Newlyweds Andy Lee and Rebecca Harding have made their first public appearance since tying the knot at a secret wedding in New York, and it looks like married life agrees with them.

She paired the ensemble with a low profile black pillbox hat and a unique mini bag with an almost seashell-like silhouette.

The husband and wife duo were all smiles as they posed for the cameras and were constantly in contact, either holding hands or posing with their arms around each other.

What fans would have missed was one telling detail in the image listings for the couple’s photos on Getty Images: Harding is listed as Rebecca Lee.

It appears she may have changed her name after marrying Lee, though her Instagram and other public profiles are still in her maiden name.

Lee and Harding, who are building their “dream home”, announced their engagement in 2024 after a milestone 10 years together.

Two years later, they finally tied the knot at a star-studded celebration on the rooftop of the Nine Orchard hotel in Manhattan on October 13.

She accessorised with a bag and shoes from Jimmy Choo, and added an extra-special touch with her grandmother’s sapphire ring reset into a pendant that was attached to her bouquet.

Harding recently opened up to Vogue Australia about their three-day wedding celebrations, which included welcome drinks at Bemelmans Bar at The Carlyle on the Upper East Side.

“We love New York and have so many happy memories here, so it felt right to really lean into it,” she told the outlet.

“We wanted to take our guests to a few of our favourite spots around the city.”
