Sarah Roberts, formerly wed to fellow actor James Stewart, has been observed publicly with Jake Iesu, a cinematographer. This pairing marks Roberts' first prominent romantic involvement since her separation from Stewart, an event that has itself been subject to public commentary, with Stewart reportedly now in a relationship with co-star Ada Nicodemou.
Roberts and Iesu have been seen together at various public events, including an art show in Sydney on June 13, 2025, and the Sydney Film Festival. More recently, in December 2025, the couple celebrated Roberts' birthday with a beach outing where they were photographed engaging in public displays of affection.
Roberts has spoken about her journey post-divorce, detailing a period of self-reflection and a shift towards what she describes as "self-love." She noted an initial reticence to discuss her new relationship, attributing it to a fear of speaking out and a perceived stigma surrounding separations.

The actress, known for her role in 'Home and Away', has alluded to a sense of peace in her current life, crediting Iesu with facilitating personal growth. This new relationship follows her divorce from Stewart, a period she characterized as "shattering" and one where she felt compelled to remain silent due to societal perceptions of divorce.
Roberts has also indicated a potential career pivot, expressing interest in roles beyond soap operas, potentially targeting productions like those by HBO, and is currently involved in the Stan Original series 'Scrublands'. Her public engagements with Iesu suggest a move toward embracing her present circumstances openly.
