Alert – Sam Burgess looks dashing in tailored black suit as he marries Lucy Graham at a 17th-century villa in Rome

Sam Burgess has tied the knot with Lucy Graham in Rome, Italy. 

The former NRL star and his ladylove shared the news to Instagram on Monday evening alongside a carousel of breathtaking images captured at Villa Aurelia.

The 17th-century Baroque property is set on the highest point within the walls of Rome and features breathtaking views of the city.

Weddings in the picturesque setting begin at $18,000, with the venue being able to accommodate up to 300 guests. 

Lucy looked heavenly on Sunday in a Champagne-hued gown by designer Paula Nadal that featured a structured bodice that tumbled into a floor-length voluminous skirt.

The 33-year old blonde beauty added a touch of drama to her look with a long veil that tumbled behind her, also reaching the floor, while clutching a dainty bouquet.   

She wore her frosted hair parted for the ceremony and highlighted her delicate features with a subtle makeup palette.

Meanwhile, Sam, 35, appeared to channel fictional character James Bond in a tailored black suit paired with a white pocket square.

Sam proposed to Lucy in June 2023, just nine months after they went public with their relationship.

The couple welcomed daughter Robbie into the world in September 2023.

‘[It happened] during grand final week, we’re cheering,’ Sam revealed on Channel Seven’s Sunrise.

‘I‘m on very limited sleep and am getting used to that again but it’s great!‘ the proud father said.

‘She is fantastic and beautiful just like her mother,’ he added.
