Actress Jodi Gordon has been pictured for the first time since completing a 30-day recovery program at an exclusive clinic in Sydney.
The former soap star, 37, reunited with her eight-year-old daughter, Aleeia, after leaving the treatment centre on Wednesday.
Her first stop after checking out of the facility was a nearby McDonald’s, where she had lunch with Aleeia and her mother, Bronwyn.
Back on track: Jodi Gordon has been pictured for the first time since completing a 30-day recovery program at an exclusive clinic in Sydney. The former soap star, 37, stopped by McDonald’s for lunch with her eight-year-old daughter, Aleeia, and her mother, Bronwyn

Gordon, known for her roles in Neighbours and Home and Away, dressed casually in black pants, a white T-shirt and beige blazer as she dined outside with her family.
She had just completed an ‘immersion therapy’ program in the wake of her bitter break-up with prominent investment banker Sebastian Blackler.
In the aftermath of their split, she checked into The Sydney Retreat in Stanmore, where clients are offered a ’30-day recovery program’ for $8,800.
While she was staying at the clinic, a friend of Gordon’s told Daily Mail Australia of her situation: ‘Jodi is in a sensitive state.’

The Sydney Retreat expects ‘respect and consideration’ from its ‘guests’, who are housed in mostly shared rooms.
It advises on its website that it ‘is not medical treatment’, not covered by health insurance or Medicare and residents must ‘remain within the campus at all times’, and ‘leave … mobile phone and internet devices at home’.
At Windsor Local Court last month, Magistrate Leanne Robinson ordered that Gordon and Blackler, her boyfriend of 18 months, not contact each other until April 2024.

Another condition of the AVOs taken out by police against the couple – and consented to by their lawyers without admissions – forbids them from stalking, harassing or assaulting one another.
Blackler’s lawyer Michael Bowe told Daily Mail Australia the volatile romance between the pair was now over.
Neither Gordon nor Blackler, a 31-year-old Sydney wealth management firm portfolio manager, appeared in court last month.
The AVOs relate to an alleged altercation on April 3 in far north-western Sydney.
NSW Police were called to a bed and breakfast on the Sunday morning and arrested Blackler but later released him without charge.

Court documents reportedly said when police asked Blackler about bruising and swelling to his left eye, he allegedly claimed his girlfriend ‘hit him with a wine bottle’, but declined to make a formal statement.
The AVO documents, obtained by The Australian newspaper, also said police found bruising on Ms Gordon’s left eye and bottom lip, and three lumps on her forehead, but believed the injuries were days old.
Documents tendered to the court also alleged police ‘fear domestic assaults are occurring between the parties with Gordon’s consumption of intoxicating liquor exacerbating the violence’.
‘There is clearly domestic violence occurring between the parties [but they] are reluctant to disclose how the injuries have been sustained,’ the documents said.
Officers took out a restraining order against Gordon on behalf of Blackler, who was also issued with an AVO against the actress over the same alleged incident.
Police would not provide a statement when contacted by Daily Mail Australia.
The former couple had previously broken up in May 2021, but are understood to have rekindled their relationship in February this year after the expiry of an earlier AVO.

This wasn’t the first time police had taken out an AVO against Blackler on Gordon’s behalf.
Police were called to Gordon’s Double Bay apartment on November 27, 2020, over reports of an alleged domestic violence incident.
Officers subsequently took out an interim AVO to prevent Blackler from assaulting, threatening, stalking, harassing or intimidating Gordon
The following month, a court order was issued banning Blackler from assaulting or threatening, stalking, harassing or intimidating Gordon, but that expired at the end of 2021, after which they reconciled.

The former couple married in 2012, welcomed their daughter in 2014, and separated a year later.
