Ada Nicodemou: "I've been through awful times"

Ada Nicodemou is no stranger to personal heartache. In 2014, the Home and Away star lost her second son Harrison when he was delivered stillborn. Then, just 18 months later, she separated from her husband of nine years Chrys Xipolitas.

But if there’s one thing the 40-year-old television personality is known for, it’s her ability to smile when times are tough and ultimately look on the bright side of life.

“I’ve been through awful times,” Ada reveals. “But my perspective on life has changed and I don’t take a moment for granted. I don’t sweat the small stuff.”

Nicodemou credits her friend and Home and Away co-star Lynne McGranger (who plays Irene) as someone who has helped her deal with the tumultuous periods.

“We can have a laugh. She’s a beautiful friend and person. She’s been through the awful times with me and she’s supported me through that. We’re both very loyal to each other.”

Nowadays Nicodemou loves spending time with her five-year-old, Johnas.

“I feel so blessed to have such a healthy child, and such a beautiful, happy, warm and funny child,” she smiles.
