The singer has been making the most of his time in Australia and was recently seen having breakfast on his lap at a bohemian cafe in Sydney.
He sat in a lounge chair outside the restaurant and dined with his model wife Jill Goodacre, 57, and two of their daughters, Georgia, 26, and Sarah, 25.
Their time Down Under hasn’t been without drama, however, and fellow Australian Idol judge Kyle has revealed that the two aren’t on speaking terms.

Speaking on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, the jock explained that Harry is a ‘serious’ man and ‘doesn’t like jokes’, which is why he was furious when he realized Pete’s audition was just a joke. .
“Harry stood up and said, ‘Oh my God, we’re better than this,’ and walked off the set,” Kyle said.
His co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson said she had heard from Channel Seven that Harry requested that all footage of him reacting to Pete’s comedic performance be destroyed.
Kyle said he was fed up with Harry’s no-nonsense attitude spoiling what was meant to be a fun show and confirmed their friendship was over.
