His character is currently struggling after learning of his uncle Ari’s death, and the actor has many parallels with his character, particularly his pride in his Maori heritage.
In-Home and Away, Kawakawa Fox-character Reo deals with the loss of his uncle Ari.
While living in Summer Bay, the character has faced numerous challenges and coped with his fair share of broken loves.
Away from the serial, though, the actor has fared better in love than his fictional counterpart, keeping a low profile with his Kiwi partner.
How old is Kawakawa and where is he from?
Kawakawa, like his character, is in his early twenties and is from New Zealand.
He was born in Wellington but was raised in Hawke’s Bay alongside his younger sister, Peti.
He is a member of the Ngati Kahungunu tribe, which is based in the town of Pakipaki and has frequently displayed his Maoiri culture on Home and Away.
When did Kawakawa start acting?
Kawakawa is best recognized for his role in Home and Away, but he has been acting since he was a child.
In 2018, he earned a Bachelor of Performing Arts from Toi Whakaari, a drama school in Wellington (Acting).
Since then, he has been in two short films: The Super Galactic Space Cadets in 2017 and Krystal in 2019, in which he played Storm.
He played Trent in the 2019 TV series Wellington Paranormal, and he played Uri in the 2020 film The Dead Lands.
Who does he play in Home and Away?
In 2020, he made his first appearance on the soap as Nikau Parata, with his uncles Ari and Tane.
His father Mikaere was shot and killed by police during a botched heist before he arrived in the Bay.
He was previously linked to Jade Lennox on the show but is now dating Bella Nixon.
Who is Kawakawa dating?
Kawakawa isn’t known for divulging too much information about his personal life, but he has shared photos with his girlfriend Chantal Millar.
Despite little known about the relationship, they began writing about each other in September 2020.
Chantal, who is also from New Zealand and presently resides in Australia, frequently shared photos of them having fun at the beach and with friends.
The couple hasn’t shared any recent photos together, so it’s unclear if they’re still together.
