Home and Away stars Ada Nicodemou and James Stewart have put breakup rumors to rest with heartwarming photos from their first family holiday together in the Gold Coast, Queensland. The couple, who are parents to their respective children from previous relationships, shared intimate snapshots of their fun-filled week. Ada, 47, is the mother of Johnas, with her ex-husband Chrys Xipolitas, while James, 49, is the father of Scout, from his past relationship with Packed to the Rafters star Jessica Marais.
The holiday photos come shortly after rumors of a potential split circulated among fans, ignited by a post in a Home and Away Facebook group. To silence the speculation, Ada and James shared a joyful collection of images from their getaway, captioned:
“Our week spent in paradise… 3 theme parks in 3 days, go-karting, JetSki’s, bowling, swimming, singing, and lots of laughs and love ❤️…bring on 2025!!! 🎉”
The pictures show the family enjoying their time at various theme parks, along with James’ twin brother Nick Stewart and his partner. The couple’s strong bond and happiness were clearly on display, reaffirming that their relationship is going strong.
The Love Story Timeline
Ada and James’ romance began to blossom after both of their previous relationships came to an end. In April 2024, they were spotted kissing on Anzac Day, shortly after news broke that James had quietly divorced Home and Away co-star Sarah Roberts, with Sarah publicly addressing the split in late April. Similarly, Ada’s relationship with businessman Adam Rigby reportedly ended in 2023.
Ada confirmed the romance during a July 2024 interview with Stellar, calling their relationship “unexpected” and expressing how happy she was. “Jimmy and I are together, yes. It’s only early days. It’s very recent and very unexpected. I’m super happy. It’s really lovely,” she shared.
The couple made their official debut at the 2024 Logies in August, publicly confirming their relationship.
Shutting Down the Breakup Rumors
Rumors about Ada and James’ breakup started circulating over Christmas in a Home and Away fan group, prompting an admin to swiftly refute the claims. The admin shared recent photos from James’ twin brother Nick’s Instagram, showing Ada and James looking happy and in love.
“I saw them on the beach at the Gold Coast last week and they were very much together,” one fan chimed in. Another added, “Happy families… James and Ada are very much in love.”
Fans were quick to point out how unnecessary the rumors were, with one speculating, “I wouldn’t be surprised if James and Ada tie the knot in the future.”
The couple’s joyful holiday snaps and their continued public affection clearly show that their relationship is stronger than ever.
