Pregnant model Madeline Holtznagel, 27, radiated confidence as she arrived at Sydney Airport via private jet with billionaire boyfriend Justin Hemmes, 52, on Sunday. The couple appeared to be returning from a tropical babymoon, with Madeline showcasing her natural pregnancy glow by going makeup-free. She wore a sheer white spaghetti-strap gown, a straw sun hat partially covering her baby bump, and accessorized with a yellow netted bag and tan clutch. Justin kept it casual in a blue T-shirt and white shorts as the pair headed to a waiting car.

The duo’s low-key yet stylish arrival follows November 2025 reports confirming Madeline’s pregnancy. A source revealed Justin had a friend move out of his Vaucluse mansion to prepare for their growing family. The Merivale CEO, worth $1.39 billion, shares daughters Alexa and Saachi with ex-partner Kate Fowler. He and Madeline began dating in 2019, sparking attention for their 25-year age gap.

Despite their private nature, the couple has been spotted at high-profile events, including Pilates instructor Bernadette Fahey’s recent wedding. Engagement rumors swirled in June 2023 when Madeline flaunted a ring on her left hand during a Japan trip, though it was later identified as a promise ring.

In August 2024, Madeline shared a rare tribute to Justin for his 52nd birthday, posting loved-up selfies to Instagram. One image showed her beaming on his lap as he gazed affectionately at her.
Justin’s Hospitality Empire
As CEO of Merivale, Justin oversees 80+ venues, including iconic Sydney spots like The Ivy and Establishment. He inherited the business after his father John Hemmes’ death in 2015, expanding it into a billion-dollar empire.

Family Ties
Madeline’s sister, model Simone Holtznagel, welcomed daughter Gia with ex Jono Castano in March 2024. Meanwhile, Justin continues balancing fatherhood with his high-profile career, often vacationing with Madeline and his daughters via seaplane.
The couple’s latest outing hints at their excitement for parenthood, blending luxury and simplicity as they prepare for their new chapter.
