David Muir’s parents: Meet Ronald Muir & Pat Mills
The TV anchor was born in Syracuse, New York – where he still has an unbelievable lakeside property – and grew up in Onondaga Hills. He was born to his father, Ronald Muir, and mother, Pat Mills, who divorced early on, but continued to co-parent amicably.
David opened up in an interview with Syracuse.com and said he remembered his mother and father driving him to the television studios where he was interning. “One of the images I won’t forget is my mother and my father driving me there on summer vacation or school breaks,” he said.
“When most kids go off to do other things, I remember just begging them to take me to that TV station. I’m sure they dreaded it. Between the two of them, they had to get me there. To this day, I’m grateful they would drive me to 980 James St.”
