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.
