Home and Away actress Ada Nicodemou on privacy, fame and her new romance

·

Ada Nicodemou, a beloved star of Channel 7 show Home and Away, has opened up about her private life and her new relationship with co-star James Stewart.

Nicodemou, who became a household name with her role in the 1994 series Heartbreak High, has been a central figure on Home and Away for 24 years. Despite her fame, Nicodemou prefers to keep a low profile, finding solace in relative anonymity during her European holidays.

Nicodemou recalled in an interview with The Advertiser, her early days of fame without social media scrutiny, allowing her to grow without constant public attention.

“I never worried about my body. I never worried about the pimples on my face. I just concentrated on acting, and trying to get better at it,” she explained.

Her son, Johnas, also remains shielded from her on-screen persona.

Her relationship with James Stewart, a fellow Home and Away star, recently came to light following her split with businessman Adam Rigby.

“Jimmy and I are together, yes. It’s only early days. It’s very recent and very unexpected. I’m super happy. It’s really lovely,” she said.

Nicodemou has no plans to leave Home and Away but is keen to explore new ventures, particularly those connected to her Mediterranean heritage. She is also about to release a sequel to her junior fiction novel Mia Megastar, which serves as a guide for young aspiring actors.

Nicodemou’s journey reflects a balance of fame, privacy, and a commitment to her craft and family. Her story continues to inspire many, both on and off the screen.
