Home and Away star Ada Nicodemou has quietly parted ways with her partner of eight years.

The much loved soap star is understood to have split from Sydney businessman Adam Rigby at the end of last year.

“Everything is amicable,” a source close to the couple said. “They remain friends but decided to go their separate ways.”

Rigby’s social media still features images of himself with Nicodemou’s son, Johnas, from her previous marriage.

Nicodemou, 46, is one of the most recognisable faces on Australian television.

She has played Leah on Home and Away for more than 20 years and before that was known for her work as Katerina on the original Heartbreak High.

Nicodemou and Rigby went public with their relationship after meeting at a work function in 2016.

The actor however has always been extremely protective and private about her personal life. She did not comment when contacted by Confidential.

It comes meanwhile after it was confirmed Nicodemou’s on-screen love interest James Stewart recently split from his wife, former Home and Away star Sarah Roberts.

Sources say Nicodemou and Stewart are friends and have been a strong support for each other over their mutual breakup.

On air, the couple’s relationship has gone to the next level with recent episodes featuring Leah and Justin (Stewart) getting married.
