Rachel Griffith’s Secret Birth
Actress Rachel Griffiths gave birth to her third child under a false name after the paparazzi hijacked her last delivery.
Griffiths checked into the hospital in June using the name Rebecca Hamilton. She and her husband Andrew Taylor welcomed daughter Clementine Grace. Griffiths was still haunted by a run in with the press when she gave birth to Clementine’s big sister Adelaide four years ago – and adopted stealth tactics to avoid their prying lenses this time around.
She says, “When I gave birth to Adelaide, all these paparazzi descended and I was in my dressing gown. It was traumatising. I didn’t want to leave home for a month. No woman should be subjected to that. “This time I checked in under a different name, to try and avoid that.”
She adds, “This time I thought I would be in and out, but things were a bit more complicated and I just want to thank everyone at Cedars for saving my baby’s life. You only hear about the bad things, but everyday all across this country doctors and nurses are working so hard for us.”
