Benji Marshall has given a raw account of his feelings on fatherhood, revealing how attracted he was watching wife Zoe give birth.

NRL great Benji Marshall has opened up on how he felt watching wife Zoe give birth, revealing how attracted he was to her in that moment.

Speaking on Zoe’s podcast The Deep, the recently-retired footy star said his love for his wife “went to another level” and he felt like wanting to “make another baby” as she gave birth.

“In that moment, after she has given birth and seeing her go through all of that stuff, your love for your wife or my love for Zoe went to another level,” Benji said.

“I can’t even explain it. I was looking at her and it sounds crazy but in that moment I was thinking like, ‘Let’s just make another baby now’. That’s how I was feeling.

“She was … I won’t say turning me on, but she had me in a zone where I was just like, ‘I am all for this’. You’ve got to remember, she is making my dreams come true as well at the same time.”

Benji and Zoe got married in 2013 and have two children together — Fox, three, and Ever, four months.

Not knowing his birth dad, Benji always wanted kids of his own and he spoke of his admiration for Zoe in giving him the gift of fatherhood.

“For me growing up, all I ever wanted to do was be a dad,” he said on The Deep. “My mum had me at 15 years of age and I didn’t know my real dad so there was always a part of me that wanted to become a dad and fill a space that I reckon I never got to have.

“When we finally got pregnant with Fox, it was the greatest feeling in the world. Giving birth to Fox was the best day of my life and when we found out we were pregnant with Ever and we found out it was a girl, it was just different being a dad knowing you were about to have a girl. It was a dream come true.

“To see the person you love sacrifice nine months of their life to help you become a parent and fulfil your dream is pretty special. My love sort of went to another level. The connection between us went to another level, even though she was vomiting for most of it.

“The sickness and stuff that comes along with pregnancy is so crazy. I was just so proud of the way she handled it.”

Benji retired after Souths lost this year’s NRL grand final to Penrith, ending a professional career that lasted nearly two decades. He debuted in first grade in 2003 and guided the Wests Tigers to the 2005 premiership.

The 36-year-old also played rugby union and enjoyed stints with St George and Brisbane before re-joining the Tigers, then eventually signing with the Rabbitohs for 2021.

Benji won the 2008 World Cup with New Zealand but none of the highs he reached on the footy field compare to the joy he felt in becoming a father.

“I didn’t realise how selfish my life was until we had children,” he said.

“I didn’t realise how much you just do things for yourself and not really worry about what’s happening with the rest of the world.

“They have turned my life into something so much better and made my life so much more. Being a parent is the best thing in the world.”
