Letโs be real โ if the lives and loves of Summer Bayโs residents existed in real life, weโd have long given up on keeping stock of whoโs dating who.
Over the years, weโve seen on-screen loves turn into real-life loves โ and in most cases, it seems their IRL romance features a lot less drama in comparison to their characters.
Whatโs more, a number of the actors whoโve hooked up in the real world are ridiculously cute.
If youโre anything like us, youโll also be familiar with the thrill of witnessing an adorable new Summer Bay pairing make it work against whatever devilry the script writers threw at them.
But even better than that was realising that said adorable new couple are actually dating off camera.
Thatโs why we decided to pin-point them all in one place.
Keep scrolling to see all the couples who have come from Home and Away over the years (even if they didnโt go the distance!)

Sophie and Patrick
Sophie Dillman and Patrick OโConnor, who play Ziggy and Dean, are the modern-day poster couple for Home and Away relationships.
But unlike many of their fellow lovebirds, Sophie and Patrick actually met long before stepping foot into the fictional small town. โWe actually knew each other at uni โ we went to acting school together years ago,โ Sophie revealed in March 2021.
In May 2022, Sophie, who also plays Patrickโs character Deanโs on-screen girlfriend Ziggy, told TV WEEK that itโs been surprisingly easy to separate their personal and professional lives. โWeโve sort of made boundaries of โwork is work and home is homeโ,โ she said.
โEspecially at work, youโre playing a character, youโre not playing yourself. So itโs not like Sophie and Patty are having an argument, itโs Dean and Ziggy. And weโre very different from our characters so itโs most of the time fine.โ

Home and Awayโs glorious young couple Hayley and Noah melted our hearts on-screen, but actors Beau Brady and Bec Hewittโs off-screen relationship unfortunately came to an end in 2004. We all know what happened next โ the blonde actress is now happily married to Aussie tennis legend Lleyton Hewitt. Guess thereโs always a happily ever afterโฆ

James and Sarah
Glorious Summer Bay couple James Stewart and Sarah Roberts tied the knot in July 2019 in a stunning wedding attended by only their close family and friends.
Their characters, Justin and Willow, also had a whirlwind romance on the show. In fact, Sarah (who left the soap in 2021) previously revealed that the bond between her and James is so strong, that their romantic scenes together felt completely natural. โThereโs real chemistry, so itโs easy โ I donโt even have to act!โ she explained.
Sarah is a doting step-mum to Jamesโ eight-year-old daughter Scout, who he shares with ex Jessica Marais.

Indiana Evans & Rhys Wakefield
If you watched Home and Away in 2006, youโll undoubtedly have been utterly thrilled to know actors Maddie (Indiana Evans) and Lucas (Rhys Wakefield) were reportedly together in real life. Seriously, this former OG couple were the Ryan and Marissa of Aussie television. Those were the days!

Lincoln Lewis and Indiana Evans
Lincoln Lewis and Indiana dated for several months before calling it quits in 2008. Lincoln depicted a the charming, yet slightly lost soul of Geoff on the hit show, while Indianaโs character Maddie was an absolute sweetheart. Theyโd have made a cute on-screen couple, too!

Rebecca Breeds and Luke Mitchell
Rebecca Breeds and Luke Mitchell played Ruby and Romeo in Summer Bay โ and while their characters didnโt seal the deal, the talented actors did! The pair met in 2009 at a mutual friendโs housewarming. At the time, Luke had just moved to Sydney for his Home And Away gig, while Rebecca was already filming the show.
โI felt like I already knew him. It was absolutely a feeling that we had lived another life together,โ she previously said of their first meeting. โI knew immediately after the party that what I had with Luke was that soulmate thing.โ
The Summer Bay golden couple are now based in the US, along with their adorable dog Alfie.
