She is a loving mother to two children, Poppy, eight, and Billy, six, who she shares with her ex-husband Sam.

And on Friday, Phoebe Burgess gushed over her own mum Sarah’s support as she prepared to celebrate Mother’s Day.

The journalist-turned-influencer told The Daily Telegraph, her mother’s role in her life is ‘more important than ever’ as she helps Phoebe raise her kids.

‘I need her more than ever, and not in a way like when you’re younger… but I get to bring my daughter home and she goes straight out into the horse arena with my mum who’s taught her everything she knows about riding to this point,’ she said.

‘My son wakes up at 5.30 in the morning and puts his boots on with his jammies to feed the horses with my mum.

‘She’s definitely raising my kids with me which is so special.’

Phoebe went on to say her mother Sarah is her ‘rock’ and described her as ‘so self sacrificing’.

It comes after Phoebe’s ex Sam revealed he was expecting his second child with his hairdresser wife Lucy.

Sam, who is coaching Warrington in the UK’s Super League, was married to Phoebe for four years before they split in 2019.

Sam and Lucy recently enjoyed a babymoon together in Capri, Italy, with Lucy sharing photos of the lavish getaway to Instagram.

In the images, the new bride, who married Sam just six months ago, was absolutely glowing.

The 33-year-old NRL WAG showed off her growing baby bump in a figure-hugging lace dress with a plunging neckline.

She cradled her baby bump and took in the breathtaking coastal views from their hotel balcony.

Another image showed the hairdresser’s bare bump in a loved-up mirror selfie with Sam, 36.

A third photo captured the married couple lounging in the sun by the beach, while a fourth depicted them relaxing by a pool.

‘A perfect weekend in Capri,’ she captioned her post.

The pair already share daughter Robbie, who they welcomed in September 2023.

Sam married Lucy in a lavish Italian wedding after two years of dating.

He proposed to Lucy in June 2023, just nine months after they went public with their relationship.
