Episode 8702 Reflective Recap — “From Rumor to Farewell: Summer Bay’s Week of Shock and Gratitude”

Have Dan Ewing and Katrina Risteska split? Home and Away star stops posting about fiancée on social media before undergoing huge transformation after ‘hitting absolute rock bottom’ – as actress ‘moves out of family home’

Dan Ewing and fiancée Katrina Risteska have sparked rumours they may have split.

The couple, who share two-year-old daughter Nevaeh Catherine, seem to have gone silent on each other’s social pages since last year.

A source has also revealed to Daily Mail Australia that Katrina, 34, may have moved out of the Brisbane family home the pair bought together at least two years ago.

According to an insider, Dan, 40, and Katrina owned a property in Lota, Queensland – a gated community in the outer eastern suburbs of Brisbane.

The home last sold for $580,000 in 2022, as shown on realestate.com.au, presumably to the couple.

However, it seems Katrina may no longer be living at the family home, as she shared a sponsored video in April which showed her residing at another house.

The clip saw Katrina spruiking a pressure washer, which she used to clean the back patio of her current property.

However, there were notable differences between the Lota home and the building she was washing.

Her family home features an all-white façade and a concrete patio, while the house Katrina was cleaning in the video had a red-brick exterior and a wooden deck.

To add to the split rumours, Dan and Katrina no longer appear to post about one another on their socials, with the soap star also undergoing a dramatic physical transformation after ‘hitting absolute rock bottom’ near the end of 2024.

The former Home and Away actor last prominently included Katrina on his Instagram page on Mother’s Day last year, writing a tribute to his partner alongside a sweet image.

The black and white photo showed Katrina blowing bubbles with their daughter Nevaeh as Dan penned some gushing words about the pair.

‘Alright I’m not articulate enough to describe how I truly feel but here goes… The biggest compliment I could give to my salted caramel goddess is this,’ he began.

(Clears throat) You’re a Fkn… MIL… Ok… no… FOCUS… (Clears throat again),’ he continued.

‘I couldn’t be more grateful that our daughter is not only the spitting image of her beautiful mother but she also emulates her empathy, intelligence, kindness, SASS… all of the SASS… Did I mention SASS?’

‘I was head over heels to have one of you. I thank God every day now that I have two. Happy Mothers Day.’

It was the last post which heavily featured Katrina.

A birthday video for Nevaeh in July and a sponsored video in December showed mere glimpses of Katrina, with Dan’s page suddenly overtaken with fitness videos.

Dan, who also shares son Archie, 10, with his ex-wife Marni Little, does not appear to have posted about Katrina or Nevaeh at all this year.

Likewise, Katrina, who rarely posts at the best of times, has not shared anything featuring Dan since her 33rd birthday last January.

While the couple still follow each other on Instagram, they seem to have stopped liking and interacting with each other’s posts.

Instead, some of their more recent uploads contain words of inspiration.

In January, Dan shared a message to his ‘special friends’, writing: ‘You are so loved, I am so grateful for you!

‘The love and support you’ve given me in 2024 means the world. You’ve changed my life forever. I am sober because of you.’

Dan revealed to his followers earlier this month that he became a ‘depressed alcoholic’ last year and has since given up alcohol.

‘You are perfect in every way even if it takes people close to you way too long to figure out what a gift from heaven you are,’ he continued.

‘I wish you nothing but success at the level you dream of and I know will achieve.’

‘I may not see you all face-to-face but I believe in you more than you believe in yourselves,’ he finished.

Dan overlaid the post with an instrumental song by Parijat called Healing the Heart.
