The couple began dating after Ada split from her ex-partner Adam Rigby just before Christmas in 2023 and James finalised his divorce from Sarah Roberts in March 2024.

Home and Away star Sarah Roberts confirms she has found love after 'unhealthy relationship' with ex-husband James Stewart
Sarah Roberts has opened up about a new romance after her high-profile split from her former Home and Away co-star James Stewart. The 40-year-old actress, who split from Stewart last year, has described her marriage to the soap star as something that 'wasn't healthy'. Sarah said she has since 'found herself' - as well as a new man. 'I've fallen in love with a man, I'm so in love,' she said during an interview on the latest episode of Stellar's Something to Talk About podcast. Sarah said she feels 'grateful' to have found her new partner because he has 'allowed me to grow in beautiful and unexpected ways'. 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. 'I finally found myself, as clichéd as that may sound,' she continued. Shortly after her split, Stewart moved on with their Home and Away co-star Ada Nicodemou. Elsewhere in the chat, Sarah discussed her anguish of having to go through her separation with her former husband in the public eye. 'Dealing with it in the spotlight, and then everything that came out in the media after, absolutely ripped my heart into a million little pieces. 'But I can't change anyone else's actions or the way people behave. What I can take responsibility for is the way that I feel. 'And I know that hurt people hurt people, but healed people can heal people – and I'm so happy with where I'm at today. I've finally found a love for myself which I didn't have. 'I have beaten myself up for a long time over the fact I stayed in something that wasn't healthy.' The dark-haired beauty also appeared in a feature story for Stellar on Sunday. The former soapie star showed off her slim legs in a pair of shorts, she paired with an oversized pink blazer. Sarah rose to fame playing the character of Willow on Home and Away from 2017 to 2021 and recently revealed she still keeps close with her former soap co-stars - and why Hollywood is her next stop. 'One of my best friends was one of my cast mates on Neighbours. That goes way back. Another one of my best friends, Emily Weir, she's from Home and Away,' Sarah told Daily Mail Australia in February. 'I've also made friends with a lot of the new cast from Home and Away because Emily is friends with them and we all hang out together. 'I just had my 40th birthday party at the end of last year and I had a party on a boat on the Sydney Harbour. It was full of a lot of the Home and Away cast. I get really close to people and really value my friendships.' She is currently reprising her role as reporter Beth Ramachandran on the Stan Original series Scrublands. Sarah went on to say a large part of the reason she is still so close with her former castmates, despite having left soap shows behind four years ago, is because of how vulnerable the stars become with each other during filming. 'You share so many deep dark secrets about yourself and you have to develop a lot of trust between each other. That lends itself to strong friendships,' she said. Sarah also did two stints on Neighbours, making her debut in 2010 and later appearing as the character Sienna in 2014. As for what's next for the TV star, Sarah said she has her sights set on the next big HBO hit in Hollywood, adding she wants something she 'can sink her teeth into'. 'My next dream it would be to book a television show where I'm in a contract for five years. I would like that to be a character I can sink my teeth into. I'm not sure I'd want to do another soap,' she said. 'I would have loved to have done something like Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones. That would be a dream job for me.'

Heartbreak as Home and Away star dies suddenly: 'By far the best actor'
Tributes are pouring in after a beloved Home and Away cast member recently died. Buddy, the adorable Boxer who featured as James Stewart's dog on the show from 2016 - 2019, passed away over the weekend. His owner Shelley announced the heartbreaking news on social media. 'I have lost my Buddy. We did so many fun things together over the years. His time on Home and Away was definitely the highlight for him and me,' she began. 'He loved going more than anything. We had a final trip to the beach planned but he just didn't make it. He left peacefully at home in his bed while I held him. I have lost a big piece of my heart.' 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. The dog made his first appearance on the show with James Stewart's character, Justin Morgan, in June 2016. He was gradually phased out as the drama series began focusing on Justin's relationship with Leah Patterson, played by James' real-life girlfriend Ada Nicodemou. Heartbroken Home and Away cast members took to the comment section to pay tribute to the canine. 'RIP beautiful Buddy. You were my side kick in so many scenes... An incredible scene partner,' James Stewart wrote. 'Always knew your lines… always hit your mark.. and you could sniff out chicken wherever it was! I love ya mate.' 'Oh I am so sorry to read this. Beautiful Buddy,' added Lynne McGranger and Sophie Dillman chipped in: 'Sending you so much love. The goodness boy ever.' Meanwhile, heartbroken fans paid tribute to the dog's fine 'acting' skills. 'He was the best thing in Home and Away for many years. By far the best actor. An amazing dog, may he rest in peace and enjoy his time over the rainbow bridge,' one devastated fan wrote. Buddy was gradually phased out as the drama series began focusing on Justin's relationship with Leah Patterson, played by James' real-life girlfriend Ada Nicodemou (pictured) In August, Buddy made headlines after fans noticed a strange detail about him on the long-running Channel Seven soap opera. On a Facebook fan page, one viewer was quick to point out that Justin Morgan's beloved pooch had mysteriously gone missing from Summer Bay. 'What happened to Buddy? Never see him anymore,' commented one eagle-eyed viewer. 'Poor Buddy, he must be starving, no one ever feeds him, let alone takes him out on daily walks?!' wrote another. 'He's in the backyard,' replied another person, before one proposed a novel theory about Boxer's extended absence. '[Buddy] heard Justin singing and playing guitar and ran far away like a dog with fireworks, poor thing,' the comment read, referring to the character's tendency to sing on the show. Elsewhere, others suggested the long-running drama should go back to showing more of the characters' domestic lives.
