Fatherhood driving Sam Burgess to greater heights
From eligible bachelor to doting husband, Sam Burgess has slipped comfortably into fatherhood.
And the South Sydney Rabbitohs star and wife Phoebe are now proud new parents to a gorgeous baby girl.
"Honestly you can't explain it, it's unbelievable," Burgess told 7News.
"From watching the child being born and your wife, it's quite amazing."
Asked whether he's getting enough sleep, Burgess was short and sharp: "More than my wife."
Sam says his adoration for Phoebe only grew throughout the pregnancy.
"She's pretty inspirational."
Already part of rugby league's elite, having his own family is inspiring him to even greater heights.
"Everything you do is for your family," Burgess said.
"Having your own child takes it to another level."
