Waleed Aly and wife Susan: 'We're not a Muslim power couple'

He's a Gold Logie winning television presenter and she's an esteemed academic and social commentator. But despite their success, Waleed Aly and wife Susan Carland see themselves as just any other married couple.

Speaking to Be at the 2017 TV Week Logie Awards in Melbourne on Sunday night, Susan dismissed the idea she and Waleed are "Australia's Muslim power couple".

"That’s just so... I don’t even know what to do with that," she reveals to Be of her reaction when people put that label on her relationship.

However before they hit the red carpet, Susan posted a hilarious snap to her Instagram account, showing her impatient husband checking his watch as she posed for photos.
