Owen Farrell may be rugby royalty with his dad Andy coaching the Lions, but off the pitch, he\u2019s scored big with his wife\u00a0Georgie Lyon\u00a0\u2014 the real MVP in the Farrell family scrum.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As he prepares to captain the British & Irish Lions for the first time, we take a peek into the life of the woman who\u2019s been cheering him on from the sidelines (quietly, mind you).<\/p>\n

GEORGIE WHO?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re trying to find Georgie Lyon on Instagram, good luck. She\u2019s as low-key as Owen\u2019s goal celebrations. Despite her ultra-private profile, Georgie\u2019s been spotted at plenty of Owen\u2019s matches over the years.<\/p>\n

The couple have been an item for yonks, and while she stays under the radar, it\u2019s believed she works in\u00a0event planning for charities<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 organising things while Owen organises backlines.<\/p>\n

THE BIG DAY? SOME MIGHT SAY IT WAS A HIT \ud83c\udfa4<\/p>\n

The pair got engaged in 2017 and made it official the following year in a ceremony that sounds like a proper knees-up.<\/p>\n

On the night, Owen and dad Andy jumped on the mic for a duet of\u00a0Some Might Say\u00a0by Oasis. Yes, really.<\/p>\n

Georgie turned heads in a stunning white gown with off-the-shoulder sleeves and her blonde hair in an elegant up-do. No rucks or mauls \u2013 just romance.<\/p>\n

WELCOME TO TEAM FARRELL<\/p>\n

Owen and Georgie became parents to\u00a0Tommy<\/strong>\u00a0in 2019, and\u00a0Freddie<\/strong>\u00a0followed in March 2021. Fun fact: Georgie went into labour with Tommy\u00a0the night before a Saracens match<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Saracens boss Mark McCall explained:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOwen\u2019s wife went into labour on Friday night\u2026 He phoned me at half past two saying \u2018in the next half hour\u2019\u2026 I said \u2018Owen, the game starts at quarter past three!’\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Priorities, eh?<\/p>\n

A FAMILY AFFAIR ON THE PITCH<\/p>\n

Tommy and Freddie aren\u2019t just mascots \u2013 they\u2019re practically part of the squad.<\/p>\n

During the\u00a0Six Nations Grand Slam decider<\/strong>\u00a0in 2022, the boys joined their dad on the pitch at the Aviva Stadium. Little Tommy even rocked an Ireland jersey, which raised a few eyebrows.<\/p>\n

Owen recalled:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI asked him why he has got one. He said, \u2018It\u2019s grandad\u2019s team\u2019 and I said \u2018well, you can wear a suit like grandad does, then, not the kit.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Brutal, but fair.<\/p>\n

IN SUMMARY: THE UNSUNG HERO<\/p>\n

While Owen Farrell dominates headlines and defensive lines, Georgie Lyon is the calm presence keeping the Farrell household ticking.<\/p>\n

She may not be the type to post selfies or stories, but behind every great rugby man\u2026 there\u2019s a Georgie keeping it classy.<\/p>\n
