In a joyous turn of events, Australian model Madeline Holtzengel has quietly welcomed her first child with billionaire hospitality mogul Justin Hemmes. The couple, who have famously kept their relationship away from the public eye, are now embracing parenthood.
A Private Celebration
The birth marks a significant new chapter for Hemmes, 51, the charismatic CEO of the Merivale group, who is already a father to two daughters from previous relationships. For Holtzengel, this is her first child. True to form, the pair have managed to keep the most intimate details, including the baby's exact date of birth, name, and gender, a closely guarded secret.
Sources close to the couple suggest they are "over the moon" and enjoying a period of quiet, private bonding away from the glare of the Sydney social scene they usually inhabit.
From Runway to Motherhood
Madeline Holtzengel, a successful model, has been a constant and supportive presence by Hemmes' side for several years. The couple's low-profile approach has been a deliberate choice, a stark contrast to the high-octane world of his multi-million dollar empire, which includes some of Sydney's most iconic pubs, bars, and restaurants.
Her recent absence from social events had sparked speculation among followers, which has now been delightfully confirmed with the news of their new arrival.
A Billionaire's Growing Family
For Justin Hemmes, this new addition expands his family. He is a devoted father to his two older daughters, born during his previous relationship with fashion designer Kate Fowler. The birth of this new child cements a new era for one of Australia's most prominent business figures, blending his world of high-stakes commerce with the joys of family life.
Congratulations are undoubtedly in order for the couple as they embark on this beautiful new journey together, proving that even in the world of billionaires and models, life's most precious moments are often the ones kept most private.
