Meet Mark Adderley and Justin Mildwater
Justin Mildwater, the first husband of TV host and actress Nadia Sawalha, committed suicide on December 25, 1997. Justin was unable to manage the breakdown of his five-year marriage because it occurred just months earlier.
Nadia struggled to cope with her loss after his passing in 1997 and subsequently acknowledged: “There was a lot of drink and a lot of late nights.”
Justin Mildwater produced music. In 1997, on Christmas Day, at the age of just 31, he committed suicide.
Mark Adderley, a television producer, has been Nadia Sawalha’s husband for 19 years. The couple wed in June 2002, and since then, Maddy, now 18 years old, and Kiki, now 14 years old, have been born.
Although Nadia and Mark have been wed for almost 20 years, their union hasn’t always been easygoing because of Mark’s alcoholism. The Sawalha-Adderleys talk about it in great detail on their YouTube channel.
