Only seeing her children once a fortnight, Madeleine co-parents the brood while they live with Shannon, 49, at his Byron Bay mansion following their 'toxic' split. Their eldest child is daughter Phoenix, 19, who the former couple welcomed in December 2005 just months after they started dating.

Madeleine and Shannon were in a serious relationship for 13 years following the birth of Phoenix, going on to welcome five more children, with one coming every two years. The parents keep their children off their social media accounts as much as possible, but Shannon uploaded an image of Phoenix on her 18th birthday in 2023.

'All she wanted was a beer at the Eltham pub. Best pub in the Byron area!' he added. Madeleine and Shannon's only son, Hendrix, 16, was born in April 2008. The soap star has rarely been seen with her son, but Shannon shared a video to Instagram of him and Hendrix attending a Travis Scott concert in October.
