Luke Burgess is very much in doting dad mode, having recently welcomed son Jackson with fiancé Tori May.
Luke, 37, showed his fatherly side on Thursday night when he took to social media to share an adorable clip of his one-month-old.
The UK-born former NRL player shared a short clip to his Instagram story that showed Jackson resting peacefully in dad’s lap.
Luke, meanwhile cradled Jackson’s head, with a hand under his tiny chin as the cherubic bub stared into the camera.
It appeared that it had been a big day for Jackson, whose sleepy eyes drooped to close as he sat, comfortable and safe.
‘All tuckered out,’ Luke captioned the cute-as-a-button post however it was unclear if he was referring to the bub or himself.
Along with Jackson, Luke and Tori also share daughter Charlotte, two.
Luke also shares a daughter Grace, eight, with his ex-partner Yolanda Hodgson, who he dated for seven years until their 2019 split.

He started dating Tori in early 2020 with Luke popping the question at Shelly Beach in Manly in December.
Luke also showed off his tender side last month when he shared a sweet video showing him hamming it up with his two young children.
The sweet footage captured the former Rabbitohs star lying on a couch while tenderly cradling his one-week old in one arm while holding his daughter in the other, and play-growling at her.
