Stacey & Scotty: 'OUR PROMISE TO EACH OTHER'

Broadcaster Scotty Morrison often receives flack from wife Stacey and his three children for being a technophobe.

It’s surprising that as one of our country’s best-known media personalities, Scotty isn’t on any social media platforms and still has an early-model cellphone.

But he assures his wife there’s a good reason why he’s not pressured to keep up with the latest cellphone trends.

“He tells me that I should find it comforting that he gets a model that he likes and then sticks with it,” Stacey says with a smile, looking endearingly at her husband.

“Yup,” replies Scotty. “Once I get used to something, I’m very loyal.”

This cute and intimate exchange is a rare glimpse of how humour and familiarity have kept the spark alive for the couple, who have been happily married for 17 years.

“You must be amazed by the person that you’re with every single day,” tells Scotty. “I have that with Stacey and I’m very grateful.”

Stacey says she has a strong connection with her husband because they share the same values and are both committed to their three children, Hawaiki, 16, Kurawaka, 14, and Maiana, 10.

“I love being with Scotty and I want to spend as much time with him as I can. It’s not just the love that I have for him, but we also have a lot of care and respect for each other. When you love someone, you want them to enjoy their life.”
