Former NRL star Braith Anasta is a sporting icon, becoming the youngest ever player to captain the Bulldogs.
And now, the Dally M medal winner has revealed what his typical day entails as life as a father to newborn daughter, Gigi.
On Saturday, the handsome sportsman, 36, revealed he has a very modern parenting style – taking care of ‘morning shift’.

‘I’d get up between 5.30am and 6am and I would get Gigi out into the lounge room, play with her and feed her,’ he revealed.
Braith, who shares a daughter Aleeia, 4, with former Neighbours star and ex-wife Jodi Gordon, went on to say he makes breakfast for her and Rachael’s son Addison.
Braith parted ways with Jodi in 2015. Despite their personal differences, the pair happily co-parent their daughter Aleeia.

Braith confirmed his romance with brunette Rachael Lee on Christmas Day in 2016, with the pair moving in together in early 2017.
In January this year, Rachael gave birth to daughter Gigi.
The doting father added he likes to allow Rachael a chance to ‘sleep in’ as she is usually up all night with their daughter, who he admits ‘doesn’t sleep’.

‘[I’ll] get them breakfast,’ the Fox Sports commentator said.
‘I try to get them ready for school and do the drop off,’ he finished.
The former elite athlete still has a major focus on fitness, with him then confessing he goes on to spend a couple of hours in the gym each day.
‘I get half a day to spend with the family and helping out at home and then the nights I’m at work’: Braith went on to say that his work allowed him to be at home in the mornings
He went on to say that he was able to balance his dad duties, due to working nights as a commentator at Fox Sports, which allowed him time in the morning.
‘I get half a day to spend with the family and helping out at home and then the nights I’m at work,’ Braith added.
In the past, Braith has raved about life as a family man, admitting that he felt it was the best job in the world, even if it wasn’t the easiest.
‘My greatest achievement in life is my family – Rachael and the kids; Gigi, Addi and Aleeia,’ told Daily Mail Australia in August.
