Phoebe Burgess makes shock sex confession after split with ex-NRL star husband Sam

Former WAG turned influencer Phoebe Burgess has made a huge revelation about her sex life following her high profile split with ex-NRL star Sam.

Former WAG Phoebe Burgess has revealed she hasn’t had sex with anyone “in a really long time” as she returns to dating following her split from NRL star husband Sam in 2019.

Speaking on her Under the Gloss podcast this week, the influencer, 32, also admitted she was “high maintenance” in relationships.

Phoebe was discussing her sex life in a conversation with make-up artist Max Sorrento and sex coach Georgia Grace about polyamorous relationships.

She revealed she had been listening to Grace’s podcast on her way to the studio.

“I had Georgia’s voice blaring through the radio, and you have to press this little intercom and then he gives me my pass,” she said.

“So I pulled up, and then your beautiful voice as I put the window down said, ‘You know, people don’t come to me just for ten tips on how to get ten orgasms a day.’ And this poor guy is looking at me handing over my security card and I was like, ‘It’s research.’ And he’s like, ‘No I didn’t hear anything, you don’t have to explain.’”

Phoebe said it was “one of those moments that I thought, why are we so weird about sex?”

“I felt like saying to him, ‘It’s OK I haven’t had an orgasm from someone in a really long time.’ It’s definitely not about me,” she said.

She also called herself “high maintenance” when dating.

“I’m high maintenance, if someone was dating me, not when someone is hanging out with me, I’m very chill,” she said. “But I like to know when I’m texting, I’m getting texted back.”

She asked Sorrento, who is in an open relationship, “So how do you find time for three of me?”

It comes just months after the mother-of-two declared she wasn’t interested in dating again.

“What am I going to put on my Tinder profile,” she said in an interview with Vogue Australia. “Sleeps in same bed as daughter. Lives with parents. Enormous public baggage. I don’t know why, but people seem to want me to enter a new phase, but I’m content here for the moment.”

Phoebe, who launched her podcast last month, told The Daily Telegraph she intended to share her way to healing.

“Everything I’ve been through is this amalgamation of who I am now,” she said.

“There is something on the other side, I haven’t necessarily found that completely yet but that’s the hope that I guess, you move through life. I just want them to know it’s not all glamorous. It’s not perfect, but there is life after pain.”

The influencer’s four-year marriage to the former Rabbitohs great ended in 2019, two years after she found out he had been having an affair with a Melbourne woman.

She later accused Sam of domestic violence, but a 12-month police investigation did not result in any charges.

Sam, 33, appeared on reality program SAS Australia and gave an emotional account of his struggles with his family implosion and legal issues.

He admitted to falling into a cycle of using drugs and drinking heavily before checking himself into a rehab clinic for four weeks.

Earlier this year the NRL found him guilty of taking illicit drugs and breaching its code of conduct.

The code handed him a $30,000 fine and 12-week suspension.

But the NRL cleared Sam of allegations of domestic violence, finding there was not sufficient evidence to support the claims.

It meant he was free to return to the Souths as assistant coach.

“I am appalled,” Phoebe told The Australian at the time. “This conversation is not over. But this is not just about me. It’s about what women are worth to the NRL.”
