Home and Away star Sarah Roberts passionately kisses new boyfriend Jake Iesu - after shock divorce from James Stewart
Sarah Roberts packed on the PDA with her new beau Jake Iesu on Friday as the happy couple attended an art show in Sydney.
The pair were very loved up as they perused the displays during their date night, some of which were created by Jake who is a photographer and cinematographer.
Expressing pride in her new hubby's work, the former Home and Away star could be seen sharing a passionate kiss with her hunky man, who gladly returned the favour.
Sarah, 40, kept her look casual for the outing, flaunting her slim pins in a pair of black jeans which she paired with a black T-shirt.

The actress kept her wavy dark tresses down for the showing, highlighting her natural beauty with a very minimal makeup look.
Meanwhile, Jake kept the same outfit throughout the day, slipping into a white T-shirt with black jeans and a navy jacket.
Sarah and Jake were first spotted hand-in-hand while out in Sydney on Mother's Day.
It marked the first time she had been seen publicly with a partner since her divorce from former co-star James Stewart in 2023.
The pair appeared smitten as they strolled the streets, grabbed food, and packed on the PDA while window shopping.
It's a new chapter for the actor and DJ, who admitted in a raw interview with Stellar magazine last year her marriage breakdown had left her emotionally shattered.
'I've been really afraid of talking about this because of what I've felt to be the stigma and shame around it. But I just want to say that I am divorced,' she said in April 2024.
Sarah and James met on the Home and Away set in 2017, quickly falling in love before tying the knot in a fairy-tale wedding in Ireland in 2019.

But behind closed doors, cracks had already started to appear.
'I'll never speak on anyone else's behalf, but my belief in marriage is that two people grow and learn from each other together,' she said.
'Sometimes people just grow apart, and that's OK.'
While James has since moved on with his Home and Away co-star Ada Nicodemou, Sarah is now carving out a path of her own.
According to New Idea, Jake works as a Steadicam operator and 'occasional pilot', and recently showcased his work at an exhibition titled A Piece of Art in Crows Nest.
Although the couple have yet to post any photos together, sources say they've quietly been attending events around Sydney - including the Sydney Film Festival.
Speaking about her new romance, Sarah recently said: 'I feel grateful that I found him, because he's allowed me to grow in beautiful and unexpected ways.
'But if I didn't have that, I would still be OK. Because I finally found myself, as cliché as that may sound.'

Sarah added she's no longer afraid to speak her truth.
'I have beaten myself up for a long time over the fact that I stayed in something that wasn't healthy,' she said.
'But I've finally found a love for myself that I didn't have – and that's the most important relationship of all.'
Sarah rose to fame playing the character of Willow on Home and Away from 2017 to 2021.

Remember us? MAFS brides Alyssa Barmonde and Olivia Frazer make rare appearance as they glam up for Studio 54-themed party in Sydney
They once ruled reality TV with their explosive love stories and fiery dinner party showdowns. But on Saturday night, Married At First Sight brides Alyssa Barmonde and Olivia Frazer were turning heads for a very different reason. The duo made a rare joint appearance at Pelicano in Sydney 's Double Bay, stepping out for a glitzy Studio 54-themed soirée that drew a who's who of the reality television scene. Alyssa, 37, sizzled in a sparkling white mini-dress with long sleeves and a plunging neckline, blowing kisses to cameras as she posed alongside Olivia. Her brunette tresses were styled in loose waves, and she finished off the look with a glossy nude lip and glowing tan. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Standing beside her, Olivia, 31, showed off her curves in a blush pink off-the-shoulder mini with ruched detailing and dramatic side ties. The OnlyFans star and podcast host wore her blonde bob tousled and fresh, letting her radiant complexion take centre stage. The former brides smiled for photographers as they reunited for the Studio 54 bash, hosted by Belvedere Vodka and Pelicano, where sequin frocks, disco balls and retro beats set the scene. Also spotted at the Z-list party were fellow MAFS grooms Tony Mojanovski and Ryan Donnelly, as well as FBOY Island's Joey Robson and Love Island Australia hunk Aidan Knox. Nineties 'It Girl' Tali Jatali turned heads in a daring leopard-print bodysuit featuring a plunging neckline with low cut detailing that left little to the imagination. She teamed the look with a baby-blue micro miniskirt and slouchy white knee-high boots, channelling vintage glam with a cheeky twist. Oversized hoop earrings, sleek sunglasses and her signature long brunette locks completed the Studio 54-inspired ensemble. Elsewhere, MAFS brides Lauren Dunn and Veronica Cloherty were seen mingling in the VIP section. Rounding out the guest list was Dean Wells, who attended with his glamorous fiancée Aimee Woolley, both dressed to impress in throwback-inspired looks that fit the Studio 54 theme to a tee. Dean opted for a layered look featuring a blush pink cardigan worn over a black tee, paired with white jeans and matching loafers for a laid-back yet cheeky disco vibe. Aimee turned up the sparkle in a teal velvet halter jumpsuit with a plunging neckline and gold chain belt. She finished her look with matching heels and soft waves for a true disco diva moment.

