Phoebe Burgess gets emotional as she discusses life as single mum

This is so sad.
  • 15 Mar 2020

Phoebe Burgess has opened up about life as a single mother following her split from NRL star, Sam Burgess. 

The mother-of-two split with Burgess in October last year and the former couple recently sold their Sydney home.

Now the 31-year-old has opened up about her split to Stellar magazine, revealing she often thinks of what could have been,

"I had an idea about how I wanted them to grow up and that's not going to happen now.

"But I'm adjusting and I embrace being their mum every day. And if that's being a single mum, then I'll embrace that as well.

"I'm just trying to... make sure they're surrounded by love, regardless of how that family looks."

The journalist and influencer went on to tell the publication that her two kids she shares with Burgess - Poppy, three, and son Billy, 15 months - are her main focus.

"I don't have the luxury of falling apart or breaking down or booking a ticket and leaving. I have two children who depend on me day in, day out," she revealed.

Phoebe and Sam wed in a lavish ceremony in the New South Wales Southern Highlands in December 2015.

They initially split in December 2018, but soon rekindled their romance before calling it quits in October 2019.

The couple split in October last year after four years of marriage.

The interview comes after Burgess was spotted getting cosy with Bridgette Lee at a pub in Sydney. Bridgette is the sister of Braith Anasta's fiancée Rachael Lee.
