Home And Away Stars Make Public Debut As Couple

Stars of Home and Away Ada Nicodemou and James Stewart launched themselves at the 2024 Logies, marking their formal coupling debut.

After being seen kissing on Anzac Day, the couple—who play on-screen lovers Leah and Justin on Home and Away—came forth with their romance in July. It happened after The Sunday Telegraph revealed that, following their kissing sighting at Channel Seven’s Christmas Party the previous year, the couple had quietly moved their on-screen romance off-screen.

The announcement followed reports that Ada’s relationship with Sydney businessman Adam Rigby had terminated late, and that James and ex-wife Sarah Roberts had secretly separated at some point in the previous year. Sarah had addressed the divorce in late April.

Ada first talked about the relationship in July, telling the Hughesy, Ed, and Erin program that it was “unexpected but really lovely.” However, the couple’s appearance on Logies is their first public appearance together, and they have both been posting love-themed photos to Instagram.

“Butterflies. I’m thrilled to spend the evening with you, @jamesstewart ❤️. James uploaded his own gallery and captioned a set of pictures that Ada posted, writing, “Crazy happy!”

“You two look amazing! Have fun! “So happy for you both,” Lynne McGranger, their co-star from Home and Away, remarked beneath Ada’s pictures.

“Ada & James or Leah & Justin 😂 you both look great!” Another fan remarked, “Gorgeous couple use both deserve to be happy♥️,” in response to another comment.

In July, Ada stated that being open about their romance didn’t really change anything for the couple during an interview on Sunrise.

“Look, it doesn’t really impact our connection whether it’s out there or not. We’re glad to be together,” she remarked. James is simply a phenomenal actor. Working with him is a pleasure. That hasn’t changed either, so it doesn’t really affect us whether it’s available or not.”
