Rumors have circulated that on-screen lovers James Stewart and Ada Nicodemou are involved in a real-life romance.
And a new photo emerged of the couple at Luna Park with their respective children, but not their partners, on April 7, before they announced that they were both single.
In the cozy photo, James was sitting across from Ada at a table at the theme park, with his daughter Scout, 11, by his side.
Meanwhile, his supposed love sat next to his 12-year-old son Johnas.
Nicodemou’s split from her partner of eight years Adam Rigby became public last week.

The couple reportedly split late last year.
Meanwhile, Stewart’s ex-wife, Sarah Roberts, confirmed on April 20 that the actor’s divorce had been finalized five weeks earlier in March.
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 the 1990s soap opera Heartbreak High, permanently split from Xipolitas and dated businessman Adam Rigby for about eight years.
They dropped it sometime in late 2023.

Stewart has sparked rumors that he is dating co-star Nicodemou, after splitting from his wife of five years, Sarah Roberts. The two become lovers in the soap opera.
“Sometimes people grow apart and that’s okay… I got to a point where I realized I couldn’t grow the way I wanted to within this particular relationship.”
Roberts and Stewart married in 2019 after getting engaged in November 2018. He proposed to her at the restaurant where they had their first date a year earlier.
The couple married at Luttrellstown Castle, outside Dublin, Ireland, in July 2019.
Nicodemou quietly split from businessman Adam Rigby after eight years together in late 2023.
Confirmation of Roberts’ divorce came after years of speculation about the couple’s split.
The rumors first surfaced after Stewart was absent from the premiere of his film Wog Boys Forever in Melbourne in October 2022.
“He was nowhere to be seen on the red carpet” and apparently no longer followed his wife’s Instagram account, reports suggested.
At the time, Roberts’ agent denied they had broken up.

The couple later put the rumors to rest when Roberts proudly showed off her wedding ring at the AACTA Awards in December of that year.
Speaking to Now To Love at the time, she also dismissed breakup rumours.
“We are happy,” he told the website.
Roberts added that her husband was as romantic as ever, even picking her up at the airport with a bouquet of flowers after a recent trip to Italy.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Nicodemou and Stewart for comment.
