"I have her every week, Monday to Friday, I’m a lucky dad and she’s amazing, she’s a beautiful girl who is growing up quick so I’m very very lucky,” Braith told Be.

“She’s amazing. I’ll take her away again once the season is over. She’s fantastic."

The doting dad, who retired from rugby league in 2014, said that despite his relationship ending with Jodi, who is currently starring in Neighbours, the pair still have a great friendship thanks to their daughter.

“The amazing part is Jodi and I are 50/50 split down the line, there is no animosity there, we get along really well and Aleeia sees that and sees that we are still friends," he said.
