Close call! Former celebrity couple Megan Gale and Andy Lee narrowly each other at Sydney Airport as the comedian jets off with fiancée Rebecca Harding

Former celebrity couple Andy Lee and Megan Gale narrowly avoided a reunion at Sydney Airport this week.

Andy, 43, and Megan, 49, were one of Australia’s favourite celebrity couples before calling time on their four-year romance in 2010.

The pair were both spotted at the airport on Friday, missing each other by just ten minutes.

Megan was arriving on a flight from Melbourne, while Andy and fiancée Rebecca Harding, 34, were jetting out of Sydney at an airport gate close by.

Megan cut a stylish figure, arriving in a black top that she wore over a chic wool overcoat with a brass clasp.

She matched this with a pair of plain black jeans and finished her outfit with a pair of black ballet flats.

She was also spotted descending an escalator wearing a pair of stylish cat-eye sunglasses, later replacing them with a pair of specs.

She also wheeled a luxe $5000 Luis Vuitton suitcase through the airport.

Andy, meanwhile cut a very casual figure in a plain white T-shirt and a pair of navy blue sweatpants.

He finished his flight attire with a pair of white Puma sneakers and a blue baseball style cap, while also carrying a blue back pack on his shoulders.

Rebecca was also dressed for comfort, stepping out in a flowing black blouse that she wore with a pair of cream-coloured jeans.

Wheeling a silver suitcase through the terminal, Rebecca finished her outfit with a pair of flats. 

The couple were not afraid to flaunt their love, happily holding hands as they prepared to board their flight.

Despite Andy and Megan’s split reportedly being amicable, the model revealed in 2020 that it had tarnished her reputation when the public turned on her for moving on with her current partner, Shaun Hampson, shortly after the breakup.

‘It was very demeaning. I get how it happens, I don’t like it, I don’t accept it. It was really challenging to navigate for a while,’ she said in an interview with Mamamia. 

‘It wasn’t a good time. It almost felt like I had done something wrong and I had been tarnished like I’d done something wrong. When I was with [Andy], everyone loved us together.’

The former David Jones ambassador went on to explain that the couple had been dealing with their issues privately, so by the time everyone found out about the split it was ‘old news’ for them.

Megan started dating former AFL player Shaun, who was 12 years her junior, in January 2011.

Now engaged, the couple are still going strong, sharing two children, son River, 11, and daughter, Rosie, six. 

Meanwhile, Andy and Rebecca went public with their relationship at the 2015 Australian Open.

In 2022, the couple confirmed they had briefly split for six months in 2016 after Rebecca felt ‘immense pressure’ dating someone in the public eye.

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

After a decade together, Andy finally popped the question to Rebecca in May 2024.

Andy recently revealed that between opening an Australian themed pub in New York, and their mammoth $5million Melbourne mansion renovatio  the couple have barely had time to plan their nuptials.

‘Most of out planning times and decision time we spend on the house,’ Andy said with a laugh on TMZ’s Big Down Under podcast in March.

Asked by host Charlie Cotton for details about the wedding, Andy said he was ‘lo-fi’ while Bec is very ‘hi fi’.

‘When people come round to our house I don’t feel the need for napkins for instance,’ he joked.

‘But because Bec is very hi-fi, I’m lucky because I get the benefit of that…everything is nicely laid out and its the right cutlery…

‘And I’m worried that [the wedding] is going to be that X a 1000.’
