Melissa is a notoriously private person and has not yet shared details of her current partner or relationship, if she is in one.
Whilst she was born and raised in Australia and later moved to America to further her acting career, Melissa currently lives in France due to a custody agreement with her ex.
“I’m really proud of my Australian roots and I will continue to come home often to see my family and to work here,” Melissa said of her home country.
Melissa was born in Perth in 1976.
