A real-life soap couple have shared the sweet news that they are engaged. The Home and Away couple revealed the lovely update with a gushing social media post as they showed off the huge engagement ring.
Soap star James Stewart, 50, got down on one knee to propose to his girlfriend of two years and co-star Ada Nicodemou, 48. And much to his delight she said yes.
A clip of the proposal was shared by James on his Instagram as the actor popped the question on Valentine’s Day. He is seen kneeling by a tree wearing a suit and shirt, while his now-fiancee stunned in a red bodycon dress.

Her excitement was clear – as was that of the crowd watching as cheers were heard in the clip as Ada kissed her soon-to-be husband. The happy onlookers then came in to shot as they walked over to congratulate the couple and to admire Ada’s stunning diamond ring.
James then picked his partner up in his arms as the duo shared another passionate kiss. James captioned his upload: “She said yes.” He also included a sparkle emoji.
And followers were keen to send congratulatory messages on the loved-up post. Among those sending messages was co-star Lynne McGranger who gushed: “So so happy for you both darling!! Wishing you both every happiness under heaven!! Hope to catch up soon and check out the rock.”
The official Home and Away page also got involved, writing: “Of course she said yes!! BIG congrats.” And transformation coach Kyly Clarke said: “Omg I’m crying! Worlds biggest congratulations. you beautiful couple.”
“THE BEST,” wrote television presenter Liz Cantor. And another excited fan exclaimed: ““Aww my gosh this is the most epic Home and Away wedding EVER!!! Yesss congratulations.”
James and Ada were first linked in 2024. They were caught kissing on Anzac Day. Ada later confirmed the romance while speaking to Mamamia’s No Filter podcast. “I figured I didn’t need to tell anyone else,” she said after admitting she had kept their pairing under wraps. “We didn’t need a group email, people just worked it out.”
It won’t be James’ first marriage to a co-star. He had previously been married to fellow star Sarah Roberts. However, the couple split as Sarah described their relationship by saying it “wasn’t healthy”.
Explaining dealing with their public breakup, Sarah said last year: “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 too has since moved on in love. Speaking on the Stellar’s Something to Talk About podcast in June, 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.”
