Sarah Roberts has announced her divorce from husband James Stewart after five years of marriage.
The actress and DJ, 39, revealed the sad news in an interview with Stellar magazine, which hits newsstands on Sunday.
‘I just want to say that I am divorced,’ she told the publication.
Sometimes people grow apart and that’s okay… I got to a point where I realised I couldn’t grow in the way I wanted to within this particular relationship.’
Roberts and Stewart, 48, married in 2019 after getting engaged in November 2018. Stewart proposed at the restaurant where they’d had their first date a year earlier.
The pair tied the knot at Luttrellstown Castle, on the outskirts of Dublin, in July 2019.
Roberts’ revelation comes after years of speculation the couple had split.
Rumours surfaced after Stewart was absent at the premiere of her film Wog Boys Forever in Melbourne back in October 2022.
As reported by The Daily Telegraph, he was ‘nowhere to be seen on the red carpet’ and was apparently no longer following his wife’s Instagram account.
At the time, Roberts’ agent denied they had broken up.

The pair later put rumours to rest when Roberts proudly flashed her wedding ring at the AACTA Awards in December that year.
Speaking with Now To Love, she also shot down persistent rumours she and James had split.
‘We’re happy,’ she told the publication.
Sarah told the publication Stewart was romantic as ever, even picking her up from the airport with a bouquet of flowers following her trip to Italy.
Roberts starred on Home and Away from 2017 to 2021, before walking away to focus on her film career.
Stewart is still currently starring on the Australian soap, where he plays Justin Morgan.
The actor shares daughter Scout, 11, with his ex-fiancée Jessica Marais, whom he met on the set of Packed to the Rafters in 2009.
They had announced their engagement in October 2010, and welcomed Scout in May 2012.
In 2015, the pair called it quits, with Stewart later saying: ‘Our relationship didn’t work out because I think hearts go in different directions eventually.’