Photoespaña 2025: colonial legacies, transitional landscapes and chance encounters
PhotoEspaña, Spain's premier festival of photography, has opened in Madrid and other locations across the country including Barcelona, Santander and Zaragoza. The capital is hosting more than 80 contemporary and historical exhibitions in a range of venues that include the grounds of the Royal Palace, the Prado, a former water tower and an old sawmill. Top left: Adelita: She Was Not Only Brave She Was Beautiful, 2023. Top right: Adelita: I Would Follow Her by Ground and Sea, 2023. Above: Toward a History of African American Women on New Spain's Far Northern Frontier, 2023. Photographs: Ayana V Jackson/Mariane Ibrahim. Nosce te Ipsum (Know Thyself) at the National Museum of Anthropology showcases the work of the African American photographer and film-maker Ayana V Jackson, whose practice involves the creative use of archival documents and items for her artistic production. In this, her first exhibition in Europe, the ironic referencing or quoting of existing imagery, for example her re-stagings of portraits of 19th-century Black horsewomen in the series You Forgot to See Me Coming, enable her to imaginatively address the representational legacies of colonialism and the Black diaspora. Her portraits of Adelitas – the name derives from that of Adela Velarde, the famed nurse of the Mexican revolution – engage with the often overlooked activities of African-descendant women during the uprising. Journalists Gathered in Search of Information During a Closed-Door Meeting of the UCD Political Council. Madrid, 1982. Photograph: Marisa Flórez. Five decades of pictures by the Spanish photojournalist Marisa Flórez are celebrated in the austere confines of Sala Canal de Isabel II. A veteran of the Informaciones and El País newspapers, her work comprises a fascinating chronicle, spanning politics, showbusiness, art and culture, of the initially male-dominated spaces of the post-Franco years. Flórez was on hand to cover the implementation of the country's new constitution; she saw the motorcade return to Spain of Pablo Picasso's exiled Guernica; she covered the terrorist attacks of the Eta years; and she documented the growth in newly permissible street demonstrations. She even photographed Margaret Thatcher opening a Marks & Spencer store. More broadly, Flórez's pictures, and indeed her own presence in the newsroom, testified to a cultural shift within the nation. 'What happened during this period of time: we had the incorporation of women in every sphere – because women before that were limited to the home,' she said. 'There was a mother, a daughter, a wife, and nothing more. Finally, we had not only women in the army, but everywhere else.' Women in Yeserías Prison, Madrid 1981. Photograph: Marisa Flórez. A survey of landscape photography by the Granada-born artist José Guerrero at Fundación Mapfre reveals his nuanced and studied investigation of the sociopolitical or, more recently, formal possibilities of the genre. In many of his early series he appears interested in landscapes that might display evidence of change and transition. Elsewhere, he is drawn to iconic territories or spaces, 'places that we recognise through other references, pictorial, also photographic, or cinematographic'. He said: 'So I've worked in the American US with some references to western movies. I've worked in La Mancha, I've worked on the River Thames.' House and Pool, Jaén, 2007, from the series Andalucía. Photograph: José Guerrero/VEGAP. During visits to Mexico in 2017-18, Guerrero took pictures inspired by the architecture of Luis Barragán. In the subsequent BRG series he undertook to recreate aspects of those pictures by photographing his own specially constructed, naturally lit models, thereby introducing to his practice questions of veracity, scale and trompe l'œil.

In 1966, the American photographer Joel Meyerowitz embarked on a year-long European road trip, visiting 10 countries, travelling 1,900 miles (30,000km) and taking about 25,000 pictures. An expansive exhibition at Fernán Gómez Centro Cultural de la Villa presents the results, with particular reference to the time spent in Spain, especially the six months he stayed in Málaga.

