“In the signs and synchronicities, intuituve [sic] whispers, in the circles of support, in the water and nature’s intelligence.
“Through all the beauty and the pain, softening fear into love. Opening up new fields of possibilities, bridges of light.
“Thank you to all the angels… seen and unseen, known and unknown. Thank you to our bright little son, we love you all ways.”

Isabel revealed she was expecting her first child in October and said “sometimes the mystery is too vast and all that remains, is to feel”.
The announcement saw a flood of people congratulating the actor, with some also praising that she chose to have a baby at her age.
Lucas describes ‘complicated’ act of bringing a child into the world
In an interview with Stellar, the Home and Away star said her pregnancy journey had been a “real grace”, and she felt “very lucky” that hers hadn’t been tinged with any issues.
The 40-year-old called pregnancy and birth “the greatest acts of surrender” and that “listening to yourself, your body, and your heart” were very important to her.
She added that welcoming a child into this world was nothing short of a “miracle” and acknowledged that it’s a hectic time at the moment.
“Becoming a parent and raising a child at this time is our way of throwing a hat over the fence, metaphorically,” she said.
“I didn’t know that I wanted children until I met Cyrus. Being a parent in 2025 can be really tender, complicated and unnerving; the stakes have never felt higher.
“Raising grounded, emotionally intelligent kids, even when the world feels shaky, is a big mission. But I think it’s a really beautiful service, a most worthy one.”
What has Isabel Lucas done since Home and Away?
In addition to playing Tasha Andrews for four years on Home and Away, which saw her win a Logie Award in 2004, she also starred in Hollywood blockbusters like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Red Dawn.
She courted controversy in 2020 for the film Bosch & Rockit after opting out of mandatory COVID-19 testing.

That same year, she lost her charity ambassador role with Plan International Australia because she said she did not “trust the path” of vaccination.
Isabel also was a guest speaker at an anti-5G rally in Byron Bay in 2020 and was worried the technology was going to “potentially ushering a regime of total surveillance”.
While her last acting credit was in 2024’s Lunacy, she said she has been busy setting up a retreat centre with Cyrus by the Columbia River in Washington state.
Her family now split their time between Byron Bay, the US, and Switzerland.
