Actress Nia Vardalos has said her adopted daughter is the "triumph" of her life as she battled for 10 years to have a baby.

Nia, 46, is best-known for her role in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and she became a mum last year when she adopted a three-year-old girl, whose name she is keeping private.

The actress and her husband Ian Gomez had tried for a decade to be parents and had unsuccessful attempts at surrogacy as well as fertility drugs.

She said: "It was a big secret I was keeping during all of the success of My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

"I appreciate the luck that came my way, but I was silently praying for the simplest act in the world, to carry a child to term. Career success was empty without a family."

Nia said that a number of adoptions fell through but she finally got a call from a fostering agency.

She said: "I got a call saying: 'Your daughter is here.' And they brought this beautiful girl to our house. She walked to the front gates, and my dogs came and licked her hands. Our daughter, at three years old, walked into a home."
