NRL star Thomas Burgess celebrates 31st birthday with wife Tahlia Giumelli and their two daughters: ‘I’m a very lucky man’

Thomas Burgess celebrated his 31st birthday on Friday with friends and family.

The NRL star and his wife Tahlia Giumelli shared reels of pictures from his big day to their Instagram pages, showing an intimate look into the celebrations. 

He spent his day eating a homemade football cake with his partner and their daughters Elodie and Sophie before hitting the pub with his mates. 

Thomas finished off the grand day with a luxury dinner featuring lobster and steak alongside his 30-year-old wife Tahlia.   

‘What a great birthday weekend, love all my peoples! Thanks to everyone for the lovely messages,’ Thomas captioned his birthday post a few days later.

Tahlia commented under his reel of family photos, saying: ‘Funny we once said we would be over 30 before we had kids and our little cherubs have celebrated our 30th and 31st birthdays with us.’

Meanwhile, she shared a post on her own page which included a sweet video of their four-year-old daughter Sophie talking about the decorations she ‘helped’ put up.

‘I loved waking up this morning to the girls who were so excited and proud to show you the cards they made you and all the decorations they “helped” put up and watching you go along with enthusiasm and act like you hadn’t seen it when you walked in last night,’ Tahlia wrote.

She went on to say that while their life ‘might be hard sometimes’ she is ‘thankful’ to have Thomas and their two little girls in her life. 

‘I’m a very lucky man to have my special girls spoil me on my birthday! Love you so much,’ Thomas replied. 

The celebrations come after Thomas landed himself in hot water with footy fans earlier this month after appearing to grab the genitals of a rival player during South Sydney’s win over Canterbury.

Latrell Mitchell stole the show at Accor Stadium as he grabbed a hat-trick to help Jason Demetriou’s side to a dominant victory over their NRL rivals on Good Friday.

But furious eagle-eyed fans spotted a ‘grub act’ from the English forward committed 12 minutes into the second half.

Thomas was spotted leaving Bulldogs star Josh Reynolds in a heap after appearing to squeeze his private parts with his left arm.

However, referee Gerard Sutton did not see the incident, nor did the Bunker review it, and Thomas’ act went unpunished.
