Home and Away star James Stewart has sparked rumours he is dating his co-star Ada Nicodemou, after splitting from his wife-of-five-years Sarah Roberts.

Sources close to the soap actor, who shares daughter Scout, 11, with former partner Jessica Marais, reveal Stewart and Nicodemou's on-screen chemistry has blossomed into a real-life connection.

The rumours emerged after 48-year-old Stewart was pictured leaving his apartment in Coogee with a suitcase and catching an Uber to the Swissotel Hotel in Sydney's CBD on April 24.

There was also recently a sighting of Stewart and Nicodemou - who play lovers on Home and Away - at a cinema, where onlookers said they were 'not shy' about displaying their affection publicly.

Nicodemou was married to Chrys Xipolitas for nine years. They reportedly split briefly in 2010 before reconciling and welcoming a son, Johnas, in August 2012.

The actress, who also starred in '90s soap Heartbreak High, went on to split from Xipolitas for good and dated businessman Adam Rigby for about eight years.

They called it quits sometime in late 2023.

The news of Stewart and Nicodemou growing close comes after his ex Roberts - a Home and Away alum - confirmed to Stellar magazine the pair had divorced.

'I just want to say that I am divorced,' she told the publication.

'Sometimes people grow apart and that's okay... I got to a point where I realised I couldn't grow in the way I wanted to within this particular relationship.'

Roberts and Stewart wed in 2019 after getting engaged in November 2018. He had proposed at the restaurant where they'd had their first date a year earlier. 

The pair tied the knot at Luttrellstown Castle, on the outskirts of Dublin, Ireland, in July 2019.

Roberts' divorce confirmation came after years of speculation the couple had split.

The rumours first bubbled to the surface after Stewart was absent at the premiere of her film Wog Boys Forever in Melbourne in October 2022.

He was 'nowhere to be seen on the red carpet' and was apparently no longer following his wife's Instagram account, reports suggested. 

At the time, Roberts' agent denied they had broken up.

The pair later put rumours to rest when Roberts proudly flashed her wedding ring at the AACTA Awards in December that year.

Speaking with Now To Love at the time, she also shot down the break-up rumours.

'We're happy,' she told the website.

Roberts added that her husband was as romantic as ever, even picking her up from the airport with a bouquet of flowers after a recent trip to Italy.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Nicodemou and Stewart for comment.

Roberts starred on Home and Away from 2017 to 2021, before walking away to focus on her film career.

Stewart is still starring on the Australian soap, in which he plays Justin Morgan.

The actor shares daughter Scout, 11, with his ex-fiancée Jessica Marais, whom he met on the set of Packed to the Rafters in 2009.

They had announced their engagement in October 2010, and welcomed Scout in May 2012.

In 2015, the pair called it quits, with Stewart later saying: 'Our relationship didn't work out because I think hearts go in different directions eventually.'
