Double the Blessing: Former Home and Away Star Announces Second Set of Twins

In a heartwarming update that has delighted fans of the long-running Australian soap Home and Away, former series regular and fan-favorite actress, Sarah Roberts, has shared the extraordinary news that she is expecting twins for the second time. The announcement comes as a joyous surprise to her followers, marking a remarkable new chapter in her life following a period of significant personal transition.

The actress, best known for her role as Willow Harris in Summer Bay, took to social media and spoke with entertainment outlets to reveal the news. Roberts described the discovery as “utterly surreal” and “a miracle.” While having one set of twins is often considered a rare blessing, conceiving a second set is an even more unusual occurrence, leading to an outpouring of support and amazement from the Australian entertainment community.

“I can’t quite believe I’m saying this again, but we are doubling up!” Roberts shared in an emotional post accompanied by a sonogram. “Life has a funny way of surprising you when you least expect it. To be blessed with twins once was a dream, but to go through this journey a second time is something I never could have imagined.”

This happy news serves as a bright spot for Roberts, who recently made headlines regarding her personal life. Earlier this year, she confirmed her divorce from former co-star James Stewart (who plays Justin Morgan). The pair had met on the set of Home and Away and married in a fairytale ceremony in Ireland in 2019. Despite the end of their marriage, Roberts has remained steadfastly positive, focusing on her career as an actress and playwright, and her most important role: motherhood.

Fans of Home and Away will remember Roberts’ character, Willow Harris, for her fiery personality and her deep-seated loyalty to the residents of Summer Bay. Since leaving the show in 2021, Roberts has transitioned into film and stage work, but she has always maintained a close bond with the “Summer Bay family.” Within minutes of her announcement, several current and former co-stars—including Georgie Parker, Ada Nicodemou, and Penny McNamee—flooded her comments with messages of love and congratulations.

The actress has been open in the past about the challenges and rewards of parenting, noting that while the prospect of four young children under one roof is “daunting,” she feels more prepared this time around. “The first time was a whirlwind of learning and sleepless nights,” she remarked. “This time, I’m walking into it with my eyes wide open and a lot more gratitude for the chaos that comes with it.”

As she prepares for the arrival of her new additions, Roberts plans to take a brief hiatus from her upcoming projects to focus on her health and family. With her recent play DESTINY garnering critical acclaim and new film roles on the horizon, the star continues to prove that she can balance a high-profile career with the demands of a growing family. For now, the Summer Bay community and fans worldwide are celebrating this incredible “double” miracle alongside her.
