In many ways, David and Rebecca Muir’s wedding had the hallmarks of a traditional celebration—vows, a floral arch, dancing, and meaningful family moments.
However, what made their wedding controversial was the rumor that Rebecca Muir was David’s elder sister. Even when looking up ‘Rebecca Muir,’ one of the top results claims that Rebecca is indeed David’s sister. And that isn’t particularly untrue; David does have an older sister named Rebecca.
So, what exactly is the truth? This article discusses everything you need to know about David and Rebecca Muir’s wedding.
Are David And Rebecca Muir Siblings?
First, let’s address the elephant in the room: Yes, David and Rebecca Muir are indeed siblings. However, David didn’t marry his sister; it just so happens that his wife shared the same name as his older sister.

Rebecca “Becky” Muir—David’s older sister—runs an organic farm in Borodino, upstate New York. Meanwhile, David’s wife, Rebecca, whose maiden name is unknown, is a human rights lawyer.
David and Rebecca met at a charity event in New York City and had allegedly been together for over 10 years before officially tying the knot.
Strangely enough, there are no ‘official’ photos of David and Rebecca together. Multiple articles claim that they’re often seen eating out in restaurants or taking a stroll, but we’ve yet to have official confirmation that those are indeed pictures of Rebecca.
In other words, we don’t actually know what Rebecca looks like, and David never officially introduced anyone as his wife.
Of course, David Muir doesn’t owe anyone explanations about his private life. David is a private person despite being an ABC News anchor and a public figure.
Is David Muir Actually Married?

There have been several debates as to whether David Muir is actually married.
Although there are dozens of blogs describing David and Rebecca’s grand reception, most of what I’ve read is clearly written using AI.
Moreover, the details in these articles are extremely vague. They describe a typical upstate New York venue, with handwritten vows and a custom-designed cake—but that’s nothing out of the ordinary for a traditional wedding.
There’s also the fact that there isn’t a single photo of the wedding ceremony online, not on David Muir’s Instagram page, which he appears to be fairly active on, nor on the accounts of any family members or guests.
Given David’s penchant for privacy, the minimal details of the event might not seem unusual. However, the complete lack of any public acknowledgment of the wedding, even from close friends and family, has fueled speculation about the veracity of the 2024 marriage announcement.
This led to speculation that David didn’t actually get married and that the news of his 2024 wedding was all a hoax. And to be fair, it does seem strange that although David and Rebecca dated each other for over 10 years before their marriage, David not once spoke about her.
The same goes for Rebecca; as far as we know, nobody by that name appeared hand in hand with David at any of the public events he attended.
Without any wedding photos or even pictures of them together after supposedly being a couple for over 10 years, it’s easy to speculate that Rebecca might not exist at all. Other than her job as a human rights lawyer, there’s no information about Rebecca’s age, parents, personal life, or anything that would tie her to the ABC anchor.

It’s also worth noting that David Muir doesn’t wear a wedding ring. While this doesn’t definitively prove he isn’t married, it does add to the speculation that the rumored ‘wedding’ might be nothing more than baseless gossip.
Who Is David Muir Dating Now?
As far as we know, David Muir never dated anyone publicly.
Some people have linked David Muir to Kelly Ripa, mostly because they were seen playfully flirting with each other. While David never denied the allegations, Kelly Ripa has been married to American Mark Consuelos since 1996 and only sees David as a friend.

Perhaps the most notable clue about David’s relationships came from Kate Dries, who mentioned going on a date with him. David neither confirmed nor denied the claim, leading fans to believe that Kate was talking about their ‘date’ in a joking manner or that they’d broken up.
There have also been rumors linking David Muir romantically to journalist Gio Benitez, which fueled speculation about David’s sexuality following Gio’s public coming out. However, Gio later married Tommy DiDario in a private ceremony in Miami, Florida, putting those rumors to rest.
The most recent rumor about David’s relationship—apart from that of Rebecca, of course—was a supposed romantic connection with Sean Ashby, the Managing Director of the swimwear brand aussieBum. But again, there’s no conclusive evidence of this claim.

That didn’t stop people from speculating that Rebecca was actually Sean Ashby and that David kept their wedding private to stave off rumors of his sexuality.
We can only assume the reality of David Muir’s relationship. For now, we can conclude that David Muir is single. He hasn’t mentioned anyone being his partner and rarely spoke about relationships online or on TV.
The best thing fans can do is not to spread rumors about David’s personal life and respect his privacy.
Wrapping Up
David and Rebecca Muir’s wedding has been a subject of public scrutiny.
Despite several dozen articles discussing the couple’s wedding in detail—from Rebecca’s dress to the vintage chandelier of their New York upstate venue—there’s not a single photo online of the event.
It was a private wedding, so that may not be too hard to believe, but the fact that not even David’s family posted pictures of the wedding—or at least pictures of themselves attending a wedding—leaves little evidence to support the claim that David married a woman named Rebecca.

David never spoke of Rebecc, and he doesn’t wear a wedding ring, so it’s safe to assume that David isn’t married—at least as far as the public knows.
