Background

Ulberg was born in New Zealand to parents of German, Māori and Samoan descent.[3] He was raised by a foster family in South Auckland from the age of four[4] and attended Hillary College throughout his upbringing.[5] Ulberg began playing rugby league as a child, a sport in which he would later compete at the semi-professional level when he became a Counties-Manukau representative.[6] He was a contestant on the Game Of Bros reality television show in 2018 and was twice offered the opportunity to star in New Zealand's version of The Bachelor.[7]

Ulberg works part-time as a model.[8]
