After months of speculation that Roberts and Stewart had split, it was confirmed that Stewart, who plays Justin Morgan on the popular soapie, is now in a real-life relationship with Nicodemou, who plays his on-screen partner Leah Patterson.

On Saturday Roberts, who played Willow Harris on Home and Away from 2017 to 2021, shared a reel to Instagram, thanking two friends who helped ‘’bring her back to life’’ after her split from Stewart.

The video showed Roberts drinking wine and enjoying a laugh with her friend, choreographer Danielle Evrat, and her partner Ben Miles.

‘’These two. Brought me back to life. Literally,’’ she wrote.

‘’Put a roof over my head, filled me with wine, cookies, memories, (the best) carbonara (I’ve ever had!), giggles, deep conversations, self-confidence, a new found zest for life.’’

Roberts continued: ‘’A safe haven on this twisty-turny journey. The only regret I have from living with then is that I didn’t take enough photos but I definitely filled the memory bank to the absolute brim.’’

‘Here’s to the next chapter’

Her post was finished with the hashtag ‘’here’s to the next chapter’’.

‘’I got to a point where I realised I couldn’t grow in the way I wanted to within this particular relationship.’’

But rumours emerged that their relationship was on the rocks after Stewart failed to turn up to the premiere of Roberts’ film Wog Boys Forever in late 2022.

After that, they appeared much less often on each other’s social media, prompting fans to wonder if they were still together.
