After what appears to have been a visit with Scout’s mother Jessica Marais, Home and Away star James Stewart left Perth on Sunday with his eleven-year-old daughter.
According to reports, Jessica, 39, is currently leading a tranquil life in Western Australia after stepping away from the spotlight to safeguard her mental well-being.
James wore a pair of dark dress shorts and a black T-shirt for a laid-back vibe for the flight.
He strolled through the airport with his bags and suit cover while sporting a nice pair of sunglasses.
Scout was dressed casually as well, in a tracksuit and Crocs.

Woman’s Day claims that Jessica, 39, star of Packed To The Rafters, is back home in Perth with her family after spending four years attending to her mental health. The actress is reportedly taking it easy.
According to the article, the Logie Award winner returned to Washington in 2022 to reside at her late mother Karen Marais’s Mosman Park house.
It is said that she is spending time with her brother-in-law, her sister Clara, a doctor, and their two kids while Clara is remodeling her house.
Scout, Jessica’s daughter whom she co-parents with her ex-partner James, is said to still reside with her father in Sydney.
Despite being apart, James is said to frequently fly Scout out to Perth to visit her mother and reportedly has a very amicable relationship with Jessica.
Early last year, the trio could be seen in a group photo James shared to Instagram which showed them posing with Jessica’s family and James’ wife Sarah Roberts.
Proving that all is well between the blended family, Jessica beamed as she wrapped her arms wrapped around Scout and her ex-partner’s new flame 39-year-old Sarah.
Also spotted in the crowd was Jessica’s sister Clara, as well as Clara’s partner and young children.

James only captioned the endearing picture, “Family.”
For nearly three years, Jessica had not been pictured in public with Scout until this endearing picture.
Scout is co-parented by Jessica and James, who first connected in 2007 while working together on the set of Packed to the Rafters. They separated in 2015.
In 2019, James married Sarah, a fellow star of Home and Away.
Jessica’s past several years have not been easy.
Due to ‘urgent’ treatment for mental health difficulties at The Health Clinic, a Bronte facility, the mother-of-one, who suffers from bipolar disorder, was unable to attend the Logie Awards in July 2018.
She had daily counseling while undergoing therapy, and she also had access to psychologists, psychiatrists, and nurses.
Jessica reportedly followed a detox and inner health program, with inpatient programs averaging $25,000 for a month.
In September 2018, the South African-born star announced she was pulling out of Channel Nine show Bad Mothers a month before it was scheduled to begin filming.
‘Jessica has decided to step away from acting for the remainder of 2018 to focus on her health and spend time with her family,’ her manager said at the time.
In July 2019, it was announced that Jessica would return to screens in Halifax: Retribution, a reboot of ’90s drama Halifax f.p., starring alongside Rebecca Gibney and Anthony LaPaglia.
However, two months later reports claimed she had pulled out of the series.
Then in February 2020, Jessica shocked fans by announcing she would be stepping away from the highly anticipated Back to the Rafters for ‘personal reasons’.
