In the photo, posted jointly with friend and former Vogue Australia Editor-in-Chief, Kirstie Clements, George cradled her baby who was snug in a cream knitted blanket.
“@melissageorgeofficial From the maternity ward, straight into a Parisian heatwave (with a toddler…challenging),” Clements captioned the post.
“And now to an epic road trip through Provence and the Cǒte d’Azur, first stop @hotelcrillonlebrave #superwoman #motheroffoursons! #roadtrip #provence,” she finished.
The baby’s name has not been revealed nor has George revealed the identity of his dad, who is also believed to be the father of her third child Lyor Gatsby Gene George, whom she welcomed in 2024.
