Sarah Shahi Confirms Breakup with Sex/Life Costar Adam Demos

Sarah Shahi is looking back at her recent heartbreak.

More than eight months after the Sex/Life actress and her costar Adam Demos reportedly broke up following five years of dating, she reflected on the reality of having a relationship in the public eye.

“There was an element of the relationship that people really felt belonged to them, which was very sweet and heart- warming,” Sarah told Us Weekly in an interview published Jan. 2. “The flip to that is when things end, you feel like you’re going through it twice.”

The 45-year-old—who met Adam, 40, on the set of the Netflix series in 2021—added, “You’re going through it emotionally on a personal level, and then you’re going through it again on a much bigger level.”

But Sarah is no stranger to making difficult, yet necessary, changes in her life. For example, ending her 11-year marriage to actor Steve Howey—with whom she shares William, 16, and 10-year-old twins Violet and Knox—in 2020 was a decision she had to make.
