In a surprise move that’s captured the hearts of fans, the beloved soap veteran Emily Symons has revealed she’s dating a fellow actor from Home and Away — and the announcement is as unexpected as it is sweet.

The “Marilyn Chambers” star, who has graced Summer Bay screens for decades, shared a candid post on social media featuring the new beau — an affiliate of the show whose name has yet to be officially confirmed. While Emily didn’t tag him in the post, the buzz surrounding the connection is already huge.

In the caption she wrote: “When you least expect it… love finds you. Grateful for this chapter 💕.” The photo showed the couple laughing together at dusk, Sydney skyline behind them — and from the comments it’s clear the mystery actor is part of the Home & Away family.

Insiders say the pair met on set earlier this year following a guest-arc collaboration. “They sparked off-camera just as much as they did on,” one source revealed, noting that Emily “wanted to take a little time before going public.”

Co-stars have already chimed in, with several congratulatory messages appearing subtly on cast members’ social feeds. While details remain under wraps, fans are speculating this could mark one of the show’s most talked-about real-life romances in years.

Whether this romance will cross over into on-screen storyline or remain firmly behind the scenes is still unknown — but Emily’s frank and joyful reveal is certain to excite her longtime audience.
