Andy Lee says he ‘stalked’ girlfriend Rebecca Harding following their split

Andy Lee has revealed how he continued to pursue Rebecca Harding following their split, leading to a reconciliation. 

The couple broke up in 2016 and the comedian, 41, told 2DAY FM’s Hughesy, Ed and Erin radio show on Tuesday that he found that he couldn’t let go. 

‘I did a fair bit of stalking of her when we broke up. I was still in love with her,’ he said on the breakfast show. 

‘It was complicated, she wasn’t really coping with the lifestyle, and she was losing herself in the fact that people wanted photos etc. 

‘She was losing her bounce. So afterwards, I was always keeping an eye on… both on Instagram, and in real life, driving past her house.’ 

He went on: ‘I could see she was killing it, she had her glow back, and I wondered if she was seeing someone.

‘So I checked in with her sister to see if she was, and when her sister said no, I asked her for a drink. The rest is history.’

Andy and Rebecca, 30, got back together six months after their initial split and have been going strong ever since. 

Rebecca, who met Andy while she was a waitress in 2014, previously said that being the partner of someone in the public eye left her feeling ‘insecure and miserable’.

‘I was starting my career and doubting myself and my ability. Did I get this job because of who I’m dating? 

‘I’d make friends and wonder, do they actually like me? I struggled,’ she told Sydney Morning Herald. 

Andy, who went public with Rebecca at the 2015 Australian Open, added: ‘It was a really sad, tough time – and confronting because I had to accept that what I do for a living created the situation.

After Bec felt ‘immense pressure’ dating someone in the public eye, the pair called it quits for half a year in 2016.

However, they soon realised they were meant to be during their time apart.

‘I thought my sadness would pass and I’d get on with my life, but the feeling didn’t go. When I still felt the same after six months, it was clear to me I should see whether she was interested,’ Andy said.

Now, the duo are in a better place than ever – and even splashed out $8.5million last November on a house in Hawthorn which they are now renovating. 

In August, they insisted that they’re happy where their relationship is at and are tired of fielding questions about marriage and children.

‘Some people find those milestones [like marriage] super important in their lives. But they’re not for everyone,’ Andy told Stellar magazine.

Rebecca added they have already taken steps to demonstrate their commitment for each other and they’re currently taking things as they come.

‘It is really unfair and there is also other pressure to have kids, as well. And unfortunately for women, we do have a little bit of a clock that’s ticking…’ she said.

‘We’re loving where we’re at, really. We’ve bought a house. We’ve got a dog, and we have a few other projects, too.’
