Sam Burgess has spoken candidly about fathering his two children: Poppy, three, and Billy, one, who he shares with ex-wife Phoebe Burgess.
The 32-year-old, who will next star on the gruelling series SAS Australia, reflected on what he calls his ‘most rewarding role’, in an interview on his 4BLabel brand’s website.
‘Being a father is my most important role in life. Always learning and growing, it can be challenging but certainly the most rewarding role I’ve played,’ said Sam.

The high-profile sportsman went on to say that bath time is also hilarious in a house with two kids.
‘Favourite time at the moment is bath time. I am always begged to jump in the bath with them and it’s a time full of adventure,’ he added.
Sam explained that his children are reminders of the purity of life, saying they are not shaped by drama or worldly circumstances.
‘They remind me to be grateful and happy no matter the circumstances. Without being too deep – they hold the core values of life front and centre for everyone to see. My job is to nurture that,’ he said.

Sam shares his two children with influencer ex-wife, Phoebe Burgess.
He is set to discuss his highly-publicised divorce from the influencer in the upcoming series of SAS: Australia.
The first bombshell trailer for the new season focused heavily on the former NRL star – who said he has ‘lost it all’ during an intense interrogation.

‘I’ve lost my career, my kids and my marriage. There was a police investigation into me. I turned to drinking, drugs… I’ve lost it all,’ Sam uttered in the clip.
The footage then cut to Sam sinking underwater in a car during an adrenalin-pumping challenge.
Sam is arguably one of the most well-known faces of this season’s new recruits, after hitting headlines numerous times over the past few years.
The South Sydney captain retired from the NRL with immediate effect due to a shoulder injury back in 2019.
A year later, he finalised his divorce with Phoebe just before Christmas following five tumultuous years of marriage.
