Home and Away star Ada Nicodemou has posted a flashback tribute for her son Johnas Xipolitas in an Instagram post to celebrate his birthday.

While Johnas is three years old in the collection of adorable photos, he has turned 10 years old this week.

“How fast they grow! Johnas turned 10 this week and I’m still struggling to understand how it went so fast! He’s a little man now, just getting so big.

“Here’s one of my favourite shoots of all time, he’s three in these photos. How cute are the curls.”

In November 2021, fans received another glimpse into the deep connection between the adorable mother and son duo after Johnas wrote an ‘amazing award’ certificate dedicated to his mother’s hard work homeschooling him during lockdown.

“Dear mum. Thanks for helping me through a tough time (homeschooling). I couldn’t do home learning without your help. Johnas.”

Ada shared the award to Instagram, she wrote, “I received an award today for homeschooling, thanks, my beautiful boy. Love u so much and enjoyed every part of it.”

Another important person that often features on Ada’s Instagram is partner Adam Rigby. The pair debuted their relationship in 2018 at the TV WEEK Logie Awards.

“It’s such a great night, And it’s always lovely to be able to share it with a partner. I love the Logies – it’s really special,” she said to TV WEEK.

Ada and Johnas’ father Chrys Xipolitas split in 2016, but the 45 year old has previously affirmed Adam has been an amazing step-dad and partner.

“Adam and Johnas adore each other; he’s such a great stepdad and has really stepped up,” she explained. “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.

“I rely on him a lot, which is a real first for me. I’ve never been able to do that before; I’ve always held the reins. So it’s nice to know he has our back – he’s a great man.”
