Is Madeleine West still dating Maximo Bottaro? Actress is no longer following his business page as she announces pregnancy

Madeleine West has sparked rumours she's split from her boyfriend Maximo Bottaro after announcing she is pregnant with her seventh child.

The Neighbours star, 45, appears to have unfollowed Maximo's business page, ReForest Now, on Instagram.

The notoriously private couple were last pictured together in December 2023 during a romantic beach day in Byron Bay.

Madeleine and Maximo have been dating for more than three years after they were first seen kissing and cuddling at the beach in 2020.

At the time, the actress and the environmentalist were seen passionately kissing and cuddling in the shallows of a secluded beach.

Two years later, the mother-of-six and her boyfriend were seen hitting the Byron Bay beach again.

Maximo has been an environmental activist for two decades, having previously worked for Greenpeace, one of the largest environmental organisations in the world.

He co-founded his own environmental conservation organisation, ReForest Now, in 2018.

Madeleine has worked with ReForest Now on various projects since January, 2020.

In March, 2020, ReForest Now shared a photo to Instagram of Madeleine helping to plant trees, and thanked her for her continued support.

'Madeline has been supporting ReForest Now through promoting our work and inviting community to our plantings and to contribute to the funding of reforestation,' the post read.

Since then, the actress has spoken out a handful of times about her love for Maximo.

'The way he carried himself was so attractive. It went beyond notions of fame or wealth or notoriety,' Madeleine said on the No Filter podcast.

'Seeing how much he cared about his cause and his passion, his self belief... was possibly the most attractive thing I've ever seen.'

In 2023, Madeleine said Maximo had been her biggest support when it comes to her mental health woes.

'I'm lucky to have someone who is evolved and compassionate enough to go on this journey with me without sugar-coating or trying to avoid the tough moments,' she told Stellar magazine.

Madeleine announced she's pregnant with her seventh child in a heartfelt Instagram post on Tuesday morning.

In the photo, the brunette displayed her growing baby bump in a tight-fitting grey tank top that was lifted to reveal her bare tummy.

'WHOOPS!' she captioned her post. 'Thought it was #perimenopause. I thought WRONG!'

'It's not too much Christmas pudding either. And I couldn't be happier.

'Not too sure about the title "Geriatric mum" but here we are, and I'm winding back a little to grow this little surprise package I've dubbed. (Baby number 7, couldn't help myself).

'I don't have much more to say right now, but I've noticed I don't hear much about older parents. l know you must be out there. Just seems we are invisible.'

The actress sought advice from her followers as she prepares for her seventh journey into motherhood.

'So if you're expecting later than expected, and tackling early in your 40s or 50s, I'd LOVE hear your stories,' she added.

'I'd love any tips you care to share. Like how the heck do you get all the #baby paraphernalia together again after you've given it all away????

'There's a terrifying new world of contraptions out there and I don't know where to start!! HELP!!!'

Madeleine already shares six children - Phoenix, 19, Hendrix, 16, Xascha, 14, Xanthe, 12, and twins Xalia and Margaux, 10 - with her ex-partner, celebrity chef Shannon Bennett, 49.

The actress and her ex Shannon split after 13 years together in 2018, with Madeleine later stating the separation process 'turned love toxic'.

Two years after their breakup, she left Melbourne and moved to the Byron Bay area to be near their six children, buying her own $4.6million property overlooking Tallow Beach.
