“But that’s OK – we see each other all the time.”
The comments fuelled break-up rumours among fans however the recent Instagram post has quashed any speculation the pair were no longer together.
The pair confirmed their relationship in July last year after both splitting from their long-term partners.
Nicodemou and her ex Adam Rigby quietly split in 2023, after eight years together.

“We respect each other,” she told Sunrise.
“Obviously we have a lot of scenes together, we always have had a lot of scenes together, but they’re very separate things. Us being together and us working together.”
Nicodemou said Stewart was an “an amazing actor” and that she loved working with him.
“That’s not changed as well. So, whether it’s out there or not (made public), it doesn’t change anything for us.”
