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 with a new man following her 'unhealthy' marriage to soap co-star James Stewart 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."

'American Idol' Star John Foster Calls Out "Misinformation" Amid Online Rumors
As American Idol season 23 dwindles down to the final episodes, fans love seeing country singer John Foster deliver epic performances every week. But it looks like he needs to clear up some information for his voters— and he's taking to social media to give the unexpected update. On April 30, the Top 8 contender took to his official Facebook page to address some information he noticed was spreading about him on the internet. Amid rumors that he may be older than he claimed to be and that he may be potentially already be signed to a record label, John felt the need to give fans some important notes about the situation. "For the sake of all of my family (followers) getting to know me better, I'd like to clear up some misinformation that has been spreading on Facebook," he wrote in the post. "1. I am 18 years old (not 24). 2. I was born and raised in Louisiana. My hometown is Addis, LA. I'm not from Benton, Kentucky (I've never even been to Kentucky, but I hope to visit someday). 3. I'm not related to Dwight Yoakam, nor am I currently signed under any record label (there was some misinformation that Dwight Yoakam signed me under Sugar Hill Records)." "If you see something about me that's not from my page (with the blue checkmark), there's a chance that it may not be true! I hope this helps y'all to know me better as a person now that y'all know more about my music," he added. "If you have any questions about me, try commenting them under this post. Either I or someone who knows me well will likely answer you! God Bless!" When fans saw John giving them a heads up about what pieces of information to keep in mind about his past, they rushed to the comments to share their support. "We love you, our Louisiana guy!! Keep chasing your dreams. All of them …music and college. You are a precious young man. Love watching you and listening to your performances. You go John!" one person wrote. "I am pulling for you and you are so talented," another declared. "You are a breath of fresh air! You are talented, humble and kind. I'm a big fan!" a different viewer added. As American Idol fans know, John originally made an impression on judges , Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie after Carrie asked him to switch the song he originally chose for his audition. He eventually went with playing an acoustic version of "Goodbye Time" by Conway Twitty, leading him on a journey that has him vying for the chance to make it all the way to the finale. What's more, John has been mixing things up in the song department every time he hits the TV stage. In fact, on the May 4 episode, he covered Bonnie Raitt with a honky tonk version of her song "Something to Talk About" for Iconic Women of Music Night on the show. Needless to say, if we want to know anything about John, looks like all we need to do is ask him ourselves!
