Bec Hewitt’s Former Home and Away Fiancé Beau Brady Goes Public With New Girlfriend After Shady Instagram Post
From On-Screen Heartthrob to Happily Taken Again
In a surprise update that’s turned heads across the entertainment world, Home and Away star Beau Brady — best known for his role as Noah Lawson — has debuted his new girlfriend months after seemingly shading his famous ex, Bec Hewitt.
New Idea can confirm that Beau, 44, is now dating Sydney-based interior designer Sarah Bonett, and the pair appear to have made their relationship Instagram official.
Recent social media snaps show the couple enjoying a family camping trip with Sarah’s three children. One cozy photo captured Beau sitting affectionately on Sarah’s lap beside a glowing campfire, while another post from a romantic getaway to the snow revealed the couple looking blissfully happy.
Who Is Beau’s New Flame?
Sarah Bonett isn’t a stranger to the limelight. Before launching her interior design and decoration business in Balmain, Sydney, she worked as a stylist for several major fashion magazines. Known for her elegant aesthetic and creative flair, Sarah has built a reputation in the design world — and now, she seems to have captured Beau’s heart too.
While it’s not known exactly how the two met, their growing number of joint posts suggest this is no fleeting romance. Friends say Beau has found “a real sense of peace” since meeting Sarah, marking a new chapter after years of public reflection on his past.
A Painful Past With Bec Hewitt
Fans will remember Beau’s high-profile relationship with Home and Away co-star Bec Hewitt (née Cartwright), which mirrored their on-screen romance between Noah and Hayley. The pair dated for four years before splitting in 2004, shortly before Bec began dating tennis champion Lleyton Hewitt, whom she later married.
In a 2010 interview with Woman’s Day, Beau candidly admitted his regrets: “Proposing to Bec was one of the biggest mistakes I ever made. It was just a stupid, young mistake, and if I had my time over, I would never have done it.”
He also confessed that he “never really got closure” from the breakup, even joking, “Maybe it was because I didn’t own a Ferrari.”
From Brady to Shady?
Earlier this year, Beau raised eyebrows when he reposted a meme that fans interpreted as a subtle dig at his famous ex and her husband. The post read:
“If you’re ever feeling sad, remember there’s someone out there dating your ex and thinking they found someone special.”
While Beau didn’t specify who the meme referred to, longtime fans couldn’t help but recall his past remarks about Lleyton. Back in 2010, he even joked, “Let’s face it, I’m a much better-looking dude than Lleyton.”
It’s safe to say the tension from that era has long fueled fan fascination — though Beau now appears ready to move on for good.
A Fresh Start for Beau
Having traded acting for life in the Australian Army Reserve in 2018, Beau has largely stepped out of the Hollywood spotlight in recent years. But with Sarah by his side, insiders say he’s more grounded and content than ever.
“He’s finally found his match,” one close friend revealed. “Sarah’s kind, creative, and family-focused — exactly what Beau’s been looking for.”
From heartbreak to happiness, Beau Brady’s story proves that sometimes the most surprising plot twists happen off-screen.
