Scroll on for everything you need to know about their relationship.
Are Ada Nicodemou and James Stewart a couple?
Yes! Ada and James have been co-stars for many years, but things became romantic between them in 2024.
It is not known exactly when they started dating, but news of their relationship was made public when they were spotted sharing a kiss on Anzac Day 2024.
They marked their first anniversary in April 2025, so it is thought that they had only just started dating when they were spotted sharing a smooch.
In July 2024, Ada gushed over her relationship with James, telling Sunrise that they were really “happy” together.
“James is such an amazing actor. I love working with him. That’s not changed as well,” she said.
“Yeah, so whether it’s out there or not doesn’t really change anything for us.”
They made their relationship red carpet official at the 2024 Logie Awards and have only gone from strength to strength since.
They have jetted on trips around the globe together and enjoyed each other’s company during their two-year romance, and they are now engaged to be married.
Do Ada Nicodemou and James Stewart have children?
Both Ada and James have children from their previous relationships.
Ada shares a son, Johnas, with her ex-husband, Chrys Xipolitas, while James has a daughter, Scout, with his ex-wife, Packed to the Rafters star Jessica Marais.
They previously told our sister publication TV WEEK that their two children have built a very special bond since they merged their blended families.
“They get along so well,” Ada revealed.
“They’re like brother and sister now.”
Ada and James have taken Scout and Johnas on blended family holidays, including a trip to Port Douglas.
Of making the news of their relationship public, Ada and James said the only thing that mattered to them was their children.
“The only thing that mattered was our kids,” James said at the 2025 Logie Awards. “That our kids knew and agreed.”
What happened between James Stewart and Sarah Roberts?
After splitting from his first wife, Jessica, James found love again with his Home and Away co-star Sarah Roberts.
Sarah, who played Willow on the soap opera, first started dating in 2017 and got married in 2019.
However, the couple went their separate ways in 2023, with Sarah later hinting that she wasn’t “happy” by the end of their marriage.
“For a while I wasn’t the happiest chappy on the block, but I’m loving life at the moment,” she told the Herald Sun in August 2024.
“So much has changed. I don’t have any regrets […] I think (it’s good) if you can learn to grow, which is what I always wanted to do within my marriage.
“I wanted to do it with a team partner, and that’s going to be someone else now.”
Ada was previously dating Adam Rigby, but they split at the end of 2023 after eight years together.
