- Cameron Munster opens up about his newborn daughter
- Blake was born seven weeks premature and is still hospitalized.
- Storm’s gun is taking care of her two children with the help of her mother.
Cameron Munster has shared a personal family situation that has followed him to the NRL finals.
The Melbourne Storm, Munster, player will be hoping to help book his side’s place in the grand final when they take on Cronulla Sharks this weekend, having led the team to the minor premiership this year.
But off the football pitch, the five-eighth has played the role of supportive husband and father after his wife, Bianca, gave birth to their third child seven weeks early.
“My wife had a small complication, so the baby had to be born a little early, but that’s life, unfortunately,” he said of his daughter’s birth. “They’re both doing well, so there are no problems.”
Munster is caring for the couple’s two children while her daughter remains in hospital and revealed she is receiving help from her mother.
“My mother is here, she’s staying here for a month. I’m a mama’s boy and she helps me with the housework, which is ideal.”
Asked if the off-field ordeal is having an impact on his game, Munster joked: “A lot of people know me, there’s not a lot of movement up top so it’s not a big issue for me.”

Munster’s newborn daughter Blake arrived seven weeks early
Munster is caring for the two children he shares with his wife Bianca while Blake is in the hospital.
Munster and his wife Bianca announced the birth of their daughter Blake with a gushing social media post last month.
“We are absolutely amazed by the newest addition to our family who made a grand entrance 7 weeks early – our little girl Blake Maria Munster,” Munster posted on social media.
The couple became parents in 2021 when their son Jaxon was born, and welcomed their second child, Jagger, last year.
The happy announcement prompted an outpouring of messages from football players and friends, including Latrell Mitchell and Ryan Papenhuyzen.
The missed chance to win the 2021 championship still stings at Munster and is fuelling their quest to make amends in this year’s NRL finals series.
