Former Home and Away star Sarah Roberts has broken her silence after it was revealed her ex-husband James Stewart is now dating co-star Ada Nicodemou.
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’’.
Fans and followers flocked to the comments section to offer their support.
‘’It’s really good to have friends that are like your family,’’ one follower wrote.
‘’This is Sarah’s season to soar,’’ wrote another.
‘’You’ve absolutely got this.’’
Even Roberts’ own mum, Sharma De Abrew, dropped a comment beneath her daughter’s post.
‘’Thank you to Ben and Danni for being there at a time she needed the support. You are both awesome,’’ she wrote.
Roberts confirmed that she was divorced from Stewart in a Stellar interview in April.
‘’Sometimes people grow apart and that’s okay,’’ she told the outlet.
‘’I got to a point where I realised I couldn’t grow in the way I wanted to within this particular relationship.’’
Is James Stewart in a relationship with Ada Nicodemou?
That same month, it emerged that Stewart, 48, and Nicodemou, 47, were an item, with The Sunday Telegraph reporting that romance had blossomed between Stewart and Nicodemou at Channel Seven’s 2023 Christmas Party.
It’s rumoured the pair will make their official debut as a couple at this year’s Logie Awards on August 18.
Roberts and Stewart married in 2019 after two years of dating.
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.
Do James Stewart and Ada Nicodemou have children?
Stewart has an 11-year-old daughter Scout with former fiance and Packed to the Rafters co-star star Jessica Marais, whom he dated before marrying Roberts.
Nicodemou has a 12-year-old son Johnas, with former partner Chris Xipolitas, from whom she split in late 2015.
The actress was in a relationship with businessman Adam Rigby from 2016 until 2023.
