When he’s not playing Justin Morgan on Home and Away, James Stewart loves nothing more than spending time with his daughter Scout Stewart.
Last week James confessed he was feeling “nervous” about his only child, who he shares with ex Jessica Marais, starting big school next year.
And now it seems the impending milestone has really hit the 42-year-old.
On Sunday, James uploaded a cherubic snap of Scout asking her for one small albeit impossible favour.
“Don’t grow up too quick sweetheart,” Jame penned alongside a stunning photo of his girl in a blue Frozen-esque Princess dress.
It’s a bitter-sweet moment that all parents can relate to but James says despite his little girl growing up before his eyes, she’ll always be his main priority.
“Once you realise it’s about Scout, everything’s easy,” he told Sunday Style of co-parenting with his former fiancee.
“Jess and I have nothing to hide. I think dignity is the key. We are both out for each other’s best interests.”
Many fans were quick to comment about just how much Scout is the perfect combination of Jess and James.
“Omg she is just beautiful. a perfect mix of mum and dad,” one person wrote.

“She is just absolutely gorgeous! Awesome mix of mum and dad,” another agreed.
“What a stunning girl. Can see both mum and dad in her here” @teganml said.
While others thought she was a clone of Jess.
“Aww beautiful like her mum,” a well-wisher mused.
“She’s just like her beautiful Mumma,” another added.
Jess and James, who fell in love on the set of Packed to the Rafters, called off their romance in 2015.
