Hollywood star engaged to Aussie farmer
Hollywood actress Kate Walsh accidentally announced she is engaged to Aussie farmer Andrew Nixon during an Instagram Live video.
The 54-year-old Grey's Anatomy actress was chatting with her former Private Practice co-star Amy Brenneman when her partner walked into the frame.
“Here comes the jungle cat,” she said. “That is my fiancé.”
The farmer smiled and waved at the camera as Brenneman, 58, told him, “She just 100 per cent outed your engagement.”
Walsh, whose ring could be seen during the video, then confirmed, “I did. I just outed our engagement.”
News of the pair's relationship originally broke in February 2021, with reports they had met on a cruise.
The couple have been living together in Perth, with Walsh telling The Daily Telegraph in August 2020 that she got “stuck” away from home during the pandemic.
“I didn’t really want to go back to New York in the middle of a pandemic when it was pretty gnarly to say the least,” she said at the time.
“I couldn’t go home initially, and now that I can, I don’t really fancy going back,” she continued. “I have my own mother saying, ‘Don’t come home,’ my 86-year-old mum. We are in a very challenging time!”
Until now, Walsh's relationship with Nixon has been kept extremely private, as they have both chosen not to post photos of each other on social media.
