NRL WAG Phoebe Burgess and her Rabbitohs star husband Sam are expecting a second child.
In a statement to The Sunday Telegraph, Phoebe’s manager, Sharon Finnigan, confirmed the 29-year-old former journalist is excited about her pregnancy.
‘I can confirm Phoebe, Sam and Poppy are beyond excited to announce that they have a new addition on the way to join their family,’ Sharon said.

‘They couldn’t be happier. Phoebe has continued to honour her ambassador roles with Bobbi Brown, Johnson and Johnson through this time and is Promoting Ostelin Vitamin D Awareness Day tomorrow.’
Phoebe is due to give birth in December.
The Sydney couple, who tied the knot in December 2015, share 18-month-old daughter Poppy Alice.

In an interview with BW magazine in May, Phoebe confessed that motherhood has been ‘tougher than I realised,’ claiming Instagram is ‘pretty inaccurate.’
‘It’s definitely a lot tougher than I realised,’ Phoebe said of the trials and tribulations of raising a child.
‘Before I was in the motherhood trenches with Poppy, I had the Instagram version of young motherhood which is pretty inaccurate and only a snapshot of the good moments.’
While Phoebe herself also posts plenty of glossy Instagram snaps of her young family, she confessed it’s not always as glamorous it seems.

She later continued about an unfortunate tale while shopping in Sydney’s ritzy Paddington area, where her tiny tot ‘let rip’.
‘Poppy let rip and her poo-nami oozed down the side of my jumper and jeans, all over her second outfit for the day (mum’s know that’s it then) and my hands,’ she said, joking about the incident.
Phoebe, who is a graduate of Sydney University, tied the knot with Sam in a lavish ceremony in the NSW Southern Highlands.
Up to 200 guests attended the wedding – including actor Russell Crowe, other rugby league stars including Greg Inglis, Lote Tuqiri, Steve Menzies and Dylan Walker, and Michael Maguire, the coach of the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
