He survived a horror train crash on screen. Off screen, he just started the most beautiful chapter of his life.
Home and Away fans have had a lot to worry about lately when it comes to Adam Rowland. His character Remi Carter was left fighting for his life after a devastating train crash at the end of the 2025 season — and viewers have been counting the days for answers ever since.
But this January, Adam gave them something else to talk about entirely.
Something wonderful.
The 31-year-old actor popped the question to his longtime girlfriend Olivia Lewis on Arthur’s Seat — a dramatic hill overlooking Edinburgh, Scotland — against a breathtaking sunrise backdrop. He then took to Instagram to share the moment with the world, captioning the photo simply: Yahoo!
“Our Favourite Sunrise.” 💍
That was all he needed to say. The image did the rest — Adam down on one knee, the sky painted gold and pink behind them, the whole world feeling very small and very perfect in that single moment.
Fans and co-stars absolutely lost it in the comments section.
Angelina Thomson, who plays Kirby Aramoana on the show, wrote: “AHHHHHH CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH YAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!” Emily Symons, beloved as Marilyn Chambers, added: “Congratulations to you both — how exciting!” Stephanie Panozzo, who plays Eden Fowler, typed: “Ahhh congratulations legends!!!” Yahoo!
Maddison Brown, Juliet Godwin, and Jacqui Purvis also sent warm messages to the newly engaged couple. New Idea
It was the kind of comment section that reminds you why people love this cast so much — genuine, warm, and overflowing with joy.
So who is Olivia Lewis?
Adam and Olivia tend to keep their relationship very private, and it is not known exactly how long the couple have been together. They have rarely made public appearances together, and Olivia maintains a low profile away from the spotlight that follows Adam’s career. New Idea
What fans do know is that Adam and Olivia are proud parents to a dog named Wilf — a detail that has delighted followers who follow the couple on social media. Now To Love
As of the time of writing, no pregnancy has been announced by Adam or Olivia. Any reports suggesting otherwise are unconfirmed and should be treated as speculation only.
For those who have followed Adam’s journey from the very beginning, this engagement feels like a full-circle moment.
Adam was born and raised in Albury, a country town in New South Wales, Australia. He grew up with his mother Kerrie, an older sister, and a younger brother. He was a keen Australian rules football player until a shoulder injury redirected his attention to performing. A talented musician, Adam had been playing guitar from a young age. IMDb
At 24, he made the move to Melbourne to pursue his acting career, studying at the Howard Fine Studio and gradually building up a body of work across short films, TV commercials, and guest roles in shows including Neighbours, Five Bedrooms and Love Me. IMDb
Then came Summer Bay.
Adam has played musician Remi Carter on Home and Away since 2021, joining the show as the lead guitarist for a band named Lyrik, alongside Kirby Aramoana, Eden Fowler and Bob Forsyth. The band became one of the show’s most beloved storylines, and Remi quickly became a fan favourite — complicated, passionate, and real in a way that made viewers root for him even when he was getting things spectacularly wrong. Now To Love
Music has always run deep for Adam personally too. He told The Post in February 2025: “Music for me has always been quite therapeutic, and an enjoyable pastime.” He also revealed that growing up, he had a band with two mates from his hometown, playing small gigs and open-mic nights before his acting path took over. Yahoo!
Of course, the big question hanging over Home and Away fans right now isn’t just about the engagement.
It’s about whether Remi is even alive.
In the 2025 season finale, Remi was involved in a tragic train crash, and his fate was left completely unknown — with the storyline set to be resolved when the show returns in January 2026. Womens Weekly
Viewers have been left asking whether he survived the catastrophe or not — and the tension has been almost unbearable for fans who have watched Remi go through so much already. Yahoo!
But now, at least, they know that the man behind Remi is doing just fine. More than fine, actually.
He’s engaged. He’s in love. And somewhere on a hill in Scotland, as the sun came up over Edinburgh, he asked the woman he loves to spend her life with him.
She said yes.
Congratulations to Adam and Olivia — Summer Bay’s favourite guitarist is officially off the market. 💍
Stay tuned for more Home and Away news as the 2026 season gets underway. Something tells us Remi’s story isn’t over yet.
