“Plus filming is in Melbourne, so it’s super convenient and manageable for her.”
But could these tense pictures of the couple reveal that the change in work schedules could be causing some stress?

“She felt right back at home and it made her realise just how much she had missed being in front of a camera,” the source says.
The 36-year-old star first prompted speculation she was returning to acting after posting a throwback photo with her first agent, Joan Gibson, last month on Instagram.
Bec isn’t the first Home and Away star to jump soap ships, with Jodi Anasta, Christie Hayes, Lincoln Lewis and Andrew Morley also making the switch in recent years.
