Sarah Roberts spills on 'secret love affair'

Sarah Roberts has finally spoken out about her relationship with her Home & Away co-star James Stewart, revealing they had a 'secret love affair' for several months before going public.

The pair started dating in August last year, only confirming their romance in recent weeks when James Stewart, 42, shared an adorable snap of them together captioned with a love heart emoji.

Now the Summer Bay babe has spoken out on their romance, admitting they wanted to keep it under wraps for a while to be 'respectful' of everyone involved, including James' ex Jessica Marais and their five-year-old daughter Scout.

"We just wanted to be respectful of everyone and stay under the radar," she told TV Week, adding that keeping things private meant it 'kept things special between us.'

While their romance is still pretty fresh, Melbourne girl Sarah wasn't afraid to declare she'd 'found love.'

"We became friends and things just evolved. He's very funny, charming, kind and generous — plus he's handsome!"

Their connection has meant their scenes are effortless to film, with Sarah declaring she doesn't 'even need to act'.

Last month James opened up about his struggles co-parenting, admitting 'it kills me'.

These two sure are smitten and the fact James has 'abs for days' is happy bonus.
