Sam Pang knows a thing or a two to keep his personal life away from the media. Despite talking daily in front of the camera as a television and radio host, he never lets details of his private life slip away.
But thanks to his one particular interview and a social media post, it became clear that he has a daughter.
Sam Pang's Relationship Status
Pang isn't vocal about his relationship status. And the lack of his social media presence — he only uses Twitter — makes it harder to figure if he has anyone in his life.
That being said, he has been linked with an Italian woman named Ann. It is also said that he married the lady in 2000 and they have been together ever since.
But Pang has never mentioned having a wife, be it in his interviews or on Twitter.
The only time he has shared something about his love life was via a tweet on March 5, 2013. Mentioning fellow comedian Nelly Thomas, he wrote that he couldn't have a girlfriend for long, even in his dreams. He also disclosed he had short relationships in the past and hinted at his singlehood.
@MsNellyThomas @774melbourne Nelly, I've had some short relationships in my time but now girlfriends in dreams aren't lasting either!? — Sam Pang (@MrSamPang) March 6, 2013
He Has a Daughter
Pang is a father of one, and he has admitted to having a daughter, albeit not sharing with whom.
The Have You Been Paying Attention host first shared his fatherhood in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald in 2012.
When the interviewer asked when he was happiest, Pang answered that it was the day The Larry Sanders Show got released on DVD. Then without delving into many details, he added that the day his daughter was born was also one of his happiest days.
Four years later, Pang dropped another hint at his parenthood. He tweeted his picture with a pink cap and mentioned Shane Delia in the message, asking if he had a bigger headdress. In reply, Delia mockingly complimented Pang, saying he looked dashing in his daughter's cap.
Hey @shanedelia, this cap is too Smalls. Do you have a Biggie one? #notsurepinkismycoloureither pic.twitter.com/qRMnqADCsW — Sam Pang (@MrSamPang) August 15, 2016
While the radio host has hinted at his daughter's presence, he is yet to share her details.
A Look at His Career
Pang wouldn't have been a television host if not for his friends who urged him to work in radio. A marketing graduate, he was into playing football. He played under the Collingwood under-19s team in 1991 and later played for Tasmania and regional Victoria.
Eventually, he changed his career path and hosted a radio show Breakfasters on the 3RRR station for five years.
Meanwhile, he presented The Rush Hour when the original hosts James Brayshaw and Billy Brownless went off to London to cover the 2012 Summer Olympics.

In January 2016, the Melbourne native joined Chrissie Swan and Jonathan Brown to host the Nova 100's breakfast program, Chrissie, Sam & Browny. The show was voted as 'The Best Radio Show Podcast' in 2018's Australian Commercial Radio Awards.
Pang debuted on television through a history-based quiz show, ADbc, in 2009.
After minor stints as a co-host and a reporter, he finally got his breakthrough being a panelist in Network 10's Have You Been Paying Attention? in 2013. He also started anchoring The Front Bar in 2015.
