'Happy sixth birthday my beautiful boy': Home and Away's Emily Symons shared a sweet tribute to her son Henry's birthday

'A lockdown birthday that was made so special by his school teachers, little friends, Mums sending videos, FaceTime chats with cousins and beautiful family and even happy birthday sung to him by Aunty Lally and family from the front garden!'

'So much love and kindness. Thanks to everyone who reached out today, it made me forget I have nine weeks regrowth,' she said.

Emily's co-stars also wished her son a happy birthday in the comments section.

She wrote: 'A lockdown birthday that was made so special by his school teachers, little friends, Mums sending videos, FaceTime chats with cousins and beautiful family and even happy birthday sung to him by Aunty Lally and family from the front garden!'

'Oh Henry, happy happy 6th birthday darling. I know you would have had a brilliant day with your beautiful Mum and Lauren. Lots of love Hen,' Georgie Parker wrote.

Emily shares Henry with her ex-partner Paul Jackson, who she split from in 2016.

The couple had struggled to conceive a child using IVF, a process Emily later described as 'soul destroying' in an interview with New Idea.

But they persevered and welcomed Henry in 2015, only to split the following year.

Paul's representative confirmed the break-up at the time, stating: 'They remain proud parents of Henry.'

Emily is best known for playing longtime Summer Bay resident Marilyn Chambers on Home and Away.
