The ex-husband of former Miss Universe Australia, Olivia Rogers, Justin McKeone has revealed he and his new partner, reality star Tahnee Leeson, are expecting their first child.
McKeone, who has been accused in court documents of misappropriating almost $500,000 while working as a financial manager at a Cremorne business in 2024, and Leeson made their announcement in a joint post on Instagram on Wednesday night.
Leeson was a contestant on the 2021 season of The Bachelor where she vied for the heart of lonely pilot Jimmy Nicholson.
She was eliminated from the dating show in episode 11 of the season.
The couple shared their family news with a series of loving photos of them together on a beach.
“Starting the new year with the most exciting news to date,” Leeson wrote on the post.
“Cannot believe how much we love you already.
“So grateful you chose us.”
McKeone commented under the images: “You’re going to be an amazing mum! I cannot wait.”
A former regular on the ‘young Melbourne’ social scene when briefly married to Rogers, a beauty queen turned power influencer, McKeone found himself back in the headlines in late 2024 when it was revealed his former employer Rocket Brands (Cozmic Sales Pty Ltd) had launched legal action against him in the Victorian Supreme Court alleging he had misappropriated $481,490.33 from the business during his five-month tenure as Head of Finance.
The company applied for a freezing order on McKeone’s assets which was granted in October and was extended to April 2025 by Justice Peter Gray at a directions hearing in early December.
McKeone did not attend the directions hearing.
In the civil law case, Rocket Brands is seeking full restitution and has accused McKeone of breaching his duties as a senior manager.
McKeone has yet to comment on the allegations.
McKeone married Rogers in a high profile wedding in February 2022, but the couple split just eight months later in October 2022.
