Lately, fans have started noticing a shift between Home and Away star Dan Ewing and his fiancée Katrina Risteska. While both remain active on social media, their posts no longer feature each other, and that change hasn’t gone unnoticed by the fans.
Separate Lives Online
Last year, Dan had shared a warm Mother’s Day tribute to Katrina, posting a black-and-white photo of her playing with their daughter Nevaeh. In the caption, he called Katrina his “salted caramel goddess” and said he felt lucky that Nevaeh not only looked like her mum but also shared her kindness, intelligence, and sass. It was heartfelt and personal, typical of how open they once were online.
But since then, things have gone quiet. Katrina appeared only briefly in a July birthday post for Nevaeh and again in a sponsored video that December. After that, Dan’s Instagram began focusing almost entirely on fitness and personal development. Meanwhile, Katrina, who rarely posts as it is, hasn’t featured Dan since her 33rd birthday in January 2023.
A New Location Adds to Speculation
On top of the social media silence, there’s also been talk of a possible move. According to a source who spoke to Daily Mail Australia, Katrina may have left the family home in Brisbane. The couple reportedly bought a house together in Lota, a gated community in the city’s eastern suburbs, for $580,000 in 2022.
However, in April, Katrina shared a sponsored video where she was using a pressure washer outside a different-looking home. This property had a red-brick exterior and a wooden deck, which didn’t match the white façade and concrete patio of the Lota house. The subtle background change got fans wondering if she was living somewhere new. Taken with everything else, it raised more questions than answers.
Home and Away Opens Up About Hitting Rock Bottom
While Katrina has remained private, Dan has been more open about his recent struggles and growth. Earlier this month, he posted a side-by-side image showing his physical transformation from 39 to 40. He explained that a year ago, he had been a “depressed alcoholic,” weighed down by internal struggles. He said it wasn’t until the end of 2024, after hitting absolute rock bottom, that he decided to change his life.
That decision, he wrote, led him to sobriety, which in turn helped him reconnect with himself and with something greater, whether you call it God or the universe. He credited one hard choice and the support of close friends for helping him turn things around. In January, Dan shared another emotional message thanking those who stood by him, saying their love had changed his life and helped him get sober. However, Katrina wasn’t mentioned.
At this point, there’s been no official word from Dan or Katrina about a breakup, but the signs suggest things have shifted. Whether it’s a private pause or a permanent change, fans are keeping a close eye on what happens next.
