She’s famous in New York, but Staci – love child of the PM’s partner – is keeping a low-profile back home until after the election.
With her punk-rock shaved hair and tattoos, Staci Child, the previously estranged daughter of the Prime Minister’s partner Tim Mathieson, will certainly make an interesting addition to the Lodge should Julia Gillard win this week’s Federal election.
While she has kept a low profile on her native shores, Woman’s Day can reveal Staci, one of the most talked about and sought after stylists in New York, is the secret love child Tim fathered in his teens.
Tim has openly acknowledged becoming a father prior to his first marriage and has said “it’s nothing to be ashamed of”, while friends add that he is immensely proud of everything his daughter has achieved.
But the normally outspoken hair and make-up artist has been shielded from the media in the lead-up to the Federal election.
