Aussie star Melissa George’s rare update after secretly giving birth at 49

Aussie actress Melissa George has given a rare update after secretly welcoming her fourth child at 49.

George, who kept her pregnancy under wraps until posting a picture on July 5, shared a recent image of her planting a kiss on her newborn son while holidaying in France.

In the photo, the Perth-born star sat roadside in Europe wearing a white t-shirt, floral linen skirt and swept her hair in relaxed ponytail.

She held her baby close to her for cuddles.

George has been holidaying in St Tropez, her first-ever visit to the destination, where she also shared a sweet snap cosying up to her son.

Nobody knew of George’s pregnancy until she announced the arrival of her fourth son with a photo of her breastfeeding, posted jointly with friend and former Vogue Australia Editor-in-Chief, Kirstie Clements.

“@melissageorgeofficial From the maternity ward, straight into a Parisian heatwave (with a toddler…challenging),” Clements captioned the initial post.

“And now to an epic road trip through Provence and the Cǒte d’Azur, first stop @hotelcrillonlebrave #superwoman #motheroffoursons! #roadtrip #provence,” she finished.

The baby’s name has not been revealed nor has George revealed the identity of his dad, who is also believed to be the father of her third child Lyor Gatsby Gene George, whom she welcomed in 2024.

George shares sons, Raphaël, 12, and Solal, 10, with her French ex-partner Jean-David Blanc. She has not publicly confirmed a new partner since.

George rose to fame as Angel Parris on Home and Away in the 1990s. She went on to forge her a successful Hollywood career appearing in Grey’s Anatomy, The Slap and Triangle.

In March 2024, George welcomed her third child, Lyor Gatsby Gene George, announcing the birth on Instagram by sharing a sweet black and white picture of her baby son’s feet.

George previously reflected on motherhood when speaking to The Sydney Morning Herald.

“Having children, for me, will go down in my life as the greatest, most victorious, thing I’ve ever done,” she said.
