In news that has sent shockwaves through the Home and Away fan community, two of the show’s most beloved former stars have officially confirmed they’re a couple in real life — and fans can’t get enough of it.

After months of speculation, secret sightings, and social media whispers, Ava Lucas and Liam Parker (known to viewers as Summer Bay favourites Sienna Blake and Nate Morgan) have finally gone public with their romance, confirming what many fans had long suspected — the chemistry we saw on screen wasn’t acting after all.

The stunning reveal came late last night when the pair shared matching Instagram posts showing them hand-in-hand on a Sydney beach at sunset, captioned simply: “Found my person 🌅.” Within minutes, the post racked up tens of thousands of likes, with fans and fellow castmates flooding the comments with love and disbelief.

For loyal viewers, this romance is a dream come true. Ava and Liam first met while filming Home and Away in 2022, where their characters’ storyline — a forbidden love between a young art teacher and a paramedic haunted by tragedy — quickly became a fan favourite. Their onscreen connection was electric, sparking endless rumours about whether the chemistry extended beyond the cameras.

At the time, both actors remained tight-lipped. Ava, 26, dismissed the chatter as “just good acting,” while Liam, 30, insisted they were “just mates.” But behind the scenes, sources close to the show say their friendship quietly blossomed into something more after they both left the soap last year.

“They’ve always had a really special bond,” one insider tells TV Buzz. “They supported each other through some really tough moments on set and stayed in touch after leaving the show. It was only a matter of time before it turned romantic.”

Adding to the intrigue, fans recently noticed the couple had been appearing in each other’s social media stories more often — from coffee runs to weekend getaways — fueling intense speculation that something was going on.

Now, it’s official — and both stars couldn’t be happier. In an exclusive quote shared with The Daily Bay, Ava revealed, “We wanted to keep things private at first, but we’re really proud of what we have. It’s nice to finally share it with everyone.”

Liam echoed her sentiment, adding, “We met doing something we both love, and it brought us together in ways we didn’t expect. It feels amazing to finally be open about it.”

Fans are already dubbing them Home and Away’s new power couple, and with talk of joint red carpet appearances and potential acting projects on the horizon, it looks like this is only the beginning of their love story.

As one fan perfectly summed it up on Twitter: “They gave us sparks on screen — now they’re giving us fireworks in real life!”

Love has truly found its way from Summer Bay to the real world.
