Who is Kate Walsh’s Australian farmer fiancé, Andrew Nixon? The Emily in Paris star was spotted rocking Chanel and Louis Vuitton in Melbourne with her beau – who she met on an expedition to Antarctica
It seems American actress Kate Walsh has been fully embracing the Aussie lifestyle.
The Grey’s Anatomy star, who swapped Hollywood for Down Under in 2020 after falling in love with an Australian farmer, was spotted looking chic in a US$1,650 Dries Van Noten bomber jacket and US$1,320 trousers as she walked through Melbourne Airport at the end of January, per Aussie media.
The ultimate accessory was of course her fiancé, the aforementioned farmer Andrew Nixon, who, in classic Aussie fashion, went for a much more laid back polo shirt and sandals.

Nixon and Walsh live together in Australia
Nixon and Walsh reportedly live together, after she moved from NYC to Perth during the Covid-19 pandemic, per People. “I love the city, I love the people and I feel very, very fortunate, obviously, to have quarantined there and be in Western Australia during this kind of crazy time in the world,” she told Honey.
In 2022, the Private Practice star gave lifestyle website The Spruce a tour of the couple’s Perth home, which features plenty of outdoor space, calm colour palettes and incredible views of the sea. “I really wanted to let nature dictate everything and have it be this calm, peaceful place so that the ocean and outdoors are really the star of the show,” Walsh said. “I wanted to do something I’d never done before, which was more modern and neutral and Danish. It’s still collected, but much simpler and calmer.”
How did Andrew Nixon and Kate Walsh meet?
Nixon and Walsh had a memorable first meeting that took place just before the Covid-19 pandemic. Per her interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show, they met on an expedition to Antarctica.
“We met, as one does, on a NatGeo expedition to Antarctica,” she shared, adding jovially “[Saw the] penguins, check. Ice, check. Whales, check. Man, check.”

Why doesn’t Kate Walsh have kids?
Back in 2015, Walsh candidly shared the reason she doesn’t have children in an interview with Maria Menounos on her SiriusXM radio show.
“I don’t have children. I’m not going to have kids,” she said, “I went through early menopause.”
“A lot more women are going through early menopause,” she added. “It is really interesting. I do believe you ‘lean in’ and that you can have a lot. I don’t know if you can actually have it all. I think that is actually this American myth. I wouldn’t call it a dream. I think it’s a bit of a myth in that it’s this huge pressure. We’re like, wait a minute, am I ‘less than’ if I’m not a mother? If I’m not a rock star in my career? I don’t know.”
