Baby news for Melissa George: The Australian actress (49) has had her fourth child without any official announcement. The birth of her fourth son became known through a joint Instagram post with Kirstie Clements, the former editor-in-chief of Australian "Vogue". The first image in the photo series shows George nursing her newborn.
The photos were taken in France, where the actress has lived for years. Clements documented a joint road trip through Provence and along the Côte d'Azur. "From the delivery room straight into a Parisian heat wave (with a toddler ... challenging) and now on an epic road trip through Provence and the Côte d'Azur", Clements wrote about the images. She also included hashtags such as "#superwoman" and "#motheroffoursons".
George has kept details about her youngest son private so far. The 49-year-old has not publicly revealed either the name or the exact date of birth. However, she updated her Instagram bio and now describes herself there as "Mum to my 4 sons" ("Mother of my four sons").
In the comments, companions and fans offered their congratulations. "Beautiful mother of four", wrote photographer Julia Kovaljova, while actress Ivana Milicevic added: "Melissa!!! Four? Brava!!!! Tell me everything!"
Four sons, multiple chapters
Her two oldest sons are according to "People" from her relationship with French entrepreneur Jean-David Blanc, with whom George was involved from 2012 to 2016. After the separation, the actress remained in France. The reason was reportedly custody arrangements under which the shared children could not be permanently removed from the country without the consent of both parents. She introduced her third son (2) in March 2024 on Instagram - with a black-and-white photo and the words: "Welcome to the world, my little man. Love knows no end."
George became famous in the mid-1990s with her role in the Australian series "Home and Away", alongside Dieter Brummer, who died in 2021. In 1997, she left Australia to establish herself as an actress in the USA. International productions such as "Mulholland Drive" and "The Amityville Horror" followed.
In an interview with the magazine "Stellar", George recently spoke about raising her sons. "I was honestly never a real feminist. I don't fight for it", she said there. "I simply stand as an elegant woman, and that says enough." She didn't want to compete with men, but simply "act with love". Her sons should "respect women, of course, but men too".
