NRL star Sam Burgess and his pregnant girlfriend Lucy Graham are expecting their first child together.
And the happy couple were spotted for the first time since announcing the happy news, looking all-loved-up at the glamorous Longines Queen Elizabeth Stake Day in Royal Randwick on Saturday.
Despite only going public with their relationship six months ago, Sam and Lucy were ecstatic to share with the world two weeks ago that they’re expecting a baby soon.
Lucy was glowing at the star-studded event as she showed a hint of a baby bump in a long black cut-out gown.
The dress featured a sheer bottom with two cut outs at her chest and torso and puffed sleeves. The pair joined a host of stars at the races on Saturday.

Her long blonde locks were pinned back off her face with a black headband and she opted for a full-glam makeup look with a dark eye and nude-pink lip.
She kept accessories to a minimum with silver earrings and a black YSL envelope clutch bag.
The mother-to-be matched her gown with a pair of strappy black heeled sandals.
She looked ecstatic as she stood beside her NRL boyfriend Sam, 34, who looked dapper in a navy suit.

Two weeks ago, the retired NRL great confirmed the happy news to Daily Mail Australia that he and his new girlfriend are expecting their first child together.
‘We are so excited and happy to be starting 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 it’s believed her pregnancy was the reason.

Burgess is already a doting father to his two children Poppy, four, and son Billy, three, with his ex-wife Phoebe Hooke, and while he isn’t able to see them as much as he’d like, he provides for them unconditionally.
Friends say they are ‘beyond excited’ Sam is starting a new chapter with Lucy by his side.
‘He’s mad about Lucy. It’s been a whirlwind but she is a fantastic woman. They get along so well. All of his friends are so thrilled to see how happy he 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 is genuinely good for him. When they’re together apparently they laugh all the time – she cracks him up.’

Burgess, who was born in West Yorkshire, England, has known Lucy for about 20 years.
Her identity was revealed in October last year, after he took her as his date to the premiere of Russell Crowe’s film Poker Face in Rome.
Lucy is the co-founder of the sustainable fashion label 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.
