It seems love is once again in the air for Australian screen siren Isabel Lucas. The former Home and Away favourite — who stole hearts as the sweet and complex

Tasha Andrews on the long-running soap — has unveiled a surprising new chapter in her romantic life, and fans are here for every dreamy detail.

On Thursday, the 40-year-old actress broke her silence on her latest relationship, going Instagram official with her ruggedly handsome new man, American filmmaker and surfer Cyrus Sutton, 43.

The reveal instantly sent social media into a frenzy, marking the first public confirmation of her love life since her last relationship ended quietly in 2023.

A Waterfall, A Shirtless Pose, and a Picture-Perfect Moment

In a series of idyllic images shared to her Instagram feed, Isabel and Cyrus are seen wrapped in each other’s arms before a breathtaking natural waterfall. Cyrus, radiating effortless surfer charm, went shirtless for the shoot, revealing a toned, athletic frame that left fans swooning. His laid-back smile and windswept hair perfectly complemented Isabel’s soft, ethereal beauty — a pairing that looked like something straight out of a romantic film.

The post, captioned simply “Where dreams rest,” spoke volumes without needing to say much at all. In the photos, the couple exchange intimate glances and easy smiles, the type of body language that suggests this is far more than a casual fling.

The carousel quickly lit up with congratulatory messages, with close friends and industry peers clearly delighted to see the actress happy.

Famous Friends Approve

Among those quick to share their joy was filmmaker Sophie Haber, who couldn’t contain her excitement, writing: “You guysssss.”
Model Abigail O’Neill added an emotional “Oh Isabel!” while artist Josje Leyten sweetly commented: “Aw, this makes me happy to see.” Even Silvana Philippoussis, wife of former tennis champion Mark Philippoussis, joined the chorus of support, calling the pairing simply: “Magic.”

It remains unclear how long the two have been together, but one thing is certain — their connection seems genuine, and the couple’s shared love of nature, travel, and creative pursuits hints at a strong common ground.

A Romantic Past Full of Hollywood Headlines

This isn’t Isabel’s first time in the spotlight for matters of the heart. Over the years, she has been linked to several well-known names, with her relationships often sparking media intrigue.

In 2006, long before Thor catapulted him to global fame, Isabel dated Hollywood’s golden boy Chris Hemsworth. At the time, the pairing was a darling of the Australian entertainment press, their youthful romance playing out against the backdrop of their rising careers. While their love eventually fizzled, both have spoken respectfully of one another in the years since.

Lucas later entered a relationship with indie pop singer Angus Stone, one-half of the beloved Australian duo Angus & Julia Stone. Their connection was as much artistic as it was romantic, and they were frequently spotted enjoying low-key beach days and music festivals together.

In 2010, she made headlines again when she was linked to Entourage star Adrian Grenier, a Hollywood heartthrob whose fame only amplified public fascination with her love life.

A More Private Approach in Recent Years

While her earlier romances were splashed across tabloids, Isabel has become notably more private in her personal affairs. The last time she publicly acknowledged a partner was in 2023, when she shared a tender beachside snap with a man named Samuel. That photo, captured against a glowing sunset, was paired with a heartfelt caption:
“How I’m grateful for you. You’re a slow burn, my love.”

The relationship seemed promising, but like many of her past romances, it quietly faded from public view, leaving fans curious about her next chapter.

The Cyrus Sutton Connection

Cyrus Sutton, her new beau, is no stranger to the spotlight himself — albeit in a very different sphere. A filmmaker, surfer, and environmental advocate, Sutton has built a career capturing the beauty of the ocean and the surf culture that surrounds it. Known for his work in both documentary filmmaking and outdoor lifestyle content, he’s carved a reputation as someone deeply in tune with nature — a quality that aligns closely with Isabel’s own values.

Their shared passions for the environment, alternative lifestyles, and the natural world suggest this pairing could be more than a passing romance. In fact, fans are already speculating that Sutton may be the most compatible partner Lucas has had yet.

Isabel’s Controversial Side

While Isabel’s career and beauty have long captivated audiences, she hasn’t been without controversy. In recent years, she’s drawn criticism for promoting unconventional views about the Covid-19 vaccine and 5G technology, aligning herself with conspiracy circles that have divided public opinion.

Lucas notably voiced support for disgraced chef and conspiracy theorist Pete Evans, who was once a high-profile judge on My Kitchen Rules. During the height of the pandemic, she described herself as “pro-choice” on vaccines — a phrase often used by those opposing Covid-19 inoculations. She clarified that she is not opposed to all vaccines, but does not support Covid-19 vaccinations specifically.

Her stance sparked debate, but Lucas has remained steadfast in her beliefs, often choosing to focus her public presence on environmental and spiritual content rather than directly engaging with critics.

From Soap Star to Global Name

Isabel Lucas’s career trajectory has been anything but ordinary. After her breakout role on Home and Away in the early 2000s, she quickly transitioned to Hollywood, landing roles in major productions like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Immortals. She also appeared in The Water Diviner, showcasing her range in more dramatic roles.

Despite her success abroad, Lucas has frequently returned to Australia, maintaining a lifestyle that blends global travel with a grounded connection to home. Her social media often reflects this — an aesthetic mix of serene landscapes, artful self-portraits, and glimpses into her off-screen life.

What’s Next for Isabel and Cyrus?

While it’s too soon to tell where this relationship is headed, fans can’t help but feel optimistic. The chemistry between Isabel and Cyrus radiates in their shared photos — an ease and intimacy that suggests they’ve found a deep comfort in each other’s company.

If their shared passions are anything to go by, we might see this couple collaborating on creative projects in the future, whether that’s through documentary work, environmental advocacy, or simply inspiring others to live more consciously.

A Fairytale in the Making?

After a history of romances with some of the most eligible bachelors in Australia and Hollywood, Isabel Lucas seems to have found a partner who matches not just her lifestyle, but her worldview. Their waterfall debut may be just a snapshot in time, but it carries the kind of cinematic beauty that fans can’t help but romanticise.

For now, Isabel appears content — and after years of high-profile scrutiny, public breakups, and personal reinventions, perhaps that’s the most beautiful plot twist of all.
