Bachelor stars Sam and Snezana Wood share Christmas Day photos with their children in Perth

They met on the third season of The Bachelor in 2015 and married late last year in Byron Bay.

And after five loved-up years as a couple, Sam and Snezana Wood proved they’re still going strong this festive season – as they shared a string of touching photos during their Christmas Day celebrations with their gorgeous children on Friday.

‘Merry Christmas and sending all our love and hugs,’ Sam wrote alongside pictures with the couple’s children; Willow Wendy, three, Charlie Lane, two, and Eve, 14, who is Snezana’s daughter from a previous relationship.

Sam, 40, couldn’t wipe the smile off his face as he cuddled little Charlie in his arms, while wife Snezana, 38, beamed next to him in a stunning – and very festive – red dress.

Sam also shared another sweet snap of his three children cuddled up to each other, before unveiling they’d received a scooter as a present under their Christmas tree.

The couple had travelled to Perth from Victoria to celebrate Christmas with Snezana’s family.

It’s been a busy year for the couple, who while raising a family have managed to keep alive a very successful business amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sam, who owns the popular fitness program 28 by Sam Wood, shares a passion for fitness with his glamorous wife.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia last year, he said Christmas can often be a tricky time for people trying to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine.

‘Everything in moderation. My philosophy is Christmas is a time to really enjoy yourself. Don’t overthink it, don’t be too restrictive, don’t be too hard on yourself… but also, don’t stop moving,’ he said.

‘Most people gain weight at this time of year because they eat more, drink more and exercise less. It’s a double negative.’

While he rarely goes to the gym over the festive period, Sam keeps fit by doing quick workouts ‘at home or in the backyard’, running, and playing with his children.
