Kelly Ripa Offers to Play Matchmaker for David Muir’s Handsome Nephew on ‘Live’
Kelly Ripa has a new matchmaking mission, and David Muir found himself at the center of it during a recent appearance on Live With Kelly and Mark. The ABC World News Tonight anchor revealed that his nephew, Brahm, now lives nearby, prompting Ripa to enthusiastically praise him and joke that she has been trying to introduce him to every single niece in her family.
Muir appeared on the Monday, November 9, episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, where he chatted with Ripa and Mark Consuelos about his work and recent birthday celebrations. The conversation took an unexpected turn when he mentioned that Brahm had joined him for his 53rd birthday dinner.
“It was great. You know, Brahm, my nephew, lives in town now, so he came to the dinner,” Muir explained. He then shared a funny detail: just before arriving at the studio, he had received a text from Brahm admitting that he did not think he had actually wished his uncle a happy birthday during the dinner.
That was enough to get Ripa and Consuelos talking about the young man.
“He’s such a great guy,” Consuelos said, while Ripa was equally impressed. “Guys, Brahm is so gorgeous,” she declared.

Ripa revealed that her admiration for Muir’s nephew had even inspired her to take on the role of family matchmaker.
“I’ve been trying to set him up with every single niece of mine. I’m not kidding,” she joked.
Muir was quick to add to the praise, describing Brahm as a smart guy. Ripa agreed, calling him both handsome and conscientious, before suggesting that he was “a chip off the old block.”
The discussion soon began to sound less like a regular television interview and more like a dating show, something Muir himself was quick to point out.
“This is like a dating show now,” he joked, imagining how his nephew would react to the unexpected attention. Muir added that Brahm was at work and had no idea they were discussing his personal life on television.
David Muir Has Shared Glimpses of His Nephew Over the Years
Although Brahm rarely features in the spotlight, Muir has occasionally shared moments with him on social media.
In June 2018, the anchor posted a photograph of his nephew following what appeared to be a school graduation. He expressed his pride in the caption, using the hashtags #graduation, #nephew and #lakers.
Brahm also appeared in Muir’s New Year’s Day Instagram post in 2020. The first photo showed the two swimming together in the ocean. Alongside the images, Muir wished his followers happiness and unexpected gifts in the year ahead.
In November 2021, Muir offered another glimpse of their relationship when he posted pictures of himself and his bearded nephew checking out a Ferrari. His caption was brief but affectionate: “Nephew has good taste.”
While the conversation on Live appeared to suggest that Brahm is single, Muir has kept details of his own romantic life largely out of the public eye. The anchor has not publicly confirmed whether he is currently in a relationship or single, and he has no children.
Muir Previously Addressed Fans’ Attention to His Appearance
Muir has occasionally joked about the attention he receives from fans online. In a May 2025 interview with People, he recalled being sent TikTok videos in which people teased him about becoming “Daddy.”
“People will forward TikTok videos, but only because they are laughing out loud at them and making fun of me and saying, ‘When did you become Daddy?’” he said.
The anchor wondered whether the attention was simply something that came with turning 50, adding that he would take it as a compliment.
He also admitted that he feels uncomfortable dressing up for formal events, particularly when he has to wear a tuxedo. Even making it through those occasions without looking like a “total nerd,” he joked, still came as a surprise.
“Maybe it’s lost on me, but I guess Daddy’s better than the alternative,” Muir added.
