Image Credit: Getty Images for The Surfer Who doesn’t remember the early to mid-2000s when Julian McMahon dominated television screens across the country for his roles as Cole Turner in Charmed, and Christian Troy in Nip/Tuck? The late Australian-American heartthrob was the son of former Prime Minister of Australia, Sir William McMahon, and he got his first big break on NBC soap opera Another World in 1993 when he was cast as Ian Rain. He then went on to play leading roles before he died on July 2, 2025, from a private battle with cancer. Julian is survived by his daughter, Madison Elizabeth.
Hollywood Life has rounded up everything we know about Julian’s daughter, Madison, below.
Who Is Madison Elizabeth McMahon? Madison Elizabeth McMahon was born on June 10, 2000. When her parents split up in the early 2000s, she reportedly lived with her late father, and they had a close bond through the end of his life.
Who Is Madison’s Mother? Madison’s mother is Brooke Burns, Julian’s second wife.

Julian was first married to Australian singer and actress Dannii Minogue, sister of pop sensation Kylie Minogue, after meeting on the set of soap opera Home & Away in 1991. They got hitched in 1994 but divorced 18 months later.
In 1999, the late FBI: Most Wanted star married Baywatch actress Brooke. The following year, the couple welcomed Madison, though they would end up splitting in 2001. Nevertheless, Julian would go on to find love again with wife and fellow Australian Kelly Paniagua, an actress and television personality, who he married in 2014. They stayed together before he died in 2025.
Where Is Madison Now? Madison seems to be living a low-key lifestyle away from the public eye. But her stepmom, Kelly, referenced Julian’s family in a public statement while announcing Julian’s untimely death in July 2025.
“With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer,” Kelly said in a statement, obtained by Deadline. “Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible. We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories.”
