Gabby Logan openly discussed intimate details of her personal life on a podcast, which inadvertently became the background noise for her son’s workout sessions at the gym, leading to light-hearted teasing from his teammates.
Reuben Logan, a Scotland Under-20s international now playing for Sale Sharks, found himself lifting weights in the gym while his mother, the fresh face of Match of the Day, shared candid conversations about her sex life with his father, Kenny.
Following in his father’s footsteps, who is a former Scotland and Wasps wing, Reuben faced a challenging situation when his parents’ public discussion about their private life garnered attention in the media and on Gabby’s podcast, “The Mid Point,” much to the amusement of his rugby peers who looped the episode during their training sessions.
Reflecting on the incident, Reuben disclosed his discomfort, recalling how he had to request his mother to stop the podcast playing in the gym as it drew unwanted attention. He highlighted the need for sensitivity considering his rugby environment and the impact on his reputation among his peers.
Kenny, after successfully overcoming prostate cancer, shared his journey of recovery, noting the fluctuations in his sexual function and the gradual progress he experienced post-surgery. Reuben expressed his initial shock at his father’s diagnosis but emphasized that it fueled his determination to excel on the rugby field.
Having recently made a move from Northampton to Sale, Reuben aims to build on his Premiership debut and continue his upward trajectory in professional rugby, driven by a desire to make his father proud.
