Ada Nicodemou, a beloved fixture on Australian television best known for her long-standing role as Leah Patterson on Home & Away, is also a devoted mother and aunty.
The actress married Chrys Xipolitas in 2007, and the couple experienced the joy of parenthood with the birth of their son, Johnas, in August 2012.
Sadly, Ada and Chrys heartbreakingly lost their second child Harrison in 2014, after he was delivered stillborn – an experience that Ada has spoken candidly about in interviews.
“Life will never be the same again; there will obviously be a hole in your heart. We will always remember that child and what could have been,” Ada told Stellar Magazine in 2019.
As a result of the loss, Ada and Chrys ended up separating in 2015.
However, Ada has continued to thrive as a single mother to Johnas and frequently shares glimpses of her life with her son (as well as her nieces Sofia and Micaela) through social media.
Is Ada Nicodemou in a relationship?
Yes, Ada confirmed in July 2024 that she is dating her Home & Away co-star James Stewart.
“It’s only early days. It’s very recent and very unexpected. I’m super happy. It’s really lovely,” Ada said of the relationship to Stellar magazine.
