Aidan and his dads

Imagine spending almost three decades feeling like a puzzle with a missing piece. That's the story of Aidan Jones, a stand-up comedian whose life has been shaped by an extraordinary journey of self-discovery. In this episode of 'Days Like These', Aidan opens up about the tangled events that began before he was even born. His mother, returning from a trip around South America, discovered she was pregnant by her Colombian boyfriend.

This revelation set the stage for a lifelong quest for identity and belonging. Raised by Derek, Aidan always felt a bit out of place. It wasn't until his mum shared mementos of a man named Fernando that Aidan realized there was more to his story. Determined to understand his roots, he embarked on a journey that took him from Australia to Vienna, where he finally met his biological father.

Navigating the complexities of two families, Aidan's path was filled with challenges but also profound moments of growth and acceptance. He learned that defining oneself isn't about the circumstances of your birth but the choices you make every day. Tune in to hear Aidan's inspiring story of reconciling his past and embracing his true self.
