Andy Lee and Rebecca Harding tie the knot in New York City

Andy Lee and Rebecca Harding have officially married in New York City, after 12 years of dating.

The couple have been breadcrumbing details of their nuptials on social media over the weekend. This comes after comedian, television personality and podcast host Lee, 45, confirmed in a March episode of the Hamish & Andy podcast that he would tie the knot with model and entrepreneur Harding, 36, before the end of the year.

In the same episode, co-host and long-time best friend Hamish Blake jokingly referred to the event as “the royal wedding”.

Here’s what we know so far.

It has not yet been confirmed where exactly the couple held their ceremony in New York City. However, photos published by the Daily Mail Australia show Harding exiting the Bowery Hotel in Lower Manhattan.

Rumours suggest the couple held their after-party at Old Mates, an Australian-themed pub in Downtown Manhattan that Lee co-owns alongside prominent investors Hugh Jackman, Pat Cummins, Ash Barty, Mick Fanning and Patty Mills. Blake is also a co-owner of the pub.

While official photos are yet to be released, Harding was seen wearing a minimalist strapless white wedding gown with a fitted bodice, full skirt and large train ahead of the ceremony.

Keeping the styling simple, Harding wore her hair in a half-updo with a middle part. Accessories included diamond earrings and her engagement ring.

The intimate guest list included some famous names such as Blake and his wife, beauty entrepreneur Zoe Foster Blake, who were spotted walking the streets of New York on Wednesday morning.

Other confirmed attendees included Nova radio host Lauren Phillips and her fiance, aviation tycoon Paul O’Brien, and stylist and new KIIS FM breakfast host Elliot Garnaut.

It has been confirmed Lee’s brother Cam was a groomsman, and rumours suggest Harding’s sister Poppy was a bridesmaid.

Lee also posted to his Instagram story on Saturday morning that he “nearly had to replace a groomsman”, with a video of friend Michael “Horgs” Hogan running to board the Qantas flight.

The video was followed with a snap of Hogan alongside Australian cricketer Dan Christian, drinking beers on a private flight.

The video has been the closest thing to a confirmation, alongside a picture of the couple posted by Harding with the caption “Husband to be”.

Two close friends of Harding, Jorgia Christian and Lucy Nettlefold, have also been spotted in New York ahead of the ceremony.

Speaking to nine.com.au in June about the wedding, Harding said it would be “fairly traditional” but also a “big, fun party”. And Lee confirmed the couple planned to have a small and intimate wedding, with 80 guests in attendance. Invitations were sent out last Christmas.

Lee and Harding announced their engagement in May 2024 but met back in 2014 in a Melbourne cafe where Harding was working as a waitress.

In 2024 Lee recalls ordering almost everything on the menu so he could watch Harding as she interacted with customers, before leaving his email address on a napkin.

Lee told The Australian Women’s Weekly: “There’s plenty of hot chicks in the world but with Bec it was the way she was chatting to people in the cafe. I sat there for a long time watching her, which is probably weird in hindsight.”

When Lee popped the question, he did so via napkin.

“I stayed on one knee and I gave her another napkin – because when I first met her at the cafe I wrote on a napkin my details – and I gave her another napkin,” Lee said on the Hamish and Andy podcast.
