Rugby league great Sam Burgess may have found his ideal wife.
After his breakup with Phoebe Hooke, the influencer daughter of a millionaire miner, the down-to-earth Yorkshireman is now dating a working-class woman from his neck of the woods.
His new girlfriend is Lucy Graham, a hairdresser and fashion designer from Leeds, whom he has known since his early teens.
NRL legend Sam Burgess’ new girlfriend has been identified as Lucy Graham, a hairdresser from Leeds, England. They attended the Poker Face premiere in Rome, Italy on Sunday
Her identity was revealed after the retired South Sydney Rabbitohs star, 33, took her as his date to the premiere of Russell Crowe’s film Poker Face in Rome on Sunday.
Lucy is the co-founder and designer of sustainable fashion label Sentenced, which launched in September 2019. So dramatic online.
Sam’s new partner is English and they’ve known each other for some 20 years, a source close to the footy player told Daily Mail Australia.
While her social media accounts have all switched to private, archived photos show she’s not afraid to get in front of the camera.

While it’s not known how long they’ve been together, Sam has told friends to “take it easy.”
Sam’s date looked glamorous in a deep black mini dress, which she paired with a Chanel handbag as an accessory.
She completed her look with gold strappy sandals and a matching bracelet.

Although Sam does not appear in the film, he was invited on the red carpet as Russell’s “bodyguard.”
Sam has been following Russell around the world for the past year as his assistant and driver.

He was hired to work on the set of Poker Face, which was filmed in Sydney.
Sam’s new relationship comes after a string of affairs that followed his bitter breakup with ex-wife Phoebe in January 2019.
The father of two is said to have had a brief date with Daily Mail Australia columnist Jana Hocking in January this year, as well as with American waitress Oak Schuetz in late 2019.
Meanwhile, Phoebe, who shares daughter Poppy aged four and son Billy aged three with the English rugby league star, has remained single since their divorce.
She lives near her parents in Bowral, about 120 km from Sydney.
