Melissa Suzanne George is an Australian actress best known for her role on the soap opera Home and Away. She gained attention in Australia before transitioning to a successful acting career in the United States, where she appeared in notable television series such as Friends, Grey’s Anatomy, and The Good Wife.
In 1998, Melissa met Chilean film director Claudio Dabed while in Bali. The couple began dating and married in 2000. After more than a decade together, they announced their divorce in 2011. Speaking about their separation, Melissa mentioned that she had communicated her concerns with Claudio over a five-year period before deciding to part ways. One of her primary reasons for ending the relationship was her desire to have children—a desire that Claudio, who already had a daughter from a previous marriage, reportedly did not share. Melissa maintained that her relationship with her stepdaughter remains positive and that she would always care for her.
Following her divorce, Melissa briefly dated music mogul Russell Simmons, but the relationship ended due to the challenges of maintaining a long-distance romance. According to Simmons, Melissa had written to him expressing that the relationship was no longer working and that it was best to part ways.
Later in 2011, Melissa began a relationship with Jean-David Blanc, the French entrepreneur and founder of AlloCiné. In August 2013, she publicly announced that they were expecting their first child. Their son was born in 2014. There was no public record of a marriage between Melissa and Jean-David.
Shortly after ending her relationship with Simmons, Melissa was seen with Blanc at a BAFTA event, sparking rumors that her new relationship may have overlapped with the end of the previous one. However, Melissa has not confirmed any such timeline. Over the years, media outlets have speculated about her preferences in romantic partners, noting that several of her companions—including Claudio Dabed and Russell Simmons—were significantly older than her. These discussions have been largely speculative without formal acknowledgment from Melissa herself.
During her time on Home and Away, Melissa worked alongside actor Dieter Brummer. In an interview, Brummer reportedly stated that he asked the show’s producers to write his character off due to tensions on set, allegedly tied to rumors about his on-screen chemistry with Melissa. At the time, Melissa was in a relationship and may have found the rumors disruptive. Despite such reports, Melissa has continued to focus on her acting career and has maintained a significant presence in both Australian and international entertainment industries.
