James Stewart and Sarah Roberts, and Braith Anasta and Rachael Lee believed to be separated

The rumour mill is in overdrive that three high-profile couples are on the rocks, including actors James Stewart and Sarah Roberts, who married in 2019.

Rumours are rife that James Stewart and Sarah Roberts’ relationship is in trouble.

The actors, who tied the knot in 2019, are believed to be separated.

While their agent strongly shut down talk of a split on Friday, Stewart was nowhere to be seen on the red carpet of his wife’s latest film, Wog Boys Forever, on Thursday night.

Her agent said Stewart was expected to attend the Sydney premiere of the movie with her at the end of the month.

Stewart has also stopped following Roberts on Instagram.

While Roberts is still wearing her wedding ring, there has been chatter the

relationship was in trouble for many months, with the pair reportedly undergoing couple’s counselling this year.

Roberts is believed to be heavily involved in Stewart’s daughter Scout’s life, with the 37-year-old actor often referring to her as “my daughter”. Stewart shares custody of Scout with
ex-partner and fellow actor Jessica Marais.

Stewart and Roberts’ rumoured break-up comes after unrelated news that former NRL player Braith Anasta and his fiancee Rachael Lee are taking some time out from their six-year relationship.

While the pair admitted they “are going through a tough period”, Anasta dismissed rumours they had split, saying they were “trying to work through this for us, and more importantly for our beautiful family and our amazing children”.

Braith Anasta and Rachael Lee ‘are going through a tough period’.

Saturday Confidential believes the couple have been trying to sort through things for quite a few months and have been living apart.

They put on a united front last month, still meeting commitments to attend the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation’s annual Melanoma High Tea.

The popular couple started dating in 2016 and had daughter, Gigi, in 2018.

Anasta has eight-year-old daughter Aleeia with ex-wife Jodi Gordon, whom he broke up with in 2015.

Lee has Addison, 11, also from a previous relationship.

In other break-up news, entertainment company Omnilab’s chairman Chris Mapp and partner of two years Chloe Streetley have called it quits on their relationship.
