James Stewart's ex-wife seen out with new man
Former Home and Away star Sarah Roberts appears to have moved on from ex-husband James Stewart after being spotted in Sydney clutching the hand of a new flame.
The former soap star is reportedly dating Sydney cinematographer Jake Iesu, who describes himself as an 'Australian based Steadicam operator and occasional pilot' on social media.

'I've been really afraid of talking about this because of what I've felt to be the stigma and shame around it,' she told the publication.
'But I just want to say that I'm divorced.'
The 40-year-old admitted the pair had become less connected over time.
'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 okay.'
The former couple met in 2017 when Roberts was introduced as Willow Harris on Home and Away.
They became engaged a year later, and married in 2019 in a lavish Irish wedding at Luttrellstown Castle on the outskirts of Dublin.

In a recent interview with Stellar's podcast Something To Talks About, she admitted to being 'so in love' in her new relationship.
'I love two people now: I've finally found a love for myself, which I know now in retrospect I didn't have for so long,' she said.
'I am still finding myself, but I have beaten myself up for a long time because I stayed in something that wasn't healthy. But now I have found this love for myself – and also fallen in love with a man. I'm so in love.'
Roberts said having her relationship breakdown play out in the public eye made an already difficult situation much trickier to navigate.
'I imagine dealing with a divorce is hard enough,' she said.
'Dealing with it all in the spotlight – and then everything that came out in the media after – absolutely ripped my heart in a million little pieces.'
While enjoying a career as a DJ when not acting, Roberts' latest role sees her appear in the documentary Make It Look Real which dissects the job of intimacy coordinators on TV and film sets.
Stewart has famously moved on with long-time co-star and show veteran Ada Nicodemou, announcing their relationship in July 2024 after months of dating.
He also shares daughter Scout with former actress Jessica Marais, whom he met on the set of Packed to the Rafters in 2009.

'She's very much the model of resilience and continuity within the Royal Family,' Ms Roberts told Sky News Digital Presenter Gabriella Power. 'She's very much now moving into that space with her husband, of course, next in line to be King.'

Influencer ‘almost died' undergoing Brazilian butt lift
A popular OnlyFans creator has detailed her terrifying experience after a Brazilian butt lift procedure in Turkey left her 'vomiting blood'. Kayla Jade, an Australian influencer with 2.2 million TikTok followers, said she had always struggled with body image issues and heard people can undergo cheaper cosmetic surgery in Turkey. 'I didn't have a lot of money at the time, and I had heard so many people were going to get surgeries in Turkey – and that they were really good at what they did,' she said. The mother-of-two detailed her experience to her TikTok followers earlier this month, telling them she 'almost died' from the procedure. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

A Brazillian butt lift, also known as a BBL, is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing fat from a person's hips or abdomen and injecting it back into a person's butt, giving a curvier appearance. Kayla Jade told her followers she was awake throughout the surgery and recalled 'feeling everything' while lying 'paralysed' on the operating table. 'There was nothing I could do. I was just lying there in my head screaming, but I could just feel all the stuff that was happening,' she said. Following the procedure, she began vomiting blood and experienced immense pain. OnlyFans star Kayla Jade said her Turkey surgery experience was a 'crazy situation'. Credit: Instagram / TheWest The post-op care was equally horrifying, with Kayla claiming that she was placed on her back immediately following the procedure and was asked to vacate the hospital bed while still in and out of consciousness. Brazilian butt lift patients are advised to lie on their stomach for at least six weeks post-op to allow the area to heal. She underwent a revision surgery back in Australia a year later as she wasn't happy with the results. 'They'd literally taken chunks out of my back, so the Australian doctor went and smoothed everything over.' Kayla posted her experience to spread awareness of the dangers of overseas cosmetic procedures. 'Please don't cheapen out like what I did and end up in some crazy situation,' she warned followers.
