    Emily Symons of Home And Away splits with father of their IVF baby


    LESS than a year after giving birth to her much-longed-for baby, Home and Away star Emily Symons has split from the father of her son.

    The much-loved actor, 46, and Nova Entertainment group programming director Paul Jackson separated several weeks ago, radio insiders have confirmed.

    The relationship breakdown comes after the couple went through repeated rounds of what Symons has described as “soul-destroying” IVF treatment to conceive her much-wanted son Henry, now 11 months old.

    The radio executive has moved out of the couple’s home they’d shared with their baby and his three children, Tommy, Georgia and Grace, from a previous relationship.

    Jackson and his three older children are now living in a new home — the separation from their young half-brother being felt acutely by Jackson’s three eldest children who have grown fond of Symons.

    Following the break-up, the actor, who has played ditzy Marilyn Chambers in the Seven Network soap on and off for 27 years, has been comforted by her family and the cast of the long-running soap, including close actor friends Georgie Parker and Lynne McGranger.

    Neither Symons nor Jackson, the UK radio executive credited with transforming the formerly underperforming radio stations Nova and Smooth into dominant FM forces, are commenting on the break-up.

    A representative for Jackson confirmed the split and said the couple were committed to co-parenting their young son.

    “They remain proud parents of Henry.”

    Jackson posted his first photograph of himself and Henry to social media on Friday.

    Twice-divorced Symons underwent at least four rounds of IVF during two separate previous relationships in the hopes of becoming a mother.

    The actor admitted last year she would have given up on IVF with Jackson had he not encouraged her to persevere.

    She has said she felt she had returned to work at Home and Away too soon when her baby was five months old.
