‘I really love Western Australia… I think nature here eclipses everything. It drives me,’ she told news.com.au.

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.
