Sam Burgess and fiancée Lucy Graham have welcomed their first child together, a baby girl with an unusual name.
The NRL star announced the happy news on Friday with a celebratory post on Instagram.
“Heading home with my two beautiful girls @lcygrhm. Meet Robbie Burgess born 27.9.23,” he penned alongside a family snap.
“Our hearts are extremely full.”

The photo showed Burgess cradling the newborn, who was wearing a tiny white onesie, while mum Graham placed an affectionate hand on baby Robbie’s head.
The NRL star’s brother Luke Burgess was quick to congratulate the pair, writing: “Love you guys.”
John Sutton commented, “Congrats fam”, and Campbell Graham wrote, “Congrats to you both.”
The new parents chose a unique name for their baby girl, skipping over more traditional, feminine names when they opted for ‘Robbie’.

Though it’s more commonly thought of as a boys name, there’s a rising trend of parents opting for more traditionally masculine names for their daughters.
Billie and Charlie are among the more popular monikers, but Burgess and Graham’s unique pick is equally beautiful.
Graham, a hairdresser by trade, moved to Australia earlier this year ahead of the arrival of their first child.

Originally from the UK, she appeared to enjoy the sunny weather Down Under as she waited for their little one to make an appearance.
Robbie was born just months after the couple announced their engagement, Burgess popping the question during a tropical getaway in June.
The Rabbitohs icon later confessed he was extremely nervous when he asked the UK native to marry him.

“I was very nervous actually, I dropped the ball so to speak. It was a great day, a great time away, we are both very happy,” he said on Sunrise.
He was previously married to Phoebe Burgess (née Hooke), with whom he shares two older children, Poppy, four, and Billy, three.
They wed in 2015, then separated in 2018 less than a month after their son was born. Though they briefly reconciled in early 2019, they split for good soon after.
