Apt to their parenting title, Stage Parents Sarah and Shane’s youngest child, River (8), is somewhat of a child star.
Recently wrapping a stint in Home & Away, fans of the show pin-pointed the young actor immediately.
Alongside acting credits in Netflix original Sweet Tooth, the youngster played Dean’s son Jai Simmons for two years on the beloved Aussie soap.
Boasting 18 thousand followers on Instagram it’s no wonder the Parental Guidance audience were able to recognise him so quickly. And, now, he can add ‘reality star’ to his already-impressive resume!
