Home and Away Star Jessica Redmayne’s Unexpected Personal Revelation

Australian actress Jessica Redmayne, best known for her role as Harper Matheson on the popular soap opera Home and Away, has reportedly shared a significant detail about her life that predates her time in Summer Bay: she had a child before joining the show.

While Redmayne’s character, Harper, has been involved in major storylines, including a controversial on-screen pregnancy and a subsequent life-threatening labor, the actress’s real-life revelation about motherhood has reportedly come as a surprise to many viewers.

Redmayne has appeared in Home and Away as social worker Harper Matheson since August 2023. Prior to this, she had roles in other Australian television shows such as 800 Words and Wentworth.

The actress has been open about her personal life, previously speaking out to clarify that her on-screen pregnancy was purely fictional, despite a storyline where her character becomes pregnant with Tane Parata’s child. She also serves as an ambassador for Dementia Australia after her mother’s passing.
