Sarah Roberts, the 41-year-old former Home and Away star, shared intimate photos of a heartfelt farewell with her boyfriend, Australian cinematographer Jake Lesu, in Canada’s wilderness. The images capture their quality time before his upcoming work assignment abroad lasting several months.
Romantic Moments in the Mountains
One touching photo shows Jake cradling Sarah while kissing her cheek against a scenic mountainside creek. Another captures Sarah kissing his face as they pose happily by a ski lift in the Vancouver mountains.
She captioned the gallery with emotional words: “Can we just float here for a while longer please? So lucky to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. So proud of my human. The Canadian film industry are so lucky to have your hands on their tools. I’m gonna miss them on me but will take one for the team to see you soar! #untilAugust.”
New Romance After Divorce
Sarah and Jake, a veteran cameraman known for work on major films like Mad Max: Fury Road and Thor: Love and Thunder, went public with their relationship in June last year. They first appeared together hand-in-hand in Sydney, marking Sarah’s initial public outing with a partner since her 2023 divorce from Home and Away co-star James Stewart.
The couple looked smitten while strolling streets, dining out, and sharing affectionate moments during window shopping.
Reflecting on Past Marriage
Sarah and James met on the Home and Away set in 2017, fell in love, and married in a picturesque ceremony in Ireland in 2019. However, their relationship faced challenges.
In a candid interview, Sarah opened up about the emotional toll: “I’ve been really afraid of talking about this because of what I’ve felt to be the stigma and shame around it. But I just want to say that I am divorced.”
She added, “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. Sometimes people just grow apart, and that’s OK.”
Current Paths Forward
James has begun a relationship with Home and Away co-star Ada Nicodemou. Meanwhile, Sarah embraces her new chapter with Jake, a Steadicam operator, occasional pilot, and artist who recently exhibited at “A Piece of Art” in Crows Nest.
Sarah shared her feelings: “I feel grateful that I found him, because he’s allowed me to grow in beautiful and unexpected ways. But if I didn’t have that, I would still be OK. Because I finally found myself, as clichéd as that may sound.”
The actress, famous for portraying Willow on Home and Away from 2017 to 2021, maintains strong ties with former co-stars and eyes opportunities in Hollywood.
