“We are very excited and happy to start this new chapter together… Happy days,” he said in a statement.
Lucy, who hails from the UK, recently made the decision to move Down Under permanently and her pregnancy is believed to have been the reason.
Burgess is already a doting father to his two children Poppy, four, and son Billy, three, with his ex-wife Phoebe Burgess (née Hooke), and though he can’t see them as much as he’d like, he provides for them wholeheartedly.
The friends say they are “beyond excited” Sam is starting a new chapter with Lucy by his side.

He’s crazy about Lucy. He’s been a whirlwind, but she’s a fantastic woman. They get along so well. All of her friends are very excited to see how happy she makes her,” a close friend said.
“The Burgesses are very family oriented and I think there was always a plan to start a family. From what I hear, she’s genuinely good for him. When they are together they apparently laugh all the time, she makes him laugh out loud.
Burgess, who was born in West Yorkshire, England, has known Lucy for around 20 years.
Lucy’s identity was revealed in October last year, after he took her as a chaperone to the premiere of Russell Crowe’s film Poker Face in Rome. Pictured together at the Poker Face premiere in Sydney last year

Lucy is the co-founder of the sustainable fashion brand Sentenced, which launched in September 2019.
Sam found love with Lucy after a series of flings that followed his acrimonious split from Phoebe in January 2019.
