The sunny shores of Summer Bay have set the stage for a real-life romance, as Home and Away co-stars Sarah Roberts and James Stewart have confirmed they are a couple after months of speculation.
Fans of the long-running Australian soap opera have watched their characters, Willow Harris and Justin Morgan, navigate a turbulent on-again, off-again relationship. Now, it appears life has imitated art, with the pair's undeniable chemistry spilling over from the screen into a genuine off-set connection.
From Co-Stars to Couple
The duo have been quietly dating for some time, expertly keeping their blossoming relationship under wraps. Their secret was finally unveiled when they were photographed looking cosy and very much together during a low-key outing, confirming what many on the set had suspected.
Sources close to the production suggest the pair grew close while filming intense and emotional scenes together, with a deep friendship naturally evolving into something more romantic away from the cameras.
A New Chapter for Both
For James Stewart, 45, this new relationship marks a fresh start. He was previously engaged to fellow actress Jessica Marais, with whom he shares a young daughter. Sarah Roberts, 35, was previously married to Dancing With The Stars judge Todd McKenney.
Fellow cast members have reportedly given the couple their full blessing, with the Home and Away set described as a supportive and happy environment for the new couple.
While they are yet to make a formal public statement, their loved-up appearance speaks volumes, signalling the start of a exciting new chapter for both the beloved actors.
