“It’s my destiny to be surrounded by beautiful women!

Little Mabel is beyond adorable!

Mabel is the newest addition to their clan, following Sam and Rebecca’s eldest daughter Margot who was born in September 2022.

“This is a love I never even knew existed. I’m overwhelmed & still processing it all right now. My girls. Wow,” Sam wrote when announcing Margot’s arrival.

Since then, the family have shared many experiences together and created long-lasting memories. One of which being Sam and Rebecca getting engaged!

“Ladies & gentlemen, my fiancée! She said yes 💍,” Sam wrote on Instagram on 30 Decemeber 2023.

“My secret 2023 New Year’s resolution was to propose to my darling Rebecca sometime this year….So I guess this is what you’d call a “buzzer beater” 🏀

“She’s calm, strong & unintentionally funny. She’s super smart & a genuine knockout beauty. She makes me a better man.

“Earlier this morning in front of her parents & brother… I told her I’m in love with every version of her & asked her to be mine forever, she said yes.”

Little Mabel is the perfect addition to their beautiful growing family!
