Home and Away star James Stewart has sparked rumors that he is dating co-star Ada Nicodemou, after splitting from wife Sarah Roberts after five years.
Sources close to the star reveal that Stewart and Nicodemou’s on-screen chemistry has blossomed into a real-life connection.
It comes after the 48-year-old actor was photographed leaving his Coogee apartment with a suitcase via Uber and checking into the Swissotel hotel in Sydney’s CBD on April 24.

To further fuel the romance rumors, the couple was also seen enjoying a cozy date at a local movie theater, where they had no qualms about publicly displaying their affection.
