Hospitality billionaire Justin Hemmes, 54, demonstrated his strength and devotion as he carried his partner Madeline Holtznagel and their one-year-old son, Jaeger, ashore following a seaplane journey to their waterfront home in Sydney's Vaucluse. The event, which took place on Monday, offered a rare glimpse into the private family life of the prominent Australian figure.
Hemmes, who celebrated his 54th birthday the previous Thursday, waded through shallow waters carrying young Jaeger in one arm while Holtznagel, 29, held onto his back. Holtznagel, a model, appeared in high spirits, laughing as she clung to her partner. She was noted for her effortlessly chic appearance, wearing a relaxed yet stylish ensemble that highlighted her physique. Her long blonde hair was pulled back, and oversized sunglasses shielded her eyes.
The family was accompanied on the outing by model Montana Cox and her boyfriend. Later, Hemmes was pictured holding his son on the beach with Holtznagel looking on, suggesting a relaxed family day.
Hemmes and Holtznagel, who have been together since 2019, generally maintain a low profile regarding their family life, occasionally attending select public events. Holtznagel announced the arrival of their son, Jaeger Justin Hemmes, on Instagram in June 2025, sharing a series of photographs.
In a previous interview with Stellar magazine, Holtznagel expressed her excitement about starting a new journey with Hemmes, noting that she had always felt she would have a boy. She mentioned that having a son would be a new experience, as Hemmes already has two daughters. Holtznagel had opted to keep her pregnancy private, choosing not to share details online until she reached a stage where she felt comfortable sharing photos.
Holtznegal is the sister of model Simone Holtznagel, who welcomed her own daughter in March 2024.
