Phoebe Burgess was all smiles as she hit Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse for this year’s Derby Day after it was revealed this week an apprehended violence order taken by her father against her husband for intimidation was upheld.
The 30-year-old, who recently split from husband, NRL star Sam Burgess, put on a brave face as she hit the OTT marquees.

“Little rain never hurt anyone,” she captioned some pictures of her in a polka-dot, black number.
It comes after her ex Sam was charged with intimidation after an alleged row with Mitchell Hooke, according to The Daily Telegraph.
Sam was issued with a temporary apprehended violence order on Saturday, October 19, after a clash with Mitchell in Bowra.
The British sportsman is thought to have been visiting his children, two-year-old Poppy and 10-month-old Billy, who are believed to have relocated to Bowral with their mother Phoebe after their split.
Mitchell reportedly asked Sam to leave the family’s three-hectare Glenquarry farm – which Sam did – but police were called about 4 pm.
It hasn’t been a good few weeks for Sam. On Wednesday, he announced his retirement from NRL as a result of a chronic shoulder injury that blighted his 2019 NRL season.
“This decision was one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make in my life,” he said.
This week, he was also romantically linked with Married At First Sight star Jessika Power, but she has since, sort of, denied those rumours.
On Sunday, leaked footage showed Sam partying on a yacht in Cabo, Mexico, with a bikini-clad woman on his shoulders – despite his shoulder injury. He was there to celebrate the 50th birthday of NRL star Sean Garlick with his brother and fellow rugby player, Luke Burgess.
Earlier this year, Sam split from wife Phoebe three weeks after the birth of his second child Billy Mark. The split came after Sam was cleared of any wrongdoing in the sexting scandal that happened in September when Phoebe was 28 weeks pregnant.
They rekindled their marriage in April, but split again in October.
