Home and Away actress Ada Nicodemou has experienced one of the worst things a person can go through. In a statement today she revealed that her son Harrison has been delivered stillborn.
Ada was in the later stages of pregnancy, around seven months, and had taken maternity leave from the show.
This was the second child for Ada and her husband Chris Xipolitas. Their son Johnas was born in 2012 after a long struggle to conceive. Ada has spoken publically of her experience with IVF treatments, and her surprise and delight at becoming pregnant again.
The family released a statement on the Home and Away Facebook page about their tragic news.
“It is with great sadness that we need to share some news with you. Our baby boy Harrison was delivered stillborn on Thursday 7 August 2014.”
“We appreciate your love and support as we mourn the loss of our precious son.
We understand we have lived some of our lives in the public eye. But we respectfully ask for privacy at this difficult and extremely painful time so we can grieve and heal.”
