There was a lot of speculation on how Home And Away’s James Stewart and Ada Nicodemou were going to mark their first official outing as a couple at the 64th Logie Awards this year.
And as they first stepped out onto the carpet, striding hand-in-hand and wearing matching outfits, it’s safe to say the couple did not disappoint!
Talking to TV WEEK, Ada, 47, professes that it “feels great” to finally to mark their first official outing as a couple at TV’s night of nights.
“We’re so happy. It’s been a really lovely day and I am just so excited to share the night with him [James].
“And we look really good together don’t you think?” she asks, in a nod to their matching black ensembles.
“I love that we’re matching,” James, 48, adds, before quipping that they did not, however, match when it came to their getting ready rituals.
“He’s seen how long it takes to get ready for the Logies, but I think he was shocked at how many people were in my room helping me,” laughs Ada.
“He had to retreat the bathroom to have some quiet time.”
“If you can do a Logies with your partner, you can do anything,” James quips.
Reflecting on their past year together as both an on-screen and off-screen couple, James revealed the anticipated wedding of their characters Leah and Justin earlier this year was “one of the best shoots I’ve ever been on”.
“It was beautiful,” he shares.
“And I think it was a really iconic moment for Home And Away,” Ada adds.
The pair also revealed they were loving getting to experience the night together.
“I cannot wait to dance together at the after party,” she shared. “We’re gonna dance the night away. And I mean, James can dance. How good was he on Dancing with the Stars. He knows how to move!”
Ada – who has played the role of Leah Patterson on the beloved Australian drama since 2000 – only confirmed her relationship with James – who plays Justin Morgan in the show – in an interview with Stellar in July.
“Jimmy and I are together, yes,” Ada revealed.
“At 47, you know what you want and what you don’t. It’s only early days. It’s very recent and very unexpected. I’m super happy. It’s really lovely.”
Ada and James had been pictured kissing on Anzac Day in Sydney, sparking intrigue over their relationship.
In her interview with Stellar, Ada addressed the fact that she and James had filmed wedding scenes for Home and Away in 2023 – confirming the pair were not romantically involved then.
