The former rugby league footballer looked happy as he sidled up to the blonde on what appeared to be a double date with his brother, Luke, and his partner, Tori May.

Jade, who is a nutritionist based in Sydney, has been friends with the Burgesses for a while, and recently spruiked the brothers’ clothing label on Instagram.

In mid-December, Jade shared a cosy photo with Sam on Instagram and wished him a happy birthday.

‘Happy Birthday to this one of a kind,’ she captioned the snap.

Sam split from ex-wife Phoebe Burgess in late 2019, and reportedly legally divorced last month, just before Christmas. 

Sam is now defending charges of assaulting and intimidating her father, Mitchell Hooke.

Phoebe also admitted leaking a damning 50-page police statement she made about her ex-husband to a newspaper, which published allegations against him of domestic violence and drug misuse.

At the start of her evidence, Phoebe was asked to clarify the status of her relationship with Sam. ‘I’m his ex-wife,’ she told Moss Vale Local Court.

Under cross-examination she was questioned about whether she was still Phoebe Burgess or had reverted to calling herself Phoebe Hooke.

‘As long as my children are Burgess, I will always be Burgess,’ she said.

The Burgesses, who married in December 2015 and separated in October 2019, have two children: daughter Poppy, who turns four this month, and son Billy, two.
