Sam also has two children: daughter Poppy, six, and son Billy, four, with his ex-wife Phoebe Burgess.
They were married for four years before splitting in 2019.
The former Rabbitohs player proposed to Lucy in June, just nine months after they went public with their relationship.
He previously revealed he was extremely nervous when he proposed to the hairdresser in Leeds.
Appearing on Channel 7’s Sunrise shortly after returning to Australia, Sam was asked how he proposed to Lucy.
While he kept the details under wraps, he said: “I was actually very nervous, I kind of dropped the ball, it was a great day, a great break, we’re both very happy.”
Lucy recently made the decision to move down under from the UK permanently and it is believed her pregnancy was the reason why.
It was recently revealed that Lucy was formerly a member of British girl group The Ultra Girls, who played a major role on The X Factor UK in 2009.
