Joanna looked radiant as she flaunted her burgeoning baby bump in an olive green T-shirt, which she teamed with white shorts for the occasion. 

The blonde beauty accessorised her look with a pair of aviator sunglasses and styled her flaxen-coloured locks in a half-up-half-down ‘do.

And the family snap comes after NRL star Sam Burgess and Phoebe are reportedly ‘back to normal’, three months after their shock split.

Back on track? The family snap comes after NRL star Sam Burgess (left) and Phoebe (right) are reportedly ‘back to normal’, three months after their shock split 

In pictures obtained by News Corp, the former magazine journalist and Sam showed no signs of strain at Sydney’s Redfern Oval last Saturday.

The paper said the couple are ‘well and truly back together’ as they bonded with their children, daughter Poppy, three, and son Billy, three months.    

Photos published by the paper on Saturday, saw the pair looking relaxed and at ease, ahead of the NRL Rabbitohs versus Titans game at ANZ Stadium on Sunday.

Reports: The Daily Telegraph reported on Saturday that the couple have patched things up, following their ‘messy’ marriage split in December. Phoebe is pictured with the couple’s daughter Poppy, two 

Phoebe, 29, cradled son Billy, while Sam, 30, doted on their precious daughter Poppy.  

The united front comes after Sam split from his wife of three years, Phoebe in December, just three weeks after the birth of their second child Billy. 

The breakup came after Sam was cleared of any wrongdoing by his South Sydney club after he was embroiled in a sexting scandal.

In February, the footy star reportedly moved out of celebrity accountant, Anthony Bell’s, $11.5 million Dover Heights mansion and back into the $3.8 million Maroubra home he shares with Phoebe. 

An insider told The Sydney Morning Herald at the time, that they are ‘working on things’ for the sake of their young children.

Earlier this month, the couple, who married in 2015 after one year of dating, were spotted together at Gordon’s Bay.

An onlooker told Daily Mail Australia that Sam and phoebe ‘looked loved-up and very much back together’.

Meanwhile, Joanna was criticised after publicly commenting on her brother-in-law Sam’s split from wife Phoebe three months ago. 

The WAG, who is the wife of Sam’s brother George Burgess, shared a surprisingly candid Instagram post at the time, revealing that Phoebe had ‘never joined the Burgess side of the family’ for Christmas in the past.

Joanna’s revelation prompted one of her social media followers to say she had displayed a ‘lack of compassion and humility’.

The interior design student subsequently turned off all comments on her Instagram.

One critic wrote: ‘You made a comment as though you had no care in the world for your sister-in-law. 

‘It was the inability to show compassion and humility that caught the attention of your followers because however close you might be now with your husband and his family, another in a very similar circumstances was suffering [sic].’

They concluded: ‘Compassion and looking outside your circumstances is the real test of character and that post demonstrates you have neither.’

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Joanna Burgess for comment.  

The purpose of Joanna’s original post about the Burgess family’s annual Christmas lunches was to shut down speculation that she had taken a ‘swipe’ at Phoebe.

In another post shared to Instagram late last year, Joanna had claimed the most recent get-together, which took place at a restaurant in Watson’s Bay, ‘was the best one yet’. 

Phoebe wasn’t pictured in the family photo, leading fans to wonder whether Joanna’s post was a thinly-veiled swipe at her sister-in-law.

But Joanna clarified last week: ‘It is not in my nature to take a dig at someone.

‘Phoebe has never joined the Burgess side for previous Christmas festivities. Therefore it couldn’t possibly be aimed at her!’

She continued: ‘My last year’s Christmas upload I used a similar caption as it was our son’s first Christmas. This year we had our daughter join the three of us, hence it being the “best one yet”‘.

Joanna later deleted the post.

It comes after Daily Mail Australia revealed that Phoebe had unfollowed Joanna and George Burgess on Instagram.

Shortly afterwards, Joanna likewise unfollowed Phoebe.

At the time, reports surfaced describing Phoebe and Sam’s marriage split as ‘pretty messy’. 

A close friend of the former couple told The Daily Telegraph that ‘things have been bad for a while’. 

The insider explained that the break-up was particularly hard on Phoebe because Sam’s mother Julie was standing by her son.

‘It would have been hard for Phoebe because Julie would have completely stuck by Sam… and there’s talk she didn’t offer Phoebe much support,’ they claimed.

Sam and Phoebe separated shortly before Christmas, just weeks after the birth of their second child, son William ‘Billy’ Burgess. 

Fans soon began rallying behind the glamorous journalist on Instagram after news of the split made headlines. 

‘I’m very sorry to hear what has happened. Sending all of my love during this difficult time,’ one person commented.

Other comments included: ‘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.’  

Sam also disabled comments on some of his Instagram photos where he was pictured with Phoebe due to trolling. 

Sam and Phoebe first met at an Avicii concert in Sydney in January 2014.

They kept their fledgling relationship a secret for eight months, before making their debut as a couple at the Dally M Awards in Sydney in September that year. 

Their relationship progressed quickly and just a month later, in October 2014, Phoebe relocated to England to support her boyfriend after he signed with a rugby union team in Bath, Somerset.

Support: Sam and Phoebe (pictured on February 11, 2016 in Sydney) married in December 2015. In January 2017, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Poppy Alice. Their second child, son William ‘Billy’ Mark, was born only last month

Hard times: Despite welcoming their son Billy in December last year, there’s no denying 2018 was a difficult year for the NRL’s ‘golden couple’ 

By June 2015, they were engaged following a romantic holiday in Greece. 

The couple returned to Sydney in November 2015, after Sam re-signed with the South Sydney Rabbitohs, and they married a month later in December 2015 at Phoebe’s parents’ home in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales.

In January 2017, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Poppy Alice, two. 

Their second child, son William ‘Billy’ Mark, was born last December.

Fairytale romance: Sam was involved in an NRL ‘sexting’ scandal in September 2018 when it emerged his verified Facebook account was used to solicit a nude video chat with a 23-year-old woman. He was later cleared of any wrongdoing. Pictured with Phoebe in December 2015
