After a stressful end to 2020, Jodi Gordon is finally smiling again.
The actress, whose boyfriend Sebastian Blackler was recently slapped with an AVO following an incident at her home, looked anything but downcast as she played with her daughter, Aleeia, six, at her local park in Sydney on Sunday.
The former Neighbours star, 35, beamed with joy as she pranced around and played games with her little girl.

The sighting comes after Jodi was reportedly left shocked by news her boyfriend Sebastian was facing court after being handed an AVO by police.

According to Woman’s Day, the news surprised those close to Jodi as she had been ‘head over heels’ and ‘beaming with joy’ over her new relationship just days before the incident.
On the day of the incident, police were called to Jodi’s house in Double Bay shortly after midnight after reports of a disturbance.
‘Around 12.30am on Friday, November 27, 2020, officers were called to a unit at Wiston Gardens at Double Bay,’ a NSW Police spokesman said.

‘Following inquiries, officers from Eastern Suburbs suspended the investigation at the request of the victim. No further action is expected at this time.’
Police subsequently took out an interim AVO to prevent Sebastian, 30, from assaulting, threatening, stalking, harassing or intimidating Jodi.
Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting Sebastian is alleged to have done any of those things, and police have laid no charges against him.
