They’ve been spotted taking their burgeoning romance to the next level – introducing their kids Scout, 12, and Jonas, 11, to each other on a cute family date at Sydney’s Luna Park.
But while Ada Nicodemou and James Stewart are happily falling for one another, news of their romance is said to have rocked the cast of Summer Bay.
MAKING WAVES
An insider confides it’s all anyone can talk about, with fellow castmates worried the relationship could spell disaster for the couple and the TV show!
“The cast are shocked that Ada has fallen for James. She was against him even joining Home And Away when he first started on the show back in 2016, but now she’s done a complete 180. She’s insisting to everyone that he’s not the guy she thought he once was and that he’s really changed,” a close friend of the Aussie actress, who turns 47 this week, exclusively tells Woman’s Day.
Ada and James were caught kissing on Anzac Day, with friends revealing they’ve been quietly seeing each other recently after falling for each other while playing married lovers on Home And Away.
But so concerned are some of the long-running cast members about the fledgling romance that they’ve warned Ada off James, 48, who has a reputation for wooing his co-stars, with the father-of-one meeting and dating both Isabella Giovinazzo and ex-wife Sarah Roberts on the iconic soap.
And while James has remained a steadfast part of the show over the years, both Sarah and Isabella sadly left Summer Bay after their romances fizzled out.
According to our source, Ada’s longtime friends and castmates Ray Meagher, Emily Symons and Lynne McGranger are feeling protective of the single mother-of-one but are reluctant to get too involved
in the drama.
“Most people are just worried about Ada. Ray and Lynne aren’t the kind of people to get involved in someone else’s business and will be keeping their heads down, but they will have raised their concerns with her,” adds the source.
The friend adds that what has surprised everyone is the fact that Ada and James’ ex-wife Sarah, 39, were close friends when they starred on the show.
“Sarah and Ada shared a dressing room when she was on Home And Away and they were really good friends. Ada knew all about the ups and downs Sarah and James experienced while they were together – everyone did – which makes it all the more strange that Ada would even want to be dating him.”
HEADED FOR DISASTER?
Last month, in an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Sarah bravely revealed that she and James had secretly got divorced, after rumours of a split started circulating when they were both seen out solo without their wedding rings.
In the interview she hinted that she wasn’t able to “grow” in the marriage, with sources confirming that she “lost” herself within the relationship.
“Even if it all works out between Ada and James, it’s at best awkward for everyone else on set because they will be privy to their relationship, and at worst, if they break up, it could be the messiest split
in soap history!”
