Justin Hemmes is set to become a father again as he is expecting a child with his girlfriend Madeline Holtznagel, it has been revealed.
The Merivale billionaire, 52, and his girlfriend, 27, are in the early stages of the pregnancy and have already told their family and friends of their jovial baby news.
Justin already shares two daughters Alexa, six, and Saachi, five, with his model ex Kate Fowler – the sister of Georgia Fowler – while it will be Madeline’s first child.
Sources close to the couple confirmed the exciting news with Daily Mail Australia, and they are said to be ‘over the moon’ about their growing family.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Justin and Madeline’s representatives for comment.
Madeline is the younger sister of Aussie model Simone Holtznagel, who welcomed her first child, a daughter called Gia, in March with her now-ex-boyfriend Jono Castano.

Madeline was last spotted in public on November 10 as she strolled through Sydney Airport with Justin, just 12 days before their jovial baby news was made public
The couple were most recently seen together earlier this month, when they arrived back in Sydney after enjoying a weekend away together with Justin’s two daughters.
Madeline wore an oversized T-shirt as she strolled through Sydney Airport’s private jet terminal with a huge smile on her face, just 12 days before their baby news was made public.
In his first sighting since their baby news emerged, hotelier Justin appeared to be in good spirits as he was spotted out on a bike ride in Sydney on Friday morning.
The businessman flashed a smile as he rode his bike through the suburbs, cutting a smart figure in a white shirt and cream linen trousers.
He kept comfortable in a pair of grey sneakers and put safety first as he sported a black helmet during his relaxing bike ride in the sunshine.
Justin and Madeline quietly began seeing each other in 2019, a year after his debut on the Financial Review Rich List with an estimated net worth of $951million – which has since risen to $1.39billion.
Justin is considered Australia’s hospitality king with more than 80 venues and billions in assets with names like the Ivy, Queen Chow, hemmesphere and Establishment under his purview as CEO of Merivale.
Though they generally keep their romance under wraps, the couple are often seen disembarking from his sea plane after their luxurious family holidays with his two daughters.

In August, Madeline also made a rare public post about Justin as she took to Instagram to share a post celebrating his 52nd birthday.
She shared a series of romantic snaps of the pair of them to her Instagram page and gushed over her partner in a sweet caption.
In one adorable picture, Madeline flashed a huge smile as she sat on Justin’s lap while he lovingly gazed at her.
Another romantic image showed the pair cuddling up to one another as they relaxed on a yacht.
Madeline was not afraid to show the couple’s playful side sharing a third photo that showed the pair hamming it up for the camera in tennis attire.
‘Happy birthday my love,’ she wrote in a caption along with rose emoji.
Earlier this year, Madeleine celebrated her 27th birthday party with a lavish bash at Justin’s sprawling Vaucluse estate.
Following the festivities, Madeline revealed on Instagram that her doting partner had also bought her two llamas as a sign of his love.
Justin and Madeline quietly began seeing each other in 2019, a year after his debut on the Financial Review Rich List and have been going from strength-to-strength ever since
The couple sparked engagement rumours last June when eagle-eyed fans noticed Madeline was wearing a ring on her wedding finger during a trip to Japan (pictured)
The couple have gone from strength-to-strength since going public in 2019 and even sparked engagement rumours last June.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed Madeline was wearing a ring on her wedding finger as they questioned whether Justin had popped the question.
A picture showed her sporting the jewellery as she cuddled up to Justin as they enjoyed a bowl of Udon noodles together at a restaurant in Japan.
But the bling appeared to be a turquoise dress ring, and another photograph showed her wearing a different ring on the same finger as she posed for a selfie.
