Home and Away star Melissa George has welcomed her third baby at the age of 47.
The actress, who is best known for her role as Angel Parrish in the Australian soap, shared her exciting news with her followers. She admitted her "heart is so full" as she welcomed a baby boy earlier this month. Melissa announced her new arrival by sharing a sweet black and white photo of her newborn's feet.
She said: "Welcome to the world my little man. Love knows no end. A mother of 3 sons. Cannot believe it. My heart is so full." The 47-year-old was flooded with messages as one said: "Congrats so happy for you!!!" Another added: "Congratulations amazing news xxxx." Someone else commented: "Mum of three boys here too - it’s the best club in the world!"
Melissa was already mum to sons Raphaël, nine, and Solal, seven, with her ex-partner Jean-David Blanc, a French entrepreneur.
