Sam Burgess 'flees to Hollywood superstar Russell Crowe' after split with wife Phoebe'

Amid rumours of his split with wife Phoebe, Sam Burgess has reportedly fled to Russell Crowe's home in Nana Glen near Coffs Harbour. 

According to the Daily Telegraph, the NRL star is being consoled by the Hollywood actor after leaving his wife, three weeks after she gave birth to their second child Billy. 

'Russell has always looked after the Burgess boys. They're like sons to him. He isn't interested in taking sides but will do whatever he can to help Sam through what is clearly a difficult time,' a source told the Telegraph. 

Russell became close to the Burgess boys through Crowe's ownership of the team, which he and friends bought in 2006.

The news comes after the Daily Mail published pictures of Sam chatting to a pretty blonde at a party in Sydney on Boxing Day. 

'He looked happy, seemed to be having a good time. I noticed he wasn't with his wife, but didn't think much of it,' a source told the publication.

'But then when I saw the news yesterday that they split, I thought for someone to be smiling like that when they've just left their wife is full-on.'

Phoebe was reportedly spending the Christmas period with her parents place in Bowral and the couple are believed to have split just before then.

Last Wednesday Sam was pictured in the publication leaving the family's home in Sydney with three large suitcases and is believed to have gone to Russell's home shortly afterwards. 

Phoebe is currently staying in the couple's home withe the support of her mother Sarah Hooke and sister Gemma Fairbanks and husband Gem.

Fans have shows support for the mother of two. 

'I'm very sorry to hear what has happened,' one wrote. 'Sending all of my love during this difficult time.'

 'Look after yourself, mama' another commented. 

Others wrote: 'My heart is breaking for you' and 'You're doing an awesome job as a mum to a toddler and a newborn and you've got this.'

A source close to the pair told The Daily Telegraph that “things have been bad for a while”.

“They tried to keep it together but it all went to s**t, that's the honest truth. It is pretty messy,” the source said.