Though he was already familiar with the photography of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank, and the street pictures of Tony Ray-Jones and Garry Winogrand, Meyerowitz was to credit his European trip as vital to his understanding of the medium and his ability to respond to its demands. 'I saw photography as a chance medium, in which you never know what's going to happen next, and what's going to interest you,' he said. 'When something totally unexpected reveals itself in front of you, it happens precisely because you are there, ready to recognise it. I think my year in Europe offered me the opportunity to realise how important it is, in photography, to be present.' Top: Friend of El Friki and Pink Wall. Photograph: Felipe Romero Beltrán.

Bravo, Felipe Romero Beltrán's study of life, and waiting, at the border between Mexico and the US, employs a compellingly poetic form of documentary. By Pass celebrates the interventions and political activism of Lotty Rosenfeld, a central figure in Chilean video art of the 1980s. Las Horas del Sol (The Hours of the Sun), a project by the duo Bleda y Rosa, is installed with aplomb in the Royal Collections Gallery and Campo del Moro gardens. And a potted overview of German documentary practice, including work by Bernd and Hilla Becher, Thomas Struth, Candida Höfer, Andreas Gursky and Axel Hütte is displayed in the suitably utilitarian Serrería Belga. Magritte at His Easel, 1965. Photograph: Duane Michals/Admira Milano. Not least, a retrospective of Duane Michals' photography attempts to do justice to his commitment to picture the invisible. The titles of his pictures, or more often sequences, give a flavour of his aims: Grandpa Goes to Heaven; The Spirit Leaves the Body; The Young Girl's Dream; The Bogeyman. Given his ambitions, it is not altogether surprising that his astute portraits of altogether more visible sitters – Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol and René Magritte among them – threaten to steal the show.

BREAKING NEWS Matt Zukowski confirms shock split from Tammy Hembrow after less than a year of marriage
Matt Zukowski has confirmed his split from fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow after months of swirling rumours and cryptic social media posts. The Love Island Australia star, 29, announced the couple's separation in a sombre Instagram Story on Sunday, telling fans the decision was not taken lightly. 'It's with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate,' Matt began. 'Both of us have struggled with making this decision however; we need to do what is right for ourselves and her 3 children.' 'This wasn't a decision we took lightly. Our time together will always be cherished and never forgotten,' he added, before thanking fans for their support and asking for privacy.

The Love Island Australia star, 29, announced the couple's separation in a sombre Instagram Story on Sunday, telling fans the decision was not taken lightly Despite their short-lived marriage, both parties have asked for privacy as they adjust to life post-breakup. 'We appreciate everyone's support and space at this time as we navigate the split,' Matt concluded in his emotional post. The news comes less than 24 hours after he was spotted spending time with sports journalist Tayla Little at the London Tavern in Richmond, Melbourne on Saturday night. The news comes after weeks of speculation surrounding the state of the couple's whirlwind romance, with many fans convinced the pair had quietly split. Tammy, 32, first sparked concern in March after she was spotted crying in a bathroom, while Matt was later overheard allegedly ' talking crap' about his wife at a South Melbourne gym. In the weeks that followed, Matt quietly moved out of the couple's Queensland home and relocated back to Melbourne, where he resumed working for his father's pool business. While Matt continued to co-host his podcast Where's Your Head At? with ex-girlfriend and fellow Love Island alum Anna McEvoy, Tammy was noticeably absent from his social media. Meanwhile, the Gold Coast-based influencer has remained in Queensland with her three children - son Wolf, nine, daughter Saskia, seven, and toddler Posy, three - from previous relationships. Matt was notably missing from several major family events over the past two months, including Tammy's 31st birthday, Posy's fairy-themed third birthday party, and even Easter weekend. Despite exchanging vows in a glamorous Byron Bay ceremony just under a year ago and getting matching tattoos to mark their love, fans quickly noticed Matt had been erased from most of Tammy's social media - save for a few lingering images from their Vogue Australia wedding spread. She even hinted at emotional distress in a tearful video posted to Instagram earlier this month. 'I definitely don't like to pretend I am okay when I am not,' she said at the time, appearing without her wedding or engagement rings. 'I just feel like pretending is doing me more harm than good.' The video was followed by a series of cryptic TikToks and Instagram posts, including one captioned, 'when something feels off it is usually women's intuition.' Last week, Tammy teased a possible new career pivot amid the drama - telling fans she was considering launching a podcast as a form of therapy. 'I'm thinking of starting a podcast guys, because I feel like I have a lot to say. So would you listen if I did? Just food for thought,' she wrote on Instagram. Her post further fuelled speculation that a tell-all could be coming, especially given the mounting curiosity around her now-confirmed split from Matt.
