Jessica Marais is now said to be living a quiet life in Perth.
The Packed To The Rafters star, 38, is allegedly back home with her family after she spent four years taking care of her mental health and the actress is taking things easy, reports Woman’s Day.
The publication alleges the Logie Award-winner moved back to Perth in 2022 to live in the Mosman Park home of her late mother Karen Marais.
She’s reportedly spending quality time with her doctor sister Clara, her brother-in-law and their two children while Clara renovates her home.
As for Jessica’s daughter Scout, who she co-parents with ex partner James Stewart, the 11-year-old allegedly still lives in Sydney with her father.
Despite being apart, James, 48, allegedly frequently flies Scout out to Perth to visit her mother and reportedly has a very amicable relationship with Jessica.
Early last year, the trio could be seen in a group photo James shared to Instagram which showed them posing with Jessica’s family and James’ wife Sarah Roberts.
Proving that all is well between the blended family, Jessica beamed as she wrapped her arms wrapped around Scout and her ex-partner’s new flame 39-year-old Sarah.
Also spotted in the crowd was Jessica’s sister Clara, as well as Clara’s partner and young children.
‘Family,’ James simply captioned the sweet image.
The heartwarming photo marked the first time Jessica had been pictured in public with Scout in almost three years.
Mother and daughter were last photographed together in May 2020 during an emotional reunion that took place a week after the troubled actress was hospitalised following a welfare check by emergency services.
Photos showed the Wrong Girl star wrapping her arms around Scout, who had brought her a colourful handmade card as a Mother’s Day gift.
The emotional moment took place outside Jessica’s home at the time in Coogee, Sydney, while James, who dated Jessica from 2010 to 2015, watched on from afar.
She smiled while looking at the card, which featured the message ‘I [heart] you’ with ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ inside the heart.
Just one week earlier, emergency crews had been called to Jessica’s eastern suburbs home on a welfare check.
Three officers were seen ringing Jessica’s doorbell at about midday, before two male paramedics entered the building.
Minutes later, Jessica emerged wearing black leggings and a grey cardigan as she slowly stepped down the stairs with the assistance of the paramedics.
Jessica and James, who met on the set of Packed to the Rafters in 2007, have been co-parenting Scout since their split in 2015.
James went on to marry fellow Home And Away star Sarah in 2019.
Jessica has had a difficult few years.
The mother of one, who suffers from bipolar disorder, was unable to attend the Logie Awards in July 2018 because she was receiving treatment for ‘urgent’ issues at The Health Clinic, a mental health facility in Bronte.
While in treatment, she attended daily counselling sessions and had access to nurses, psychiatrists and psychologists.
