Ada Nicodemou gave a heartwarming update on her relationship with co-star James Stewart on Saturday, just a few weeks after celebrating their one-year anniversary together.

The Home and Away star, 47, 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.’

Ada shared a tribute to James earlier this month, as she took to Instagram to post a sweet collection of pictures celebrating their one year anniversary at Mimi’s in Sydney.

‘Just perfect,’ Ada captioned the post, which showed the happy couple enjoying a delicious meal of oysters, caviar and bubbles at the iconic eatery.

In the first picture, the happy couple could be seen with giant grins on their faces as they posed with a card congratulating them on their milestone moment.

In the snaps, Ada wore a maroon-coloured, strapless dress with her brunette locks falling over her shoulders.

She accessorised the ensemble with a $5,300 Chanel purse, a $19,300 Cartier Love Bracelet and a Rolex Datejust watch which retails for around $12,189.

James opted for a neutral toned suit and a white button-up shirt.

Ada recently revealed how her Home and Away co-stars discovered her off-screen relationship with James.

The soap opera stars, whose characters are married on the Channel Seven show, 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.

Speaking on Mamamia’s No Filter podcast, the actress revealed 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 explained.

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, Ada finally broke her silence on her romance with James after months of speculation.

She confirmed she was dating her longtime co-star James in a magazine interview, describing their romance as ‘unexpected’.

‘Jimmy and I are together, yes. It’s only early days. It’s very recent and unexpected. I’m super happy. It’s really lovely,’ she told Stellar Magazine.

But she insisted their Home And Away characters Leah Patterson and Justin Morgan 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.
