Andy Lee has shared new details about his wedding to fiancée Rebecca Harding.
The comedian, 43, revealed on KIIS FM’s The Kyle and Jackie O show on Tuesday that he and Rebecca won’t be getting married anytime soon.
He explained they are currently in the process of renovating their $8.5million historic Melbourne mansion and haven’t had a chance to plan a wedding yet.
‘[The wedding] is something we have not discussed at all,’ Andy said.
‘We tried to start it, but I think it bounces between, let’s have everyone there and have a massive party.
‘Then we look at the cost of that and the fact that we’re trying to finish the house. And we’re like, “oh, maybe we’ll just sneak away by ourselves”. But it won’t be any time soon, though.’
Andy also revealed he waited so long to propose to Rebecca because he wasn’t ‘keen on getting married’.
‘I didn’t really think that it was something I needed to do. It represented a waste of money and to be honest, I’m a bit of a wedding Grinch,’ he admitted.

‘I used to sit there and go, “Why do we have to go and sit and watch people for four hours tell us how much in love they are?”‘
‘And then as people change, I just thought, “No, actually, I do want a bit of this”. And I was surprised with what it does to a relationship. Even just getting engaged. I think you feel a bit more like a team. So, it’s been a lovely surprise.’
Andy and Rebecca announced their engagement on May 1 after ten years together.
Andy got down on one knee at the couples decrepit Melbourne mansion and proposed with a napkin – which symbolised how they met in 2014.
‘When I first met Bec, in a café, she was a waitress, and she was busy and I wrote on a napkin,’ Andy recounted.
‘I left my email address (on the napkin), which she didn’t like, but I just said, ‘If you have a boyfriend, just tell him that I’m using you to get to him. I bet he’s handsome’,’ he continued.

Andy returned to the same café the next morning and wrote another message on the napkin.
‘I’d actually gone back to the same café, gotten the same napkin again, and I had written, ‘If you’ve got a husband, just tell him that I’m using you to get to him. I bet he’s handsome,’ he said.
‘And I proposed with the napkin, which she loved.’
Rebecca and Andy went public with their relationship at the 2015 Australian Open.
In 2022, the couple confirmed they had briefly split for six months in 2016 after Rebecca felt ‘immense pressure’ dating someone in the public eye.
However, they soon realised they were meant to be during their time apart.
Andy and Rebecca are currently undertaking a $5million renovation project after buying a historic mansion in Melbourne’s east.
