‘Home and Away’ star Ada Nicodemou addresses controversial romance with co-star James Stewart
"Look, whether it's out there or not – it doesn't really change our relationship."
‘Home and Away’ stars Ada Nicodemou and James Stewart just revealed they’re dating in real life, but with that announcement came a whole lot of controversy about their relationship timeline.
In case you missed it, Ada spilled all the deets in an interview with Stellar Magazine, gushing about how “unexpected” their romance was.
“Jimmy and I are together, yes. It’s only early days. It’s very recent and very unexpected,” she said.
Rumours of a potential relationship between the two came about after Yahoo Lifestylereported Ada and James were spotted allegedly kissing at Channel Seven’s Christmas Party last year.
Timelines are blurry, but the news came after it was announced James and ex-wife Sarah Roberts had quietly divorced at some stage in the last 12 months. Sarah only officially addressed the divorce in late April.
Meanwhile, Ada’s 8-year relationship with her ex Adam Rigby reportedly ended in late 2023.
Since the news broke, Ada’s ex has been dropping some not-so-subtle digs on Instagram.
“One foot in front of the other,” he wrote also addressing their breakup in April, along with a bunch of motivational quotes, including: “Live each moment with integrity.”

Sarah also shared a recent Instagram reel thanking friends for helping “bring her back to life” – which we can only assume is hinting at a post-split comeback.
Even fans are getting themselves involved, with one writing: “You deserve to be with someone that wants you, not everyone they work with.”

Ada also addressed balancing being co-stars and a couple on a recent episode of the Australian morning show ‘Sunrise.’
“Look, whether it’s out there or not – it doesn’t really change our relationship. We’re happy, we’re together. James is just such an amazing actor, I love working with him, and that’s not changed,” Ada told the show’s hosts.
I’m not sure what’s more juicy, the plot of Summer Bay or the relationships making their way off-screen and into reality.
