A divorce order for the pair was issued ‘just before Christmas’, about 14 months after they separated.
Phoebe, 31, and Sam, 32, share custody of their two children, Billy, two, and Poppy, three.
Following the divorce announcement, Phoebe shared a photo of her left hand to Instagram, revealing that it was free of wedding or engagement rings – but she was sporting a fashionable gold pinkie ring.
Sam and Phoebe separated in September last year, and reportedly finalised their financial settlement at that time.

The Daily Telegraph reported that Phoebe had walked away with 70 per cent of the former couple’s marital wealth, including an F45 gym bought in the names of Sam Burgess and her older sister Jemima’s husband Gene Fairbanks in 2015.
She has since sold the gym.
The former journalist, who now promotes herself as a brand ambassador, also kept a $100,000 Range Rover which she is regularly seen driving around Bowral.

The Burgesses sold their Lurline Bay property in Maroubra, a beachside suburb in Sydney’s east, in January for $5million.
According to Realestate.com.au, the sale registered a profit of $1.2million. The French provincial home was bought in both their names in early 2016 for $3.8million
The former couple remain involved in an ugly legal dispute following their split.
Sam is accused of intimidating Phoebe’s father, Mitchell Hooke, at his Southern Highlands home in October 19, 2019.
The former Rabbitohs player is also charged with common assault in relation to the same alleged incident. Sam has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Police have also taken out an interim AVO to allegedly protect Mr Hooke from Burgess, who has had no contact with his former father-in-law for more than a year.
The hearing will continue in Moss Vale Local Court on January 22.
