Andy Lee says he’s happy he hasn’t had children with his girlfriend of ten years Rebecca Harding yet because he likes being ‘available’ to friends and family: ‘People think it is selfish’

He has been in a relationship with his girlfriend Rebecca Harding for ten years.

And Andy Lee says he’s not at all concerned that the couple haven’t had any children yet.

The media personality, 42, has suppressed marriage and pregnancy rumors for years, with the couple seemingly in sight.

In conversation with Kate Langbroek Mamamia has no filter podcast on Monday, the radio star and comedian said he’s glad he’s childfree because he likes to be “available” to friends and family.

“What I love about not having kids right now is how available I am to my family,” he told the comedian and fellow radio host.

He went on to say that when his parents pester him about having children, he tells them that having a child would mean not being able to spend time with him at his “beach house.”

‘I like being available to people. It’s something I love about friends: it’s a reliable source to fall back on,” he continued.

‘I’m sure having my own family means giving that up… People think that’s selfish. But that’s not it, I get a lot of self-esteem from it.’

This week, Andy was once again forced to quell rumors that he had secretly married Rebecca.

During Tuesday’s episode of The Hundred, he took a moment to reassure viewers that he had not secretly married his longtime lover.

Andy made the announcement while responding to a joke from co-star Tom Gleeson, who brought up his much-discussed love life.

“Andy has something to say, he just ran away,” Tom said.

‘I like being available to people. It’s something I love about friends: it’s a reliable source to rely on. I’m definitely afraid that having my own family means giving that up… People think that’s selfish. But it’s not, I get a lot of self-esteem from it,” he said

“Stay until the end of the show, if that’s the case… It’s not,” Andy replied.

Andy addressed marriage rumors in July 2023, after years of speculation.

The popular radio presenter referred to the numerous reports during an interview with 9Entertainment together with his co-presenter Hamish Blake.

He laughed off the speculation when asked, saying he “had a lot of secret weddings” with his model girlfriend who he has been dating since 2014.
