Meet Laura McGoldrick: Cricket WAG and Media Star
Christchurch, New ZealandFri Jan 10 2025
Laura McGoldrick might be best known as the wife of New Zealand cricket legend Martin Guptill, but she's also made a name for herself in the sports media world. Hailing from Christchurch, Laura grew up in a household that loved sports and storytelling, thanks to her parents Bryn and Leanne McGoldrick. While her initial dreams were in acting, she found her perfect fit in broadcasting.
Her big break came when she hosted a children's sports show called "Push Play. " This was just the start of her journey. Laura has since hosted various sports programs on TV, like "The Cricket Show" and "Holden Golf World. " She's also worked in radio, including a stint on Radio Hauraki's breakfast show and hosting her own afternoon show, "The Hits 3pm Pick-Up. "
Laura's career isn't limited to just TV and radio. She's been the Master of Ceremonies for major events like the 2015 Cricket World Cup opening ceremony and the All Blacks' homecoming. Despite her busy career, Laura balances it well with her family life. She and Martin share two children, Harley and Teddy, and even though cricket is a big part of their lives, it's not the only topic they discuss at home.
Laura's story is inspiring, especially her ability to juggle multiple roles. From her days in drama school to her current status as a dynamic media personality, her journey shows that with passion and dedication, anyone can make their mark in the world.
