FACT CHECK: Rumors of Home and Away Star Emily Weir’s Real-Life Pregnancy are False

An article circulating online claiming that actress Emily Weir has announced a pregnancy is highly misleading, as reliable reports indicate the news is related to her character’s ongoing storyline, not the actress’s personal life.

Emily Weir plays the fan-favorite character Mackenzie “Mack” Booth on the Australian soap opera Home and Away.

The Confusion:

• Emily Weir’s character, Mackenzie Booth, has been involved in several prominent pregnancy and fertility storylines on the show. In 2021, her character suffered an ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage. More recently, Mack and her partner, Levi, have been struggling with infertility and exploring options like IVF, a storyline that Weir has spoken about publicly.

The Reality:

• There is no evidence from reputable news sources, social media, or official announcements that Emily Weir is pregnant in real life.

• Her recent interviews have focused on the emotional depth of her character’s on-screen struggles with miscarriage and infertility, a storyline she told reporters was important to portray accurately.

The circulating online report appears to misrepresent an emotional on-screen pregnancy or struggle with conception as a real-life announcement by the actress.
