By MIKAELA WILKES FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA
Home and Away stars Ada Nicodemou, 47, and James Stewart, 49, are celebrating their one-year anniversary with a blended-family holiday to Port Douglas.
In what could be a sign that the couple could be preparing to walk down the aisle in real life, both actors shared sweet family snaps from their recent trip to the Great Barrier Reef with their children from past relationships.
‘A big photo dump from our holiday,’ Ada captioned her post on Wednesday, while James captioned his ‘Together’ with a series of island-themed emojis on Friday.
In Australia’s longest-running soap, Ada’s character Leah Patterson and James’ character Justin Morgan tied the knot in 2024, after being one of the longest-running unmarried pairings on the show.
In a loved-up snap taken aboard a Great Barrier Reef cruise boat, a barefaced Ada beamed at the camera with her arms wrapped around James.
Ada is mother to a 12-year-old son Johnas, whom she shares with ex-partner Chris Xipolitas, while James is father to a 12-year-old daughter Scout, whom he shares with his ex Jessica Marais.

Ada looked every inch the doting mother as she posed for a photo with James’ daughter Scout and her son Johnas.
The blended family of four enjoyed an adventurous Australian staycation in Queensland that included snorkelling, cruising, playing on the beach, and a helicopter ride.
There was no shortage of family portraits in the photos posted to social media as the happy couple soaked up the quality time with their kids.
In one picture, they even stopped to pose out the front of St Mary’s church, perhaps hinting that wedding bells might be ringing in their near future.
Ada gushed over the couple’s recent romantic connection, which blossomed after 25 years of friendship, in the latest issue of Stellar.
Revealing she is usually very private about their intimate life together, the actress said she couldn’t help but post about their recent relationship milestone because she and James, 49, have had ‘a really lovely year together’.
‘It’s been a really lovely year together,’ she told the publication when asked about her rare social media post about the pair.
‘I don’t like to post a lot of stuff about us online but, at the same time, I’m really proud of the last year we’ve had, and wanted to share that.’

Home and Away lovebirds Ada Nicodemou and James Stewart share exciting relationship news
The actress paid another tribute to James earlier this month, taking to Instagram to post a sweet collection of pictures celebrating their one year anniversary at Mimi’s in Sydney.
‘Just perfect,’ she captioned the post, which showed the happy couple enjoying a delicious meal of oysters, caviar and bubbles at the iconic eatery.
The soap opera stars were first linked at the beginning of 2024, when they were seen sharing a kiss on Anzac Day before Ada confirmed their romance in an interview.
Ada recently revealed how her Home and Away co-stars discovered her off-screen relationship with James.
Speaking on Mamamia’s No Filter podcast, she explained she had only told a small group of people she was ‘close with’ on set before ‘word got around’ about the couple’s off-screen relationship.
‘I figured I didn’t need to tell anyone else. We didn’t need a group email, people just worked it out,’ she said.
Elsewhere in the interview, Ada admitted growing feelings for her television co-star James was ‘weird’ at first.
‘Jimmy and I have known each other for 25 to 30 years and there were no feelings for a really, really long time. So I was shocked when I started having feelings,’ she said.

‘There was this chemistry for the first time—this spark that happened that wasn’t there before and it was weird.’
In July last year, Ada finally broke her silence on her romance with James after months of speculation.
But she insisted their Home And Away characters getting married on-screen was not an early sign of their real-life romance.
The couple began dating after Ada split from her ex-partner Adam Rigby just before Christmas in 2023 and James finalised his divorce from Sarah Roberts in March 2024.
