Home and Away star Ada Nicodemou splits from her partner of eight years
The couple have reportedly decided to ‘go their separate ways’.
Home and Away star Ada Nicodemou has quietly split from her long-time partner, businessman Adam Rigby.
The pair reportedly broke up at the end of 2023 after eight years together.
“Everything is amicable. They remain friends but decided to go their separate ways,” a source close to Nicodemou told The Daily Telegraph.
Nicodemou has yet to address the report.
It comes after the couple went away to Europe in 2023 with Nicodemou’s son Johnas, 11, whom she shares with ex-husband Chrys Xipolitas.
Nicodemou previously revealed Rigby was not familiar with her and her role in Home and Away when they met.
“We met at a work function and he had no idea who I was,” she told TV Week.
“It’s kind of cool though, right? I like that he had no idea about the show.”
Nicodemou rose to fame in the mid-1990s in popular TV shows including Heartbreak High and Police Rescue.
She has played Leah Patterson-Baker on Home and Away since March 2000.
Her character recently wed Justin Morgan, played by James Stewart.
“It’s a beautiful, normal wedding which we really wanted,” Nicodemou told 7NEWS.com.au in April of the wedding.
“I just wanted it to be like a nice wedding with nothing bad happening, and that’s what happened.”
Looking back on the four-year relationship between Leah and Justin, the actors said they loved how their characters “laugh a lot and are a really good team”.
“It’s a really nice adult relationship, there’s not a lot of angst,” Nicodemou said.
“They’ve been through way too much together and I think they really support each other.
“And he sings to her! She cooks, he sings — it’s perfect!”
Meanwhile, Stewart recently split from his partner and former co-star Sarah Roberts.
Roberts confirmed to Stellar that their divorce was settled in March, with the couple parting ways just four-and-a-half years after their July 2019 wedding.
