It wasn’t Home and Away this time, but Ada Nicodemou still stole the spotlight! The soap star rocked a daring red carpet outfit alongside her real-life partner James Stewart at a glitzy event, and the cameras couldn’t get enough.
From Home and Away Set Romance to Real-Life
Ada and James looked every bit the picture-perfect couple at the Tour de Cure Gala on June 13, but fans know this love story’s got layers. Their chemistry first made headlines back in April 2024, when they were spotted locking lips off-screen. They actually met on Home and Away, and their romance spilled from the script into real life.
Not long after, Ada confirmed they were dating in a Stellar interview that July. Both had moved on from serious relationships, Ada had split quietly from businessman Adam Rigby at the end of 2023 after eight years together. Meanwhile, James and his ex-wife Sarah Roberts, also a Home and Away alum, ended their five-year marriage earlier in April 2024.
That Dress Had Everyone Talking
Now back to that jaw-dropping moment, Ada showed up in a floor-length black and red floral gown, complete with a daring cut-out that turned heads and sparked chatter. Known for usually keeping it more classic, this bold choice had fans doing a double take. James played the perfect plus-one in a slick tux, and the two looked absolutely smitten on the carpet.
The event wasn’t short on celebs, Sunrise host Edwina Bartholomew made an appearance, and TV chef Colin Fassnidge surprised fans with a new look, rocking black-rimmed glasses. But no doubt about it, Ada and James stole the show. From their red carpet presence to their off-screen romance, they’ve quickly become one of the soap world’s favourite couples.
