’t have done it without the love and support of wife, Sylvie.

The couple just recently celebrated their 29-year wedding anniversary. Larry shared a heartfelt message to Instagram on their special day.
“29 years today. 29 years of holding hands and watching sunsets, 29 years of love and laughs, 29 years of ups and downs but mainly ups and 29 years of me loving you more than anything,” he wrote.
“Happy Anniversary Sylvie, apparently the present for 29 years is furniture, I was going to take you out for a fancy nice dinner but let’s go to IKEA instead… ❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
The comments section was flooded with messages from friends and family congratulating them on this milestone.
Jasmine Stefanovic wrote, “Congratulations lovers ❤️❤️.”
“Love youzzzzz!!!” Jules Sebastian penned.
“❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌🙌 very romantic lovers,” Tim Robards said.
Anna Heinrich said, “Only 19 years behind you! Congratulations.”
Sylvie, who met Larry while working as a flight attendant in the ‘90s, was instantly drawn to TV personality after he made a memorable impression during her flight.
After getting caught in the rain, Larry proceeded to board the airline’s business cabin completely drenched from head to toe, which Sylvie found most amusing.
But by the time their flight reached its destination, numbers had been exchanged, and it wasn’t long before the couple officially became an item – later marrying in 1995.
Speaking about their relationship to body+soul in 2020, Larry admitted the couple made it a goal to always live spontaneously and do at least one crazy thing every year.
Whether it’s jet-setting to Paris for the weekend or relocating to Los Angeles for a complete Trans-Pacific sea change, Larry said spontaneity is the key to their marriage success.
What’s more, Larry admits he isn’t the argumentative kind, so the couple have never exchanged bad words – in fact, the couple frequently gush over each other on Instagram.
Taking to the social platform in December 2020, Larry posted a lengthy message to mark the couple’s 26th wedding anniversary, writing: “Happy 26th Anniversary baby doll.”
He also added: “I’m amazed you continue to put up with all my s**t, Soooooooo much s**t.”
At the same time, Sylvie shared her own gushing post on her own account, writing: “Happy Anniversary Baby. Still laughing after all these years. (Mostly at you not with you but laughing all the same) Love and adore you.”
Larry also told body+soul that, as newlyweds, he promised Sylvie he would never let the uncertainty of the media industry affect their relationship or financial security.
“I promised her and the kids that I’d never be that guy who sits by the phone and mopes around,” Larry confessed, while referring to their backup “plan B”.
Larry assured Sylvie that by having a plan B – in their case, property investment, money matters wouldn’t add unnecessary strain to their relationship.
With money strain out of the way, the couple’s main concern was Larry’s unpredictable work schedule, which at times meant he could be away from home for days or weeks.
But despite the distance, Sylvie admitted she was never concerned about Larry having a roving eye – especially with the bikini or lingerie-clad models on The Price Is Right.
“If you can’t do anything about it, don’t worry about it,” she told the publication.
