Sonia Kruger<\/a> was spotted at Sydney<\/a> Airport on Tuesday with her rarely-seen daughter Maggie, 10, who is growing up to look just like her famous mum.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old and her mini-me, whom she shares with TV executive Craig McPherson, were all smiles as they arrived on an early morning flight.<\/p>\n

The Dancing with the Stars<\/a> host attempted to go incognito with an Alo-branded cap, blending in with a black zip-up jacket and black flared pants.<\/p>\n

For the travel day, she prioritised comfort in a pair of white sneakers, a far cry from her signature sky-high heels on the beloved dancing program.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Maggie kept it casual in a grey T-shirt and tracksuit pants.<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old and her mini-me daughter were all smiles as they arrived on an early morning flight<\/p>\n

Maggie, who was born in 2015, has inherited her mother’s blue eyes and blonde hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The youngster tied her locks back with a scrunchie, matching her mum with a ponytail ‘do.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The mother-daughter duo walked through the airport sporting large grins, while the Aussie TV star lugged around three large suitcases on a trolley.<\/p>\n

Sonia conceived Maggie via IVF treatment and a donor egg at the age of 49, after several natural pregnancies had ended in miscarriage.<\/p>\n

The TV host has been open about her journey to parenthood, and told Stellar magazine that she worried if bonding with a child that wasn’t biologically hers would be difficult.<\/p>\n

‘That\u2019s the beautiful thing about having a child in your life, whether you\u2019ve adopted them or had them by surrogate, or it\u2019s a foster child,’ she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘You grow to love them and, in my case, it was pretty instantaneous. She grew in my tummy so she\u2019s a part of me and I look at her and can\u2019t imagine loving her any more than I do.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sonia is up for the most coveted award in television this year – nominated for the Gold Logie at the 65th TV Week Logie Award nominations.<\/p>\n

This year marks a historic moment for the Gold Logie, with six out of the seven nominees being women \u2013 a rarity in the awards’ decades-long history.<\/p>\n

The gold category became gender-neutral in 1978, and since then, only ten different women have ever taken it home.<\/p>\n

Sonia said the female-dominated field was more than just symbolic; it sends a powerful message to the next generation.<\/p>\n

‘[The three of us] have daughters. And one of the best parts was knowing that all those little girls out there who might be watching TV or looking for a career as an actor, a journalist, a presenter could then aspire a little bit more,’ she explained.<\/p>\n

The Voice host continued: ‘They see women who are doing that and being recognised for that.’<\/p>\n
