Ada Nicodemou has shared the sweet details of the day James Stewart got down on one knee to ask for her hand in marriage.
The Home and Away co-stars were engaged on Valentine’s Day and the 48-year-old says that she was ‘very surprised’ to find James, 50, kneeling before her.
‘I knew it was coming, but didn’t know when,’ Ada told Perth Now.
‘We were already going to dinner for Valentine’s Day and Jimmy suggested that we should go for a little walk first, to our favourite spot and have a kiss – and that’s where he surprised me by going down on one knee.
‘It was very special.’
Ada was reluctant to share the couple’s wedding plans, but indicated they were looking at venues.

The actress says that working with her future husband has been a source of joy for both of them.
‘I am also very lucky that I go home to my scene partner, so we can talk out anything we need to talk out as well, do our lines,’ she told the publication.
‘But we can also forget about it all, and just be with each other. It’s good.’
The couple announced their engagement in February, after almost two years of dating.
James, 50, shared a precious clip to social media capturing the heartfelt moment he got down on one knee and proposed to Ada in public.
The actor absolutely beamed in the sweet footage as he was seen sharing a heartfelt vow to Ada, who joyfully accepted the proposal by leaning in and giving her partner a huge kiss.
Moments after Ada accepted, their friends and family were seen in the background cheering on the exciting news.
Ada and James then shared a beaming photo for the camera in which she flaunted her eye-popping diamond engagement ring.

In July 2024, Ada finally broke her silence on her romance with James after months of speculation.
The lovebirds were first linked earlier that year when they were seen sharing a kiss on Anzac Day.
Ada confirmed she was dating her long-time co-star in a magazine interview, describing their romance as ‘unexpected’.
‘Jimmy and I are together, yes. It’s only early days. It’s very recent and unexpected. I’m super happy. It’s really lovely,’ she told Stellar Magazine.
But she insisted their Home and Away characters, Leah Patterson and Justin Morgan, getting married on-screen was not a sign of their real-life romance.
The couple began dating after Ada split from her ex-partner, Adam Rigby, just before Christmas last year.
James finalised his divorce from Sarah Roberts in March 2024.
