Ada Nicodemou stocks up on makeup and beauty products during solo shopping trip after photos surface of Home And Away star kissing new lover and co-star James Stewart

Ada Nicodemou has been spotted for the first time since photos emerged of the actress kissing co-star James Stewart, confirming their secret romance.

The Home And Away star, 46, whose divorce from partner of eight years Adam Rigby became public last week, was spotted enjoying a day to herself on Wednesday as she went shopping in Sydney’s Westfield.

The mother-of-one looked chic in a denim midi dress and black leather sneakers as she splurged on make-up and skincare products.

She completed her look with gold chains, a matching watch and a Louis Vuitton crossbody handbag worth approximately $4,100.

For makeup, the soap star enhanced her age features with dewy foundation, blush, mascara and a touch of taupe lipstick.

Earlier in the day, Ada was seen parking her car outside the mall and climbing out of the driver’s seat while talking on the phone.

She made a series of animated expressions as she talked before closing the door and walking inside.

It is the first time Ada has been sighted since then New Idea Magazine published photos of the brunette kissing her on-screen lover James Stewart – standing outside a Sydney pub on April 25.

On April 7, Ada and James were also spotted enjoying a day out at Luna Park with their respective children.

Rumors of James and Ada’s romance first emerged this weekend after sources close to the pair said their on-screen chemistry had blossomed into a real-life connection.

However, the romance only began after Jame’s divorce from Sarah.

Ada previously dated Sydney businessman Adam Rigby for eight years, but the couple reportedly split in late 2022.

Despite the divorce, insiders close to the former couple have revealed that the pair share no bad blood and are on good terms.
