Sam Burgess reveals heart-warming family news
NRL legend Sam Burgess has confirmed that he and his partner have welcomed their first child together.
During an interview on Sunrise, the 34-year-old said that his partner, Lucy Graham, and their newborn daughter are both doing well.
Their baby girl, who they named Robbie, arrived on Wednesday after a marathon labour, weighing in at 3.8kg.
“Big news, little baby Robbie arrived earlier this week, grand final week we’re cheering,” he said on the breakfast TV show.
“I’m on very limited sleep, I’m getting used to that again."
“It’s been great and both mum and bub are doing well, all very happy here.”
Burgess also told The Saturday Telegraph, “It was a really, really long labour, it was hard going so I am just really happy and really relieved that everyone has come through safe and well."
“I’m so proud of Lucy, she did amazing. Both my girls are amazing,” he said.
Sam and Lucy delighted fans when they announced in March that they were expecting a baby, and later turned heads in July when they hosted a baby shower.
Graham, who like Burgess is from the United Kingdom, moved to Australia recently in order to be with the former England and South Sydney Rabbitohs star.
Burgess has two other children with his former wife, Phoebe Hooke, who are four and three respectively.
Burgess began dating Graham, a hairdresser who has also had her own clothing brand, in 2022.
