“23/12/23…She said YES! The perfect way to bring 2023 to an end. We are so excited to start this next chapter of our lives together,” the caption said.
The post was inundated with congratulations and well-wishes from friends, fans and NRL players.
“Yes brother. Congrats legends,” NRL great Braith Anasta wrote.
“Congratssss skuxxxx deluxxxx guy,” former teammate Eddy Pettybourne added.
“Congratulations to you both,” former NRL player Paul Aiton said.
The couple have been dating since 2020 and have a one-year-old daughter, Charlotte.
That was Burgess’ second daughter after Grace (eight) was born with ex-partner Yolanda Hodgson.
Burgess began his rugby league career in the UK before moving to Australia to team up with brothers Sam, George and Tom at the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
He spent four seasons at the Rabbitohs before he was granted an early release to join the Manly Sea Eagles following an off-field incident at the club’s training camp in the US.
He finished his career back in the UK, but now lives in Sydney after officially becoming an Australian citizen earlier this year.
