Andy and Alex tied the knot in October 2022.
The lovebirds said their vows in front of all their celebrity friends as they got married in a glamorous tent outside the Terrara House.
Some guests included Magdalena Roze and husband Darren Robertson, Melissa Leong and former Bachelor alum Cat Henesey-Smith.
It comes after Andy recently opened up about his final meeting with Jock Zonfrillo, revealing that he saw the late celebrity chef just a couple of hours before he died.
Jock, who was found dead aged 46 in a Melbourne hotel room in 2023, co-judged alongside Andy on hit cooking show MasterChef Australia from 2020 up until his death.
In a sit-down interview with 7NEWS Spotlight last month, Andy got candid about the last time he saw his friend, revealing he met Jock for lunch the day before his body was discovered.
'I've got hairs standing up already,' he told Liz Hayes as he looked back on his and Jock's final meal together, a moment he reflects back on a lot.
Andy went on to reveal that he had no idea that there was anything amiss during his last meeting with the celebrity chef.
'That's the thing that hurts the most,' he told Liz with tears in his eyes, 'because it was so sudden.'
Elsewhere in the heartbreaking interview, Andy recounted the moment he was given the news of Jock's passing by his wife Lauren Zonfrillo.
The chef admitted that the grief of losing his close friend hit him 'straight away', a feeling that made him instantly ill.
'As soon as I got off the phone, I ran straight to the bathroom and I vomited everywhere,' he said.
Andy also shared how he still grieves his friend daily.
'I always think of him. And I miss him, I miss him so much. It's crazy that that never goes' he said.
'That being reminded of him wherever I go and no matter what I do, it is still as strong as the day that he passed two years ago.'

BREAKING NEWS Matt Zukowski confirms shock split from Tammy Hembrow after less than a year of marriage
Matt Zukowski has confirmed his split from fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow after months of swirling rumours and cryptic social media posts. The Love Island Australia star, 29, announced the couple's separation in a sombre Instagram Story on Sunday, telling fans the decision was not taken lightly. 'It's with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate,' Matt began. 'Both of us have struggled with making this decision however; we need to do what is right for ourselves and her 3 children.' 'This wasn't a decision we took lightly. Our time together will always be cherished and never forgotten,' he added, before thanking fans for their support and asking for privacy.

The Love Island Australia star, 29, announced the couple's separation in a sombre Instagram Story on Sunday, telling fans the decision was not taken lightly Despite their short-lived marriage, both parties have asked for privacy as they adjust to life post-breakup. 'We appreciate everyone's support and space at this time as we navigate the split,' Matt concluded in his emotional post. The news comes less than 24 hours after he was spotted spending time with sports journalist Tayla Little at the London Tavern in Richmond, Melbourne on Saturday night. The news comes after weeks of speculation surrounding the state of the couple's whirlwind romance, with many fans convinced the pair had quietly split. Tammy, 32, first sparked concern in March after she was spotted crying in a bathroom, while Matt was later overheard allegedly ' talking crap' about his wife at a South Melbourne gym. In the weeks that followed, Matt quietly moved out of the couple's Queensland home and relocated back to Melbourne, where he resumed working for his father's pool business. While Matt continued to co-host his podcast Where's Your Head At? with ex-girlfriend and fellow Love Island alum Anna McEvoy, Tammy was noticeably absent from his social media. Meanwhile, the Gold Coast-based influencer has remained in Queensland with her three children - son Wolf, nine, daughter Saskia, seven, and toddler Posy, three - from previous relationships. Matt was notably missing from several major family events over the past two months, including Tammy's 31st birthday, Posy's fairy-themed third birthday party, and even Easter weekend. Despite exchanging vows in a glamorous Byron Bay ceremony just under a year ago and getting matching tattoos to mark their love, fans quickly noticed Matt had been erased from most of Tammy's social media - save for a few lingering images from their Vogue Australia wedding spread. She even hinted at emotional distress in a tearful video posted to Instagram earlier this month. 'I definitely don't like to pretend I am okay when I am not,' she said at the time, appearing without her wedding or engagement rings. 'I just feel like pretending is doing me more harm than good.' The video was followed by a series of cryptic TikToks and Instagram posts, including one captioned, 'when something feels off it is usually women's intuition.' Last week, Tammy teased a possible new career pivot amid the drama - telling fans she was considering launching a podcast as a form of therapy. 'I'm thinking of starting a podcast guys, because I feel like I have a lot to say. So would you listen if I did? Just food for thought,' she wrote on Instagram. Her post further fuelled speculation that a tell-all could be coming, especially given the mounting curiosity around her now-confirmed split from Matt.

