However, they have failed to contact concerned friends or family members since and an urgent appeal has now been launched to locate them amid fears for their wellbeing.
It is understood they may have travelled within the East Lothian region, according to Police Scotland.
Ivana is described as around 5’7 tall with a slim build and short brown hair.
She was thought to be wearing black jeans, a grey hoodie and a red beanie hat at the time of her disappearance.
Noah is also understood to be around around 5’7 with a slim build and brown hair.
He was wearing black trousers and a maroon/purple hoodie when he was last seen.
Inspector Alan King said: “Concerns are growing for Ivana and Noah and we are urging anyone who may have seen them or know where they are to get in touch. In addition, if they see this appeal, please get in touch with us to let us know you are safe and well.
“It is believed they may have travelled to the Port Seton area or elsewhere in East Lothian. Noah is from Edinburgh so they may also have gone there.”
Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 2558 or 2513 of Friday, 11 March, 2022.
