Home and Away star Sarah Roberts announces shock split from husband James Stewart
Sarah Roberts has announced her divorce from husband James Stewart after five years of marriage.
The actress and DJ, 39, revealed the sad news in an interview with Stellar magazine, which hits newsstands on Sunday.
‘I just want to say that I am divorced,’ she told the publication.
‘Sometimes people grow apart and that’s okay… I got to a point where I realised I couldn’t grow in the way I wanted to within this particular relationship.’
Roberts and Stewart, 48, married in 2019 after getting engaged in November 2018. Stewart proposed at the restaurant where they’d had their first date a year earlier.

Roberts’ revelation comes after years of speculation the couple had split.
Rumours surfaced after Stewart was absent at the premiere of her film Wog Boys Forever in Melbourne back in October 2022.

At the time, Roberts’ agent denied they had broken up.
