Home and Away stars James Stewart and his partner Ada Nicodemou share sweet tribute to his daughter on her milestone birthday

 Home and Away star James Stewart celebrated a special milestone over the weekend, taking to social media to wish his daughter Scout a happy 13th birthday.

The Melbourne-born actor, 49, shared a sweet father-daughter snap on Saturday of him happily posing alongside Scout and captioned it with some heartfelt words.

'Happy 13th birthday bubba... and just like that she’s a teenager!' James wrote, adding a red heart and birthday cake emoji.

James' Channel Seven co-star and girlfriend Ada Nicodemou, 47, joined the chorus, writing: 'Happy birthday gorgeous girl.'

Meanwhile, veteran actress Georgie Parker added: 'Happy birthday Scout.' 

James shares his daughter with his actress ex-fiancée Jessica Marais, who he separated from in 2015.

Ada gushed over the couple's recent romantic connection, which blossomed after 25 years of friendship, in a recent issue of Stellar magazine.

Revealing she is usually very private about their intimate life together, the actress said she couldn't help but post about their recent relationship milestone because she and James have had such a great time together recently.

'It's been a really lovely year together,' she told the publication when asked about her rare social media post about the pair.

'I don't like to post a lot of stuff about us online but, at the same time, I'm really proud of the last year we've had and wanted to share that.'

The actress paid another tribute to James recently, taking to Instagram to post a sweet collection of pictures celebrating their one year anniversary at Mimi's in Sydney. 

'Just perfect,' she captioned the post, which showed the happy couple enjoying a delicious meal of oysters, caviar and bubbles at the iconic eatery. 

The soap opera stars were first linked at the beginning of 2024, when they were seen sharing a kiss on Anzac Day before Ada confirmed their romance in an interview.

Ada recently revealed how her Home and Away co-stars discovered her off-screen relationship with James.

Speaking on Mamamia's No Filter podcast, she explained she had only told a small group of people she was 'close with' on set before 'word got around' about the couple's off-screen romance.

'I figured I didn't need to tell anyone else. We didn't need a group email, people just worked it out,' she said.

Elsewhere in the interview, Ada admitted growing feelings for her television co-star James was 'weird' at first.

'Jimmy and I have known each other for years and there were no feelings for a really long time. So I was shocked when I started having feelings,' she said.  

'There was this chemistry for the first time—this spark that happened that wasn't there before. It was weird.'

In July last year, Ada finally broke her silence on her romance with James after months of speculation.

But she insisted their Home And Away characters getting married on-screen was not an early sign of their real-life romance.

The couple began dating after Ada split from her ex-partner Adam Rigby just before Christmas in 2023 and James finalised his divorce from Sarah Roberts in March 2024.
