Good news: Former Home And Away actor officially goes public with his former co-star after breaking up with his girlfriend
“Home and Away Bombshell: Former Stars Kirsty Marillier and Luke Van Os Go Public with Romance After Secret Breakup”
In a revelation that’s set Summer Bay fans abuzz, former Home and Away actors Kirsty Marillier and Luke Van Os have stunned the public by going official with their relationship — but the real shock? The romance comes hot on the heels of Van Os’ quiet breakup with his longtime girlfriend.
For months, whispers had been circulating behind the scenes of Australia’s most beloved soap, with industry insiders hinting at a developing closeness between the two actors after they wrapped up their roles on the show. Still, nothing could have prepared fans for the surprise double announcement — a breakup and a new romance — all in one go.
The duo, who once played completely separate arcs on Home and Away, managed to keep their budding relationship under wraps for months. But just this past weekend, the pair were spotted hand-in-hand at a Sydney art event, laughing and gazing at each other like characters in a perfectly scripted love scene. A source close to the couple revealed, “They’ve been seeing each other for a while, but they wanted to keep things private until they were sure.”
What’s even more intriguing is how their on-screen paths never crossed directly — yet behind the scenes, their connection clearly bloomed. Fans are now scouring old interviews and social media posts for clues they may have missed, with some claiming the signs were there all along. A shared photo from early this year now feels suspiciously flirtatious in hindsight, with followers commenting things like: “Wait… THIS was the beginning?!”
Luke Van Os — who happens to be Chris Hemsworth’s cousin — was in a long-term relationship before the news broke. The split was never formally announced, making the reveal of his new romance all the more explosive. His ex-girlfriend, a model and influencer with a notable following, has gone silent on social media, fueling speculation about how sudden the breakup really was.
Meanwhile, Kirsty Marillier, known for her strong feminist voice and literary ambitions off-screen, has neither confirmed nor denied the relationship publicly. But her radiant appearance alongside Van Os — and their seemingly effortless chemistry — has all but confirmed what fans have been guessing.
As Home and Away continues to serve drama on-screen, it seems the real-life stories of its cast might be just as compelling. And now, viewers are wondering: could this public outing reignite their acting careers, perhaps even leading to a joint appearance on a new show?
Whether you’re a diehard fan or a curious onlooker, one thing is clear — this love story is just getting started.
And if you think Home and Away was full of plot twists… just wait till you see what happens next.
