Burgess did not attend the celebration.

Graham has been back at home in the United Kingdom and shared images of her wild baby shower with her 5000 Instagram followers.

Her photos also included a graphic cake which depicted the head of a baby crowning during birth.

However, it is the hint at a wedding that has caught the eye of most fans. The Daily Telegraph suggests it is possible the event iin the UK doubled as a wedding for close friends and families that may be unable to attend a wedding held in Australia.

The couple first went public with their relationship in November.

The pair both hail from the UK, with Graham recently moving to Australia to start a family with the current South Sydney assistant coach.

Burgess split with his now ex-wife Phoebe in 2019, with whom he shares children Poppy, four, and Billy, three.
