Expressing pride in her new hubby's work, the former Home and Away star could be seen sharing a passionate kiss with her hunky man, who gladly returned the favour.
Sarah, 40, kept her look casual for the outing, flaunting her slim pins in a pair of black jeans which she paired with a black T-shirt.

The actress kept her wavy dark tresses down for the showing, highlighting her natural beauty with a very minimal makeup look.
Meanwhile, Jake kept the same outfit throughout the day, slipping into a white T-shirt with black jeans and a navy jacket.
Sarah and Jake were first spotted hand-in-hand while out in Sydney on Mother's Day.
It marked the first time she had been seen publicly with a partner since her divorce from former co-star James Stewart in 2023.
The pair appeared smitten as they strolled the streets, grabbed food, and packed on the PDA while window shopping.
It's a new chapter for the actor and DJ, who admitted in a raw interview with Stellar magazine last year her marriage breakdown had left her emotionally shattered.
'I've been really afraid of talking about this because of what I've felt to be the stigma and shame around it. But I just want to say that I am divorced,' she said in April 2024.
Sarah and James met on the Home and Away set in 2017, quickly falling in love before tying the knot in a fairy-tale wedding in Ireland in 2019.

But behind closed doors, cracks had already started to appear.
'I'll never speak on anyone else's behalf, but my belief in marriage is that two people grow and learn from each other together,' she said.
'Sometimes people just grow apart, and that's OK.'
While James has since moved on with his Home and Away co-star Ada Nicodemou, Sarah is now carving out a path of her own.
According to New Idea, Jake works as a Steadicam operator and 'occasional pilot', and recently showcased his work at an exhibition titled A Piece of Art in Crows Nest.
Although the couple have yet to post any photos together, sources say they've quietly been attending events around Sydney - including the Sydney Film Festival.
Speaking about her new romance, Sarah recently said: 'I feel grateful that I found him, because he's allowed me to grow in beautiful and unexpected ways.
'But if I didn't have that, I would still be OK. Because I finally found myself, as cliché as that may sound.'

Sarah added she's no longer afraid to speak her truth.
'I have beaten myself up for a long time over the fact that I stayed in something that wasn't healthy,' she said.
'But I've finally found a love for myself that I didn't have – and that's the most important relationship of all.'
Sarah rose to fame playing the character of Willow on Home and Away from 2017 to 2021.

Nicole Kidman's naturally curly hair is praised by Reese Witherspoon as she's seen with her mini-me daughters
showed off her naturally curly hair in an Instagram post about her 'summer memories' that was shared on Tuesday. And the thespian's followers were quick to compliment her non-styled mane. Her Big Little Lies costar Reese Witherspoon wrote in the comments section: 'Look at all that gorgeous hair!' Kidman's A Family Affair costar Joey King also remarked on the Australian siren's wild locks: 'Look at those waves so beautiful.' Other fans were quick to notice her free locks that were not straightened: 'THE WAVY HAIR OMG YESSSS,' said a fan while another chimed in, 'Love your hair natural.' There were also some very rare photos with her mini-me daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, whom she shares with husband Keith Urban. The Hours veteran also has two adopted children with her ex-husband Tom Cruise, Connor and Isabella, but she has not been seen with them in a while. 'Summer memories ❤️ Now back to school ✨,' wrote the Nashville resident. Also in the photo mix was Nicole's younger sister Antonia, 55, who is a journalist and television presenter. The leggy red carpet fixture was also busy filming the sequel to her movie Practical Magic with co-star Sandra Bullock over the hot months but she did not share images from the set. This comes after Kidman's daughter said she thinks it is 'wonderful' when people don't know who her famous parents are. Sunday Rose shared that is grateful she can usually connect with others her own age without them knowing her background so they can get to know her for who she is, rather than have any preconceptions. She told Nylon magazine: 'When people my age meet me, they normally don't know anything about my life, which is sort of wonderful because I am able to make a first impression based on who I am and not who my family is.' Sunday Rose - who made her runway debut for Miu Miu's last October - is 'really glad' her parents put rules in place about her modelling career as she was growing up. She explained: 'There are two big rules. The first was that I couldn't explore any kind of fashion work until I was 16, and the second is that school always has to come first, which at first I hated, but I am actually really glad that I have these rules in place because it keeps me in a good mindset.' And the aspiring filmmaker is also grateful for her upbringing in Nashville because she knows there will always be time for her to experience life in a big city as she gets older. There was a shot of the kids in the water as well She reflected: 'The city has changed so much over the years, but it's been nice to grow up in more of a small town than a big city. 'I will have time to experience that in life, whether it's during college or later, so I like that I've gotten to grow up in a city that has a bit of a slower pace. 'It also makes it really exciting to travel for work to places like Paris or New York.' Sunday Rose's interest in fashion came from going to work with Big Little Lies star Nicole when she was younger. She said: 'Growing up, I went to my mom's photo shoots a lot and got to observe, which definitely led to my interest in exploring the modeling world.' As well as being able to seek advice about life in the spotlight from her parents, the teenager has also been guided by Cara Delevingne. She said: 'I actually got the opportunity to sit and talk with Cara Delevingne the night before the [Miu Miu] show — we have a mutual friend. 'I got to ask her questions and talk to her about her experience as a model. 'It was nice to get to know her as I've looked up to her for a long time, but even better was that then the next day at the show, I had a familiar face who could show me the ropes.'

