Daily Mail Australia has contacted Melissa George for comment. 

Melissa shares her sons, Raphaël, nine, and Solal, seven, with her ex-partner Jean-David Blanc, a French entrepreneur.

Due to a custody arrangement, their children can't leave France with their mother without their father's consent, which means she is now based in Paris.

Notoriously-private Melissa hasn't revealed if she is in a relationship.

She was previously married to Chilean furniture designer and film director Claudio Dabed from 2000 to 2011.
