Home and Away: Ada Nicodemou shares intimate details about her relationship

Home and Away’s Ada Nicodemou shares intimate details about her relationship with boyfriend Adam Rigby

Ada Nicodemou has been playing Leah Patterson on Home and Away for 20 years. 

And while her character has certainly evolved a lot over the past two decades, Ada says she only started seeing a similar change in herself this year.

The 43-year-old actress told TV Week on Monday that she’d become more outspoken with age and due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

‘I’m not sure what it is, but there’s something about this year – and maybe my age – where my give-a-s**t radar has gone out the window,’ Ada told the publication.

‘We’ve all endured an awful year and I just thought to myself, “I’m just going to say what I want to say.” Let’s get back to basics and bring empathy and compassion back into our lives.’

Elsewhere in the interview, Ada praised her boyfriend-of-four years, businessman Adam Rigby, for being such a great stepfather to her eight-year-old son, Johnas.

‘For a man to come into my world and love a child as if he were his own – and love me like I’ve never been loved before – is incredibly special,’ said Ada.

It comes after Ada was spotted spending some quality time with her 50-year-old boyfriend on November 16.

‘Summer Sunday Sunday,’ Ada captioned a selfie she shared to Instagram, which showed her spotted basking in the sun with Adam.

The couple were seen lounging back on an outdoor sofa while sipping champagne and enjoying each other’s company.

Ada flaunted her youthful beauty by going makeup free and donning a small orange bikini top, which drew attention to her cleavage.
