- Melissa George has revealed that she has welcomed a fourth child.
- The 49-year-old, now a mother to four sons, shared a photo of her breastfeeding a newborn on Instagram.
- George is also mother to Raphael, 12, Solal, 10 and Lyor, 2.
Melissa George is introducing the world to her youngest son.
The *Home and Away *actress, 49, revealed on Sunday that she has quietly welcomed her fourth baby. The announcement came via a joint Instagram post with former *Vogue Australia* editor-in-chief Kirstie Clements.
In the post, Clements shared a candid shot of George breastfeeding her baby boy. The carousel also included photos of a trip through the French countryside and a few sweet snaps of her older children.
"From the maternity ward, straight into a Parisian heatwave (with a toddler…challenging) and now to an epic road trip through Provence and the Cǒte d’Azur," Clements wrote, tagging George in the post.
The *Alias* actress later reposted the photos of her kids, including the snap of her breastfeeding her newborn.
George is mother to three other sons: Raphael, 12, and Solal, 10 — whom she shares with ex Jean David Blanc — and Lyor, 2. George has not revealed whether she is currently in a relationship, nor has she disclosed the identity of the father of her youngest sons.
George similarly kept her third pregnancy on the down-low before revealing Lyor's birth with a March 2024 Instagram snap of the newborn's foot. "Welcome to the world my little man," she captioned the post. "Love knows no end. A mother of 3 sons. Cannot believe it. My heart is so full."

In June, during a sit-down with *Stellar**,* George reflected on her approach to raising her boys, sharing, "I have to be honest, I’ve never been a real feminist. I don't fight for it. I just stand as an elegant woman, and that speaks enough. What, am I gonna compete with a male? Men are fantastic. Go ahead, do your man thing. I’ll do my woman thing."
She continued, "I don’t compete, I just act with love. I want [my sons] to have good memories of a female figure in their life. I want them to have tummies full with the best food. I want them to respect women, of course, but respect men, too."

She added that she tried to "blur the line" when it comes to their perception of men and women. "If somebody wants to compete with me, and they’re a man, I’m like, 'OK, great. Trust me, you won’t win. But go ahead. You can try.'"

In the same conversation, the France-based actress reflected on her family visiting her while she was shooting a recent TV project in Australia.
"My mother visited because I’d just had baby Lyor, so she got to see her grandson," George explained. "It was a really good break for me, and also to do what I do best. I like to be on a set. I like to tell stories. I like to be good at my job and I love being a good mum."
