Sam Burgess and his pregnant girlfriend Lucy Graham were enjoying a date night out together before their baby arrives on Saturday night.
The footballer and the hairdresser, who both hail from the United Kingdom, headed out to Sydney’s Bridge Hotel where they watched friend Russell Crowe perform.
After the show, the pair mingled outside with friends and had a cuddle and a smooch, drawing close together in the cold night air.
Sam, 34, held Lucy close to his chest, where she snuggled in against his slate grey wool jumper.
Lucy, 33, hid her bump under a loose camel coat which she paired with blue jeans and a YSL purse.
Sam and Lucy were among the punters watching Russell Crowe hit the stage as part of his Indoor Garden Party Tour.
Russell was joined on stage by his American girlfriend Britney Theriot, 31, who served as a back-up singer.
The Gladiator star, 59, is playing a series of gigs on the east coast, and will play the Sydney Opera House on June 9, with Marcia Hines appearing as a special guest.
Despite his successful acting career, Russell has always had an interest in singing.
In the 1980s he recorded a track called I Want to Be Like Marlon Brando under the name Russ le Roq.
He soon became the lead singer of the band 30 Odd Foot of Grunts.
Meanwhile, footballer Sam confirmed in March he was expecting his third child, his first with Lucy.
The NRL coach already shares two older children, Poppy, four, and Billy, three, with his ex-wife Phoebe Burgess (née Hooke).
‘We are so excited and happy to be starting this new chapter together… Happy days,’ he said in a statement.
Friends said Sam was ‘beyond excited’ to start a new chapter with Lucy by his side.
‘He’s mad about Lucy. It’s been a whirlwind but she is a fantastic woman,’ the source said.
‘They get along so well. All of his friends are so thrilled to see how happy he makes her.’
