A former professional rugby league footballer who was left paralyzed after a severe spinal cord injury on the field never gave up hope, persevering through the darkest days by being there for the birth of his second son and now navigating life as a quadriplegic.
Former National Rugby League (NRL) player Nathan Stapleton, 32, and his wife, 31-year-old Kate, have been together for 15 years. The pair grew up in two small towns in northern New South Wales, Australia, and met as teens through a mutual friend. Today they have two kids together, toddler Harry and 7-month-old Angus, and the family’s bond is unbreakable.
