The couple celebrated their engagement last year and have been together since 2018.

Moses met his daughter for the first time via FaceTime.

He admitted at the time Bri wasn’t too pleased about his commitment to the team.

“She was a bit a bit filthy at the start when she got put in and said this is how it’s gonna happen,” Moses recalled.

“But she understood. She’s supported me through everything.

“But I have a family now – all this is for them.”
