Secret Revealed: Nicholas Cartwright Officially Has a Baby With Former Home and Away Actor
Fans of Home and Away are reeling after a bombshell revelation shook the Summer Bay fandom this week — and it has nothing to do with the on-screen drama. Nicholas Cartwright, best known for his role as the charming yet principled Senior Constable Cash Newman, has officially confirmed he has a baby — and the mother is none other than a former Home and Away co-star.
The revelation came as a total surprise to fans, many of whom had no idea Cartwright was even in a relationship. The announcement broke when an eagle-eyed follower spotted a seemingly innocent Instagram post featuring Nicholas holding an adorable newborn. At first, speculation swirled: Was this a family member’s baby? A friend’s child? But within hours, confirmation arrived from both Nicholas and the baby’s mother — a familiar face viewers know all too well.
The mystery woman? A former Home and Away actor who left the show under quiet circumstances just a few years ago. While both have kept their romance under wraps, the chemistry between them — even in old cast photos — now seems impossible to ignore. Sources close to the pair say they’ve been together far longer than anyone realised, maintaining a low-key relationship away from the public eye to avoid media intrusion.
“They wanted to enjoy their relationship privately before the world found out,” one insider told us. “They’ve been incredibly happy together, and this baby has brought them even closer.”
For many fans, this is a plot twist worthy of the soap itself. Cartwright’s portrayal of Cash has earned him a loyal following, with viewers praising his warmth, integrity, and undeniable screen presence. Off-screen, he has always appeared focused on his craft, giving little away about his personal life. This revelation, however, has pulled back the curtain just enough to spark endless questions.
The former co-star, whose identity the couple has now confirmed, is equally adored by Home and Away fans. Their departure from the show was bittersweet, and many have hoped for a possible return. While there’s no word yet on whether they’ll be making an on-screen comeback, the news of their off-screen role as a new parent has only increased public curiosity.
The couple has shared a handful of tender photos with their newborn, carefully avoiding overexposure while still offering fans a glimpse into their joy. The images show Cartwright beaming as he cradles the baby, with the mother smiling warmly beside him.
As for the baby’s name and further details? The couple is keeping that under wraps for now — which has only heightened the intrigue. Social media is already buzzing with fans offering congratulations, speculating about the child’s future, and reminiscing about the parents’ time together on set.
In true Home and Away fashion, this real-life twist has proven that the drama doesn’t end when the cameras stop rolling. And for Nicholas Cartwright and his former co-star, it’s the start of their most heart-warming chapter yet.
