The couple spared no expense, hiring fire-star wedding and events planner, Naomi Estephan, for the occasion.

Mrs Sakalaki took to Instagram on Sunday to post a photo of Abraham sitting in a gold-plated high chair surrounded by Parramatta Eels-themed decorations.

‘Happy first birthday my little star. Love you baby #party goals,’ she said. 

The cake, which had Abraham’s name written in cursive, was topped with a gold rugby ball and a big number 1.

Abraham was himself dressed head-to-toe in Paramatta Eels merchandise.

Keeping to the NRL theme, his parents, Kat and Ibraham also wore the NRL team’s colours, blue and gold.

Guests at the party said Mrs Sakalaki’s brother, Salim Mehajer, was also in attendance.

The party came just three days after Mehajer broke down in court revealing he was diagnosed with bipolar.

The disgraced former politician announced the diagnosis at a Sydney court on Thursday, where he is being sentenced for electoral fraud. 

The party was not the family’s first to draw national attention.
