In heartwarming news from the world of television, Home and Away star Adam Rowland has announced his engagement to his longtime partner, Olivia Lewis. The actor, beloved for his role as musician Remi Carter, shared the joyous update with his fans this week.
A Sunset Proposal at an Iconic Landmark
The 30-year-old actor chose a breathtakingly romantic setting for the life-changing question. He proposed to Olivia at the iconic Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh, Scotland, as the pair took in a stunning sunset view from the historic hill.
Adam documented the magical moment with a photograph posted to his Instagram on Tuesday. In the image, he is seen down on one knee, presenting an engagement ring to his beloved against the dramatic backdrop. He captioned the romantic snap simply: 'Our favourite sunrise.'
Flood of Congratulations from Summer Bay Co-Stars
The announcement was swiftly met with an outpouring of love and congratulations from Rowland's colleagues in the entertainment industry, particularly his Home and Away family.
Fellow cast members rushed to the comments section to share their excitement. Emily Symons wrote, 'Congratulations to you both. How exciting,' while Maddison Brown exclaimed, 'OMG!!!!! Congratulations.'
Jacqui Purvis and Juliet Godwin both added their celebratory messages, and a notably excited Angelina Thomson, who plays Kirby Aramoana alongside Rowland's character in the show, posted: 'AHHHHHH CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH YAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!'
From Lyrik's Lead Guitarist to Real-Life Fiancé
Adam Rowland joined the cast of the long-running Australian soap in 2021, quickly becoming a fan favourite in the role of Remi Carter, the lead guitarist for the band Lyrik. His on-screen bandmates include Angelina Thomson, Stephanie Panozzo, and Rob Mallet.
The engagement news offers a cheerful real-life counterpoint to his character's recent dramatic storyline. The season finale of Home and Away left viewers on a devastating cliff-hanger, with Remi caught up in a horrific train crash, leaving his fate uncertain.
Away from the drama of Summer Bay, Adam recently shared insights into his personal life, telling TV Week about his traditional family Christmases in Albury-Wodonga and plans to unwind with old school friends over backyard cricket. Now, he and Olivia have the perfect reason to celebrate as they plan their future together.
