JODI GORDON - ‘I HAD TO CHANGE FOR MY DAUGHTER’

After the toughest year of her life, the actress is focusing on her health and her little girl

- 

Jodi Gordon is the first to admit the last few months have been a rollercoaster ride by anyone’s standards, as she bravely opens up about her headline-grabbing year.

Just days before checking herself into a Sydney rehab facility to treat alcoholism and depression, the Australian actress caused a media frenzy when she was handed a joint apprehended violence order with ex-boyfriend Sebastian Blackler, following a “physical altercation” in April.

“It’s been quite the year,” the 37-year-old admits to Woman’s Day. But since calling time on that chapter, Jodi says her priorities have changed, and she is shifting her focus towards her health and being a mother to her adorable eight-year-old daughter Aleeia.

“[Dating’s] just not on the cards at the moment,” says Jodi. “My life is very much centred around my daughter and my family and more importantly, my health, my wellbeing and my career – that’s the focus.”
