Home and Away star James Stewart’s real-life romance with Ada Nicodemou is revealed – as

Home and Away star James Stewart has sparked rumours he is dating his co-star Ada Nicodemou, after splitting with his wife Sarah Roberts after five years.

Sources close to the star reveal that Stewart and Nicodemou’s on-screen chemistry has blossomed into a real-life connection.

It comes after the 48-year-old actor was pictured leaving his apartment in Coogee with a suitcase via an Uber and checking into the Swissotel Hotel in Sydney‘s CBD on April 24. 

Stewart, dressed casually in a white T-shirt paired with classic blue jeans, and a brown cap, seemed focused, possibly mulling over his next move. 

Further fuelling romance rumours, the pair was also observed enjoying a cozy date at a local cinema, where they were not shy about displaying their affection publicly. 

Nicodemou was married to Chrys Xipolitas for nine years but are believed to have split briefly in 2010, before reconciling and welcoming a son named Johnas in August 2012. 

Stewart’s ex Roberts, revealed the sad news in an interview with Stellar magazine last weekend.

‘I just want to say that I am divorced,’ she told the publication. 

‘Sometimes people grow apart and that’s okay… I got to a point where I realised I couldn’t grow in the way I wanted to within this particular relationship.’

Roberts and Stewart married in 2019 after getting engaged in November 2018. Stewart proposed at the restaurant where they’d had their first date a year earlier. 

The pair tied the knot at Luttrellstown Castle, on the outskirts of Dublin, in July 2019.

Roberts’ revelation comes after years of speculation the couple had split.

Rumours surfaced after Stewart was absent at the premiere of her film Wog Boys Forever in Melbourne back in October 2022.

He was ‘nowhere to be seen on the red carpet’ and was apparently no longer following his wife’s Instagram account. 

At the time, Roberts’ agent denied they had broken up. 

The pair later put rumours to rest when Roberts proudly flashed her wedding ring at the AACTA Awards in December that year.

Speaking with Now To Love, she also shot down persistent rumours she and James had split.

‘We’re happy,’ she told the publication.

Sarah told the publication Stewart was romantic as ever, even picking her up from the airport with a bouquet of flowers following her trip to Italy.

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Ada and James for comment. 

Roberts starred on Home and Away from 2017 to 2021, before walking away to focus on her film career.

Stewart is still currently starring on the Australian soap, where he plays Justin Morgan.

The actor shares daughter Scout, 11, with his ex-fiancée Jessica Marais, whom he met on the set of Packed to the Rafters in 2009.

They had announced their engagement in October 2010, and welcomed Scout in May 2012.

In 2015, the pair called it quits, with Stewart later saying: ‘Our relationship didn’t work out because I think hearts go in different directions eventually.’
