Home and Away star finds love after 'unhealthy' relationship with co-star ex
Home and Away star Sarah Roberts has revealed that she has finally found love again, following her tumultuous marriage with co-star James Stewart. The TV star, 40, who played Willow Harris in the Australian soap, split from James last year and described their relationship as something that "wasn't healthy."
But now, Sarah admitted that she has fallen in love with a new man who allows her "to grow in beautiful and unexpected ways." Speaking on the Stellar's Something to Talk About podcast, she said: "I've fallen in love with a man, I'm so in love. I finally found myself, as clichéd as that may sound."
Soon after the couple called time on their marriage, reports surfaced that he too had found love again with fellow Home and Away star Ada Nicodemou.
And while Sarah appeared to beam with delight when talking about her new love, it seems dealing with her split in the public eye took its toll.
She explained: "Dealing with it in the spotlight, and then everything that came out in the media after, absolutely ripped my heart into a million little pieces. But I can't change anyone else's actions or the way people behave. What I can take responsibility for is the way that I feel."
She said: "And I know that hurt people hurt people, but healed people can heal people – and I'm so happy with where I'm at today. I've finally found a love for myself which I didn't have. I have beaten myself up for a long time over the fact I stayed in something that wasn't healthy."
Sarah found fame after landing the role of Willow in the Aussie soap between 2017 and 2021. But despite leaving the soap, it seems Sarah still has ties to the cast.
Back in February Sarah told Daily Mail Australia: "One of my best friends was one of my cast mates on Neighbours. That goes way back. Another one of my best friends, Emily Weir, she's from Home and Away."
She added: "I've also made friends with a lot of the new cast from Home and Away because Emily is friends with them and we all hang out together. I just had my 40th birthday party at the end of last year and I had a party on a boat on the Sydney Harbour. It was full of a lot of the Home and Away cast. I get really close to people and really value my friendships.'
Sarah continued: "You share so many deep dark secrets about yourself and you have to develop a lot of trust between each other. That lends itself to strong friendships."
While Sarah craved out a career for herself in Australian soaps, it looks as though she has now set her ambitions on landing a role on a HBO series in Hollywood.
She told the publication: "My next dream it would be to book a television show where I'm in a contract for five years. I would like that to be a character I can sink my teeth into. "
Sarah added: "I'm not sure I'd want to do another soap. I would have loved to have done something like Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones. That would be a dream job for me."

Star of Emmy-winning TV series reveals she's now working in restaurant kitchen after axe from show
EUPHORIA'S Nika King has revealed she's now working in a restaurant kitchen after being axed from the show. Nika, 46, who played Rue's mum Leslie Bennett in the Emmy-winning drama, surprised fans by posting a video of herself scrubbing floors and cleaning. 5 The footage was shot at the Blue Tree Café - a vegan soul food restaurant she co-owns with her mom Sharon in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Sharing the clip on Instagram, the actress joked: 'When ppl ask me if I'm filming S3 of Euphoria?' before cutting to footage of her cleaning the kitchen. Fans couldn't believe their eyes and soon rushed to the comments section. One wrote: "You know the job market is terrible when main actors of a huge TV show are struggling,' while another added: 'Learning that actors have real jobs out of the filming roles is really humbling to me.' A third said: "As an actor who's been out of work for the past two years after the biggest show I've ever done, this felt really validating,' one fan commented. 'Thanks for sharing.' Someone else added: 'This is real life and I'm glad you showed it. People think every actor or actress is rich off one show, and I know some that work regular jobs after being on a Hulu show.' Back in February, Nika confirmed she wouldn't be returning for season three, saying: 'I see the DMs, I see the comments asking if I'm returning for a season three on Euphoria – and unfortunately, I am not.' 'My character is not coming back to the show, but I am forever grateful to HBO and Zendaya and Sam Levinson for giving me the opportunity to come on set and do my thing and do my dramatic thing – because a lot of people don't know I come from a comedy background – but I am so excited about what's next for me. 'Without Euphoria, I was not able to step into who I am as an actor, as a daughter, as a person who is always looking for healing in every project that I do – so I feel like this was necessary in my growth. 'And yeah, to the fans, I love y'all. I mean, I didn't know I even had fans! People were like, checking for me. I'm like, 'Oh, okay, cool' – but thank you so much. And you guys have an amazing day – peace and blessings.' Euphoria 'likely to end' with season 3 - but fans predict it 'won't ever end up getting made' after production delays Since her exit from the show, Nika has appeared in several films, including Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot and The Rebel Girls, both in 2024, as well as 65 alongside Adam Driver in 2023. She also hinted she's leaning on her faith through the transition, adding: 'All things work to those who love God and who are called by His purpose - and so I'm trusting Him to move me into the next season of my life.' Euphoria, which airs on HBO and HBO Max in the US and in the UK on Sky Atlantic and Now, is currently filming its third and final season. A release date is yet to be set. 5 5 5 5
