There’s no denying the fact that Home And Away star, Ada Nicodemou, is one of Australia’s most loved actresses.
The country first fell in love with the 43-year-old when she was just 17, playing Katerina Loannou in hit teen drama, Heartbreak High.
Ada then went on to appear in Police Rescue and Breakers before she landed the role of Leah Patterson in Summer Bay.
While fans have loved watching the actress onscreen, they’ve enjoyed seeing her and her family grow over the years just as much.
Ada welcomed her first son Johnas in 2012, with her husband at the time, Chrys Xipolitas.
While she does an amazing job juggling motherhood and work, Ada recently opened up to Good Health about the need to shatter this “having it all” fantasy.
Ada has made an effort to keep her Instagram as real and unfiltered as possible.
“I’ve always got about 10 balls in the air,” she said.
“But now I’m learning to let go. Instead of making five appointments in the day, I’ll just make one. Or rather than having a picture-perfect showroom home, I’ll let the house be messy so I can play with my son.”
It’s a breath of fresh air, for both her fans and other mums.
We’ve rounded up Ada’s cutest, and most authentic, moments with her son Johnas below.
A little rainy afternoon fun for these two!
The duo have been learning at home amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Ada even had Johnas put his uniform on, to try and keep his focus.
