Shock Baby News: Home and Away Actress Who Vanished to LA Becomes a Mum Again.
In a surprise twist that feels straight out of a Home and Away spoiler, a familiar face from Summer Bay has resurfaced with life-changing news from across the globe. Former Home and Away star Demi Harmon, who quietly stepped away from Australian screens years ago, has revealed she has welcomed her second child—this time far from the beaches of the Bay, in Los Angeles.
Demi, best known to fans as Sasha Bezmel from her 2011–2015 stint on the long-running soap, shared the joyful update with little fanfare but plenty of emotion. Now based in the US with her husband, Andrew Brooks, the actress announced the arrival of their baby daughter through a heartfelt social media post that instantly caught the attention of longtime viewers who had wondered what became of her after she disappeared from Australian television.

The announcement featured a tender black-and-white image of the newborn, Florence May Brooks, peacefully asleep and wrapped in a blanket. Wearing a delicate bonnet tied beneath her chin, the baby was pictured resting calmly, her soft features capturing hearts instantly. Demi revealed that Florence arrived earlier than expected, already making a bold entrance into the world. Weighing in at over nine pounds and measuring 21.5 inches long, the baby girl was described by her mum as sleepy, spirited, and absolutely perfect.
Fans and fellow celebrities quickly flooded the post with congratulations, celebrating the unexpected but joyful chapter in Demi’s life. For many Home and Away viewers, it felt like a rare update from a star who once dominated screens nightly before choosing a quieter path away from the spotlight.
The birth follows Demi’s pregnancy reveal earlier this year, when she casually shared the news in a candid mirror selfie. Dressed simply and makeup-free, she offered fans an honest glimpse into motherhood the second time around, later joking about the realities of early pregnancy. Demi openly admitted that her first trimester was far from glamorous, confessing she struggled with food aversions so intense she couldn’t even look at her kitchen.
Earlier this month, Demi and Andrew also delighted followers with a playful gender reveal that quickly went viral. Using a popular TikTok trend, Demi lip-synced before proudly showing off her bump and announcing she was expecting a daughter. The fun, light-hearted moment was met with praise, with many calling it one of the most memorable pregnancy announcements they’d seen.
Florence now joins the couple’s first child, Bo Thomas Brooks, whose arrival Demi had previously announced with her trademark humor. At the time, she shared another black-and-white newborn photo alongside a witty caption that instantly endeared her to fans once again, proving that while she may have left Summer Bay, her warmth and personality never faded.
Demi and Andrew married in early 2022, exchanging vows in an intimate ceremony in Palm Springs. Before settling into family life in LA, Demi rose to fame as a teenage star on Home and Away, earning award nominations and a devoted fan base. Her move overseas marked a fresh start after years in the public eye.
Now, with two children and a new life far from Summer Bay, Demi Harmon’s story has taken a heartfelt turn—one that proves some of the biggest plot twists happen long after the cameras stop rolling.