Sydney's Eastern Suburbs rocked by cheating scandal as mystery Range Rover is spray-painted with brutal message
Sydney 's Eastern Suburbs was rocked by a cheating scandal over the weekend after a black luxury Range Rover was vandalised. The eye-popping SUV was first spotted parked at Bondi Beach on Saturday morning, with stunned onlookers quickly whipping out their phones to capture the explosive scene after the word 'cheater' was sprayed boldly across its side in silver paint. Love Island Australia star Aidan Knox was among the first to share the moment to his Instagram Story. Aidan posted a snap of the defaced vehicle with a string of laughing emojis and tagged the location as Bondi. The photo quickly sparked gossip across social media, with many locals claiming to have seen the car parked at various hotspots throughout the day. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Later that afternoon, the vehicle was seen outside Double Bay's Royal Oak Hotel where the drama only escalated. Gym goers and brunchers noticed the windscreen was plastered with an additional message: 'Don't deny it, I have the receipts!' – alongside a QR code. Naturally, curious passersby couldn't resist scanning the code to discover the identity of the alleged love rat, though the person behind the digital reveal remains unknown. Locals say the car was parked in the area for hours for amused onlookers. 'No one could believe it,' one witness told Daily Mail Australia. 'People were scanning the QR code like crazy and filming it for TikTok.' It's unclear who owns the vandalised Range Rover or what sparked the public naming-and-shaming, but online sleuths are already speculating it's linked to Sydney's influencer scene - or maybe it's another PR stunt. Back in 2022, a mystery man called Max likely had some explaining to do as he was confronted with a rather crude message spray-painted onto his house. The Bondi lothario was clearly having a bad day as his possibly now ex-partner decided to vent their fury over his alleged infidelity by spray-painting a rather rude message in black paint in large letters on the wall next to his door. A tickled passerby uploaded a picture of the graffiti to Facebook, where it garnered quite a bit of attention. The message read: 'Max you cheating p****, got what you're given.' One woman wrote: 'Oooft that's gonna cost him', - presumably in more ways than one.' Another helpfully pointed out that his building manager is soon to join the ranks of furious people in Max's life, commenting 'round of drinks on Max for the building manager'.

No RSVP's to Ramsay St: Neighbours finale falls flat with A-listers who starred in the soap - as Margot Robbie snubs reunion
The upcoming Neighbours finale risks becoming a disaster, with a string of A-list stars reportedly declining to reprise their roles for the soap's final bow. While the long-running soap opera, which was axed for a second time in February, was once a ratings giant that pulled in the biggest names in Aussie television, Ramsay Street now faces a farewell that feels more like a whisper than a celebration. Despite a dramatic rescue by Amazon Freevee in late 2022 after it was first axed in February that year, the soap's revival has hit a sudden halt, with a 'resting' period set for December 2025. Attempts to bring back some of the A-Listers who got their start on the show, including Margot Robbie, Guy Pearce, Natalie Imbruglia and Russell Crowe have fallen flat, leaving producers disappointed at the lack of enthusiasm. The original grand finale from 2022 was a ratings smash, with fan favourites like Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Guy Pearce reprising their roles. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Kylie Minogue, previously thrilled about her return for the 2022 finale, now reflects on feeling misled by the revival, reportedly describing it as a 'waste of time'. However, one Ramsay Street veteran confirmed to be making their return is Kimberley Davies, who appeared on the soap from 1993 to 1996, and later moved to America, appearing in several US productions including Friends and Ally McBeal. The absence of grand returns and viral excitement marks a stark contrast to the show's former glory days, signalling an end that feels definitive. For a series renowned for its family dramas and iconic TV moments, its stars have chosen to remain in the wings, leaving fans to ponder the end of an era. 'The cast of the current season will need to rely on the storylines that involve their characters because breaking out the cheque book won't cover it,' an insider told Daily Mail Australia. They added Margot and Kylie were not paid for their appearance in the 2022 finale, which made them even less thrilled about returning. 'The mega stars waived their usual million dollar fees and felt like they were waving goodbye to the show that launched them. It was very classy,' they said of the 2022 finale. 'The fact that Alan Fletcher, Jackie Woodburn and Ryan Maloney were tipped off as the show was saved during Neighbours' "farewell tour" was pretty awkward in retrospect. 'However, it was a little too late to call everyone who bought into the farewell episodes. Longtime fans will probably choose to remember the excellent tribute Network Ten pulled off in 2022. 'The only thing left to make any noise at this point would be to kill off legacy characters and the decision makers know that would not be fair to the remaining fans who returned to the show for these encore seasons.' News that iconic Australian soap Neighbours had been pulled by streaming giant Amazon has left fans heartbroken. It was revealed that the long-running series will be axed for a second time after production company Fremantle Australia failed to agree to terms with the US-based streamer. The official Neighbours X account shared the news, revealing the final episodes would air in December. 'We are sad to announce that Neighbours will be resting from December 2025,' the post read. 'New episodes from the 40th anniversary season will continue to air on Prime Video and Ten four times a week until the end of the year, with all the big soapie twists and turns that our viewers love.' Neighbours nearly ended forever two years ago when Channel 5, who part funded the soap for UK viewers, pulled out of their deal. The final episode aired on July 29, 2022, and saw very famous faces return and there were epic cameos made by Holly Valance, Natalie Imbruglia and Ian Smith, as they reprised their roles. The 2022 finale proved to be a huge hit as a peak of almost 3million UK viewers tuned in to watch lovebirds Scott (Jason) and Charlene (Kylie) back in Erinsborough. In Australia, the episode, which was aired on Channel 10 and 10 Peach, drew 873,000 metro viewers across both stations, largely thanks to the cast of returning favourites. And mere months after its success, it was confirmed that Amazon Freevee had given the show another lease of life and brought it back under revamped production. The newly-rebooted Neighbours premiered on Amazon in September 2023, but just less than two years on, it will be leaving screens for good. The soap, which followed the lives of the denizens of fictional Melbourne cul-de-sac Ramsay Street, had captivated audiences for an astonishing 40 years. Neighbours was aired on Freevee worldwide, but Amazon axed the free, ad-supported streaming service late last year, folding it under its Prime Video banner.
