'That said, I am no longer able to attend Calgary Stampede or join some of the shows on The Secret of Us Deluxe tour.' As a result, Role Model said he would have to drop out of most of Gracie Abrams' shows, where he was scheduled as an opener.

Tucker will star alongside Natalie Portman and Mark Ruffalo in Good Sex, which follows 40-year-old couples' therapist Ally (Portman) who is getting back into the dating scene in New York.

Andy Lee makes smug comment about not having kids with his partner of ten years Rebecca Harding
Andy Lee has risked rustling up some internet trolls with his latest comment about his child-free lifestyle with his partner of 10 years, Rebecca Harding. The Australian comedian and his fiancée recently celebrated the fourth birthday of their only child, a beloved Welsh Terrier named Henri. On Monday, the 43-year-old luxuriated in a midday sleep in to mark the King's Birthday public holiday. 'It's 11.48am,' he captioned a photo taken of his dog curled up at his feet in bed, with the curtains in his Melbourne apartment still drawn. Andy shared the post to his Stories with the caption: 'Tell me you don't have kids without telling me you don't have kids.' 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. The funnyman, 43, and Rebecca, 35, returned to Melbourne on Saturday from a quick jaunt to New York City to pay a visit to Andy's recently opened Aussie-themed Manhattan pub, Old Mates. With Andy at the helm of the venture, it is backed by an owner's group that includes the likes of Hamish Blake, tennis star Ash Barty, surfing legend Mick Fanning, Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins and Hollywood A-lister Hugh Jackman. The comic did not let jet lag get to him either, getting back on the tools at his $8million renovation of an 1870s-era home built on the banks of Melbourne's Yarra River by Saturday afternoon. Andy freely admits that the ambitious project has taken precedence over planning their upcoming wedding. 'Most of our planning times and decision time we spend on the house,' Andy said with a laugh when he appeared on TMZ's Big Down Unda 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 said. 'But because Bec is very hi-fi, I'm lucky because I get the benefit of is nicely laid out and its the right cutlery... 'And I'm worried that [the wedding] is going to be that X a 1000.' Andy said the couple had no plans to a family right now — but teased a potential to change that. 'If Bec wants to [have a baby] I'm open to all that kind of stuff,' he said. It's quite the turnaround from comments the comic made in an interview with Kate Langbroek for the Mammamia Unfiltered podcast last year. 'I've gone through times where I thought I would, and then I've definitely gone through patches of feeling, "I don't think I want this at all. We'll see",' Andy confessed. 'One thing I do love about not currently having kids is how available I am to my family. My mum, my dad and I were down at the beach house the other day and they said, "When are you going to start a family?" 'And I said, "You realise you wouldn't be here in this beach house if I had my own family and kids." I think I spend so much time with them because of [being child-free].' 'I love being available to people. It's something that I love with friends - being a reliable source to call upon,' he continued. 'I do definitely worry that having my own family means that I give that up... People think that's selfish. But it's not, I get a lot of self-worth [out of it].' Parenthood, he said, doesn't mean a person can't show up as a good mate, but 'it's all-consuming'. 'Naturally, people turn inward when they have their own kids,' he said. Ultimately, Andy said, marriage isn't 'super important' for the couple. He said he thinks Rebecca will be 'an amazing mum,' but the often 'unfair pressure' on child-free couples to announce their future plans isn't helpful. 'There's no rub between Bec and I on that front. Because she also doesn't want [kids] right now. This is the misconception,' he added.

Andy Lee and Rebecca Harding spotted jetting into Melbourne after New York trip...as the comedian goes straight back to 'work' on mammoth mansion project
Andy Lee cut a casual figure on Saturday, when he was spotted with partner Rebecca Harding, jetting into Melbourne after a New York jaunt. The funnyman, 43, and Rebecca, 35, were in the Big Apple to pay a visit to Andy's Aussie-themed Manhattan pub, Old Mates. With Andy at the helm of the venture, it is backed by an owner's group that includes the likes of Hamish Blake, tennis star Ash Barty, surfing legend Mick Fanning, Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins and Hollywood A-lister Hugh Jackman. Andy was dressed for on the long haul flight, wearing a pair of loose-fitting navy blue tracksuit pants. He also wore a crisp, white long sleeve polo shirt, and a pair of well-worn white sneakers. 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. Finishing his flight ensemble, the Hundred host wore a brown and white Cherry LA trucker cap. Rebecca, meanwhile was similarly attired in a pair of grey track suit pants and a white top that she wore under a thigh-length coat. Wearing a black headband to keep her locks of her face, Rebecca was also spotted wheeling a silver suitcase and hand luggage. Andy, meanwhile appeared more interested in his phone, smiling as he scrolled and walked. He did not let jet lag get to him either, getting back on the tools at his ambitious Melbourne mansion renovation. He shared a photo to Instagram on Saturday afternoon that showed him happily posing with construction crew at the build site. While the workers, who appeared to have been rendering a cement wall looked suitably dirty, Andy, who offered a heart thumbs up, was conspicuously spotless. 'Me and the boys got the walls done in a day. I certainly don't want to take all the credit, it was a team effort,' he captioned the image. The funnyman, 43, and Rebecca, 35, were in the Big Apple to pay a visit to Andy's Aussie-themed Manhattan pub, Old Mates His followers were quick to flood the comments with suggestions that Andy was only there for the 'photo op.' 'Good to see the shoes are nice and dirty,' one offered, commenting on Andy's pristine footwear. Another chimed in with a cheeky: 'Andy rocking up just in time for smoko.' Hopefully they kept the noise down as Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed, earlier this month, that some neighbours are less-than-enamoured with the protracted build. 'It's noisy. It's been noisy... It's frustrating because it's been going for a year and we've still got a couple more years to go,' one disgruntled person said. Though they went on to add the 'earthworks' was the noisiest portion of the build, the neighbour said nowadays it has 'actually settled down quite a bit'. Andy and Rebecca have grand plans for their Italianate manor, with the planned renovation worth an estimated $5million having begun in 2023. The comedian has been hard at work on the derelict Melbourne mansion, called Ravenswood, he bought for $8.5million in 2021, in a Block-style rebuild. The couple won council approval for their development application back in June 2023. Plans for the site include adding a second building which will be connected by a tunnel to the original Italianate mansion, which was built around 1876. Other highlights planned for the 1,950 square metre holding include a home theatre, a gym, a swimming pool and a 'mega bedroom'. In a statement to the Herald Sun, Boroondara Council confirmed it had issued a notice of decision to grant a planning permit for the Yarra Grove address. One neighbour told the Sydney Morning Herald in December the construction cacophony had caused the couple to lose 'a lot of community goodwill'. 'The noise is just horrendous,' the disgruntled neighbour told the publication.

