The love story between Sarah Horton and Xander Cook has always been one of the most turbulent romances in Days of Our Lives history —

full of passion, betrayal, heartbreak, and redemption. Fans have spent years watching them fall in and out of love, hoping that someday,

these two would finally find peace together. But according to the latest Days of Our Lives spoilers for November 2025, that dream may officially be over.

 

 

After countless second chances and emotional goodbyes, Sarah and Xander’s story has reached its end. Both have moved on — Xander with a mysterious new woman who’s already raising eyebrows in Salem, and Sarah with a surprising new man who might just give her the stability she’s always wanted. But of course, in Salem, new love always comes with old drama.

The End of “Xarah”: A Love Torn Apart for Good

 

 

Longtime fans remember how deeply Sarah and Xander once loved each other — despite his dark past, Xander truly adored her, and Sarah brought out the rare, tender side of him that few had ever seen. They shared a child, fought countless battles, and even tried to build a family after endless misunderstandings.

 

 

But every time they seemed close to happiness, betrayal and secrets tore them apart again. From baby-switch scandals to lies about paternity, Sarah and Xander’s story has been nothing short of a rollercoaster.

Now, new spoilers reveal that the pair have finally accepted that they can’t go back. Their lives have changed too much — and both are ready to move on.

“They’ve reached a point where love isn’t enough anymore,” one insider teased. “There’s too much pain between them. And now, someone new is stepping into both their lives.”

Xander’s New Flame — A Dangerous Woman with Secrets

In upcoming episodes, Xander will reportedly meet a new woman who immediately catches his attention — not just because of her beauty, but because she reminds him of himself. Mysterious, daring, and a bit of a rule-breaker, she’s someone who challenges him in ways Sarah never did.

Sources hint that the woman’s name is Elena Marquez, a newcomer to Salem with ties to the corporate world — and possibly, the DiMeras. She arrives in town claiming to be looking for business opportunities, but her connection to Xander seems far more personal than professional.

“She sees through Xander’s rough exterior,” an insider reveals. “And unlike Sarah, she doesn’t try to change him — she embraces his darker side.”

But fans know better than to trust a Days newcomer. Elena’s motives are unclear, and whispers around Salem suggest she may have a hidden agenda — possibly even tied to one of Xander’s old crimes.

Still, Xander appears drawn to her, perhaps because she represents a clean break from the past. For the first time in months, he’s smiling again — but the question remains: is this true love, or another setup that will destroy him?

Sarah Finds Comfort in a Familiar Face

Meanwhile, Sarah Horton is slowly rebuilding her life after heartbreak. Determined to focus on her medical career and her daughter, she’s tried to stay far away from Xander’s chaos. But just when she starts to feel like herself again, an unexpected romance begins to bloom.

Sarah’s new love interest? None other than Dr. Alex Grant, a charming physician recently returned to Salem. Alex, known for his kind heart and quiet strength, couldn’t be more different from Xander — and that’s exactly what Sarah needs.

“Alex listens to her. He doesn’t play games. He’s steady, compassionate, and he respects her boundaries,” says one insider. “For the first time in years, Sarah feels safe.”

The two reportedly grow closer after working together on a hospital case, and before long, sparks start to fly. Their connection feels genuine and grounded, a sharp contrast to Sarah’s volatile relationship with Xander.

Still, deep down, Sarah can’t shake the memories of her past love — even as she tries to move on.

Old Feelings, New Conflicts

Even though Sarah and Xander are both moving on, Salem isn’t big enough for them to avoid each other forever. Tensions rise when they run into one another at the Salem Inn — Xander with Elena on his arm, Sarah with Alex by her side.

The moment is charged, emotional, and painfully awkward.

“So,” Xander smirks, “you’ve moved on then.”
“Looks that way,” Sarah replies coolly. “Guess we both have.”

But behind their brave faces, both are clearly shaken. The chemistry between them still lingers, no matter how hard they try to deny it.

Friends around town — including Maggie and Chloe — notice the tension and start to worry that these new relationships might reopen old wounds. Maggie, in particular, warns Xander not to rush into something just to fill the void Sarah left behind.
