Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and fiancee Ashley Walker celebrate birth of daughter

Baby celebrations are underway for Warriors captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and his fiancée Ashley Walker.

Tuivasa-Sheck took to Instagram last night to announce the birth of a daughter and to praise his partner and thank everyone for their support.

"Support has been unreal, thank you's! Ash & bub doing really well & damn Respect to all you Mother's out there," he posted.

Tuivasa-Sheck stayed in Auckland while his teammates took on the Eels in Syndey two weeks ago, but played in the Warriors loss to the Rabbitohs last week at Mount Smart.

Warriors and Kiwis teammate Shaun Johnson was among other professional athletes, like Israel Dagg, Stan Walker and Monty Betham to congratulate Tuivasa-Sheck.

The Warriors have a bye this week ahead of the first State of Origin game on Wednesday before taking on Manly next Saturday.
