American actress Kate Walsh has settled into her new life in Perth, Western Australia after finding love Down Under with farmer Andrew Nixon.
And the Grey’s Anatomy star was making the most of her Christmas and New Year’s celebrations as she partied through the festive season with her fiancé.
The 56-year-old looked relaxed and happy as she hosted a gathering of friends and family on Saturday.
Kate opted for a sleek black ensemble for the occasion including a short black romper and a stack of gold necklaces.
She appeared to have on a natural makeup look for the party and wore her brunette locks loosely pinned off her face.

‘I really love Western Australia… I think nature here eclipses everything. It drives me,’ she told news.com.au.
‘I like the slowness. It’s really good for me. And then you go back overseas and you’re like, “Oh my god. People are insane”‘ she added.
Walsh then said she often flew to America for filming and then returned to Australia when she was free to spend more time with her fiancé.
‘I feel very fortunate I can pop back to LA, go to work, and then come back here and live my best life.’
‘I needed my life to be a lot more balanced. And then, I fell in love with an Aussie, and here I am. I love it. I’m very grateful,’ she added.

The California native reportedly met Andrew, of Nixon Farming, on a cruise just before the start of the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020.
The Nixon family have been farming predominantly malt barley and canola in the Moora/New Norcia area of Western Australia for close to 100 years, according to their website.
This will be the second time down the aisle for Kate, who ended her 15-month marriage to Day Shift executive producer Alex Young in 2010.
The showbiz couple legally separated in 2008. They cited the celeb favourite ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the split.