Did Taylor Swift get Jessica Hart dropped from Victoria's Secret? Wild fan theory resurfaces
She was once the breakout Aussie star of the Victoria's Secret runway - but some fans are still convinced Jessica Hart's career took a nosedive after allegedly falling out with Taylor Swift. Wild theories are again circulating that the 39-year-old model was blacklisted from the prestigious Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2014 after reportedly criticising the Shake It Off singer. The resurfaced drama has sent social media into a frenzy this week after screenshots of comments on Instagram reignited speculation. 'Or the show organisers just blacklisted her for publicly talking down their show?' one user wrote, while another claimed, 'Actually, it's a rule in VS. Like, if a model talks bad or doesn't interact with the artist on the stage, they get banned.' Others weighed in with more pointed takes, calling the decision to remove Hart 'totalitarian.' 'You don't diss someone your employer hired to perform, no matter who it is. That's common sense,' said one user, while another questioned the ethics of such punishment: 'This is what happens in totalitarian regimes, are you aware of that?' The bizarre rift between the Aussie beauty and American pop powerhouse began in 2013, after Hart was asked to comment on Swift's debut VS performance. While she tried to remain diplomatic, Jessica's words seemingly ruffled feathers. 'I think she's great… But, I don't know, to me, she didn't fit,' she said at the time. By 2014, Taylor was invited to return as a performer, while Hart was noticeably absent from the runway. According to a source quoted by the NY Daily News at the time: 'It's not been announced that Jessica is not walking, but it was a direct request from Taylor that this be the case if she were to go.' Taylor's return to the show that year saw her perform in front of millions alongside close friend and fellow model Karlie Kloss - while Hart was quietly absent. The years that followed saw no signs of reconciliation between the two stars. In 2018, Jessica reignited the feud by posing in a cheeky pink jumper that read: 'Four letter bad word, Taylor Swift.' Fans instantly recognised the dig, with some lashing out at the Sports Illustrated beauty online. 'This is why YOU can't have nice things…' one Swiftie fired back, while others flooded her post with snake emojis. But not everyone sided with the pop queen. Hart's supporters defended her right to speak out, especially given how her career appeared to plummet in the years following the controversy. Hart, who was once a household name known for her signature gap-toothed smile, quietly retreated from the limelight and the VS runway altogether following the drama. Now a mother-of-two and founder of her beauty brand, LUMABeauty, Jess seems unbothered by the past. As for Taylor? The 14-time Grammy winner is currently dominating global charts after wrapping her record-breaking Eras Tour and has long remained tight-lipped about the alleged feud.

Australian PM Anthony Albanese channels his inner Gen Z: ‘Delulu with no solulu'
Resurfaced footage shows Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese channelling his inner Gen Z by using a popular slang word that has just been added to the Cambridge Dictionary in parliament. Appearing on the Happy Hour with Lucy and Nikki Podcast in March 2025, Mr Albanese was dared by the hosts to use the phrase 'delulu' in parliament, which he followed through with soon after. He told the speaker that the Coalition were 'delulu with no solulu' when discussing his rivals' energy and economic plan, which resulted in a mix of laughs and cheers from the chamber. On Monday (18 August), 'delulu', a play on the word delusion, was added to the Cambridge Dictionary, as part of a massive update which has seen approximately 6,000 new words added.
