Is Madeleine West still dating Maximo Bottaro? Actress is no longer following his business page as she announces pregnancy
Madeleine West has sparked rumors she has split from boyfriend Maximo Bottaro after announcing she is pregnant with her seventh child.
The 45-year-old actress from The Neighbors appears to have unfollowed Maximo’s business page, ReForest Now, on Instagram.
The infamously 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 spotted kissing and cuddling on the beach in 2020.
At the time, Madeleine and Maximo were seen passionately kissing and cuddling in the shallow waters of a secluded beach.
Two years later, the mother-of-six and her boyfriend were spotted on the beach at Byron Bay again.

Maximo has been an environmental activist for twenty years and previously worked for Greenpeace, one of the largest environmental organizations in the world.
He co-founded his own environmental protection organization, ReForest Now, in 2018.
Madeleine has been working with ReForest Now on various projects since January 2020.
In March 2020, ReForest Now shared a photo on Instagram of Madeleine helping plant trees, thanking her for her continued support.
“Madeline supports ReForest Now by promoting our work and inviting the community to our plantings and contributing to the financing of reforestation,” the message said.
Since then, the actress has spoken out about her love for Maximo a handful of times.
‘The way he carried himself was so attractive. It went beyond notions of fame, fortune or notoriety,” Madeleine said on the No Filter podcast.
“Seeing how much he cared about his business and his passion, his self-confidence … was maybe the most attractive thing I’ve ever seen.”

In 2023, Madeleine said that Maximo had been her biggest support when it came to her mental health issues.
“I’m fortunate to have someone who is evolved and compassionate enough to take this journey with me without sugar-coating or trying to avoid the hard moments,” she told Stellar magazine.

In the photo, the brunette showed off her growing baby bump in a form-fitting gray tank top that was lifted up to reveal her bare bump.
‘HOOPS!’ she captioned her post. ‘I thought it was #perimenopause. I thought WRONG!’
‘It’s not too much Christmas pudding either. And I couldn’t be happier.
“I’m not so sure about the title ‘Geriatric Mom,’ but here we are, and I’m going to backtrack a little to grow this little surprise package that I mentioned. (Baby number 7, couldn’t help it).
‘I don’t have much to say anymore, but I notice that I don’t hear much about older parents. I know you have to be there. It seems we are invisible.’

The actress sought advice from her followers as she prepared for her seventh journey into motherhood.
“So if you’re expecting later than expected and are in your early 40s or 50s, I’d love to hear your stories,” she added.
‘I would like to share all the tips. How on earth do you get all the #baby essentials back together after giving it all away????
‘There’s a terrifying new world of contraptions out there and I don’t know where to start!! STAFF!!!’
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 in 2018 after 13 years together, with Madeleine later stating that the divorce process “became love toxic.”
Two years after their breakup, she left Melbourne and moved to the Byron Bay area to be near their six children, where she bought her own $4.6 million estate overlooking Tallow Beach.
