He was married to Baywatch star Brooke from 1999 until 2001 and welcomed daughter Madison McMahon in 2000. His first marriage was to singer and actress Dannii Minogue, sister of Kylie Minogue, whom he wed in 1994 after meeting on the set of their film, Home and Away, in 1991. Their marriage lasted just a year and a half as he resided in LA to pursue his acting career while she was living in England for music. HIS FINAL POST Julian's last social media post celebrated what would end up being his final film.
