Home and Away real-life couple confirm shock marriage split after five years

Home and Away fans have been rendered devastated with the news that real-life couple, Sarah Roberts and James Stewart, have filed for divorce after five years of marriage.

Home and Away icons, Sarah Roberts and James Stewart, have tragically called an end to their marriage, five years after tying the not.

The popular actress who portrays Willow Harrow in the hit Australian TV show gave an exclusive interview to Stellar Magazine in which she opened up about the difficult decision.

She explained: "I just want to say that I am divorced. 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."

The 39-year-old's whirlwind romance with her 48-year-old ex, started back in 2017, with the pair falling deeply in love, before making the decision to spend the rest of their lives together, marrying in a private wedding in Dublin, Ireland.

The last few years have been extremely difficult for the esteemed actress, who tragically lost her brother in 2019, following a fight with brain cancer.

Following the horrific loss, Sarah bravely took to Instagram to deliver a heartwrenching tribute to her beloved sibling, with a plethora of photos of her wedding day.

She said: "Three months ago today, he walked me down the aisle & now he is walking with the angels,’ she penned. I’m left with a hole in my heart & 34 years of beautiful memories… growing up together as children into adults."

She continued: "You fought THE BRAVEST battle, Big Squirt, to the very end, and I promise to always live by your standards; to remember what you taught me, 'it’s all about the journey, not the destination' & 'have no regrets'.

"I love you, I cherish you, I salute you. You can rest now; we know you’re dancing up there in the heavens, always watching down on us. Forever, all my love, Medium Squirt x @karldeabrew."