EXCLUSIVE Andy Lee's mega-mansion causes division as neighbours complain of constant noise and no parking while years-long construction continues on three-storey Melbourne home
Andy Lee and fiancée Rebecca Harding may be on the verge of overstaying their welcome in Hawthorn as construction continues on their three-story mega-mansion. The funnyman, 43, and his partner, 35, have spent the last 18 months restoring a 150-year-old derelict home by the Yarra River in Melbourne. With huge plans to connect a modern build to the Italianate manor, and years longer to go, Daily Mail Australia can reveal the disruptive build has divided neighbours. 'It's noisy. It's been noisy... It's frustrating because it's been going for a year and we've still got a couple more years to go,' one disgruntled person said. Though they went on to add the 'earthworks' was the noisiest portion of the build, the neighbour said nowadays it has 'actually settled down quite a bit'.

The funnyman and his partner have spent the last 18 months restoring a 150-year-old derelict home by the Yarra River in Melbourne 'Any building site is noisy... It's hard with parking. The parking is difficult, but any house renovation does that,' they continued. Another neighbour agreed, saying: 'There was digging every day between seven and three. That's ceased. 'At the moment it has quieted down. We've just accepted that it's happening.' Someone else took umbrage with how frequently builders were working on the site, and wondered if Andy knew how noisy the construction was. 'I will say they start at about 7.15am and finish at 5pm and it's been six days a week... It's been continuous noise,' they said. 'Now that they've started on the build, it's a lot of hammering and the builders do like their loud music. 'And of course the parking. It's wasn't considerate to the neighbours in that it was six days, not five days. I'm not sure Andy Lee is aware of the continuous noise. 'I think there could have been more consideration to the neighbours... I didn't realise it was three stories.' The source went on to say the radio star and his partner invited all the neighbours over to the home before they began renovations in 2023. 'We had a meet with him at about Christmas before last. He did show all the drawings,' they said. 'We had champagne and canapés, but I don't think we were aware of the disruptions it would cause... It's certainly changed the street the last 18 months. 'It doesn't bother me too much, but I can understand everybody else's problems. I don't know how the people right next door to it can stand it.' Others said while construction has certainly been noisy and disruptive, they have grown used to the sound as there are often renovations happening on the street. 'We're going with it. It's been really noisy today. I don't know what they were doing. It changes all the time. We don't really have a complaint,' one person said. 'We know it's going to go on for years... We've had other builds go on in the street and they've taken years. We're used to that. I'm not going to complain. 'I can't understand why they're doing what they're doing. Why didn't they just live in the old house? Fix it up.' They added: 'The construction and the digging up of the ground, there has been big trucks... We're used to it.' Despite the constant noise and disruption to parking, other neighbours are glad someone has swooped in to fix up the old rundown home. 'It had gotten into a terrible state of disrepair before [Andy] started doing renovations. So it's actually looking better than it has looked for the last ten years,' one said. 'There were squatters there before. I think it's great that he's doing it. I wish it would be finished already. 'I think he's doing a great job. He's obviously not scrimping on costs... It's going to be better than the decrepit house that was there before. I think it's going to be beautiful.' Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Andy and Rebecca for comment. Andy and Rebecca have grand plans for their Italianate manor, with the planned renovation worth an estimated $5million having begun in 2023. The comedian has been hard at work on the derelict Melbourne mansion, called Ravenswood, he bought for $8.5million in 2021, in a Block-style rebuild.

'The noise is just horrendous,' the disgruntled neighbour told the publication. 'Some residents just leave—they go away for a week at a time and come back on the weekend.' The publication also reported residents are angry over construction noise which had continued for 26 weeks. The noise was due to piling reinforced steel pillars and it was also reported dust from 'constant' rock breaking, had coated the solar panels on nearby houses.

Close call! Former celebrity couple Megan Gale and Andy Lee narrowly avoid 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. The supermodel accessorised with a $5000 Louis Vuitton tote bag slung over her shoulder. 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 is nicely laid out and its the right cutlery... 'And I'm worried that [the wedding] is going to be that X a 1000.'
