Former Bachelor star Sam Wood has opened up about the loss of his mother when he was still just a teenager.

The 42-year-old made the heartbreaking tribute ahead of Mother’s Day in an interview with the Herald Sun on Saturday.

Sam’s mother, Wendy, died of lymphoma, when the entrepreneur was just 15-years-old.

He now mourns how his beloved mother never got the chance to meet his wife Snezana or their children.

‘I miss her every day,’ Sam told the publication.

‘But it was especially hard when I met the love of my life (Snezana),’ he continued. 

‘I would give anything to spend just an hour with (mum) and introduce her to my girls,’ he continued.

‘There is a really big part of me that is so determined to make her proud and show her that she raised me in a way that she would like what she sees,’ Sam said.

Sam shares three children with Snezana Wood (née Markoski), whom he met on the third season of The Bachelor in 2015.

The reality TV couple, who have been married for four years, welcomed their third daughter together, Harper Jones, on May 4, 2021.

They are also parents to Charlie, three, and Willow, four, who shares her middle name with late her grand mother.

Sam is also stepfather to 17-year-old Eve, Snezana’s daughter from a previous marriage.

Elsewhere in the chat Sam said he is helping his kids to write a special Mother’s Day message to Snezana.

It comes after the strapping reality star sold his fitness program, 28 by Sam Wood, for a whopping $71million last year.

The Melbourne-based personal trainer flogged the program to myDNA, which provides customers with personalised fitness and health plans based on an analysis of their DNA results.
