Yep, the 32-year-old previously dated Charlotte Best, who is most well-known for her role as Annie Campbell on Home and Away from 2007 to 2010.

An interview the former couple did with Elle magazine in 2015 resurfaced this week, which gives a glimpse into what their romance – which lasted from 2013 to 2016 – was like at the time.

The pair revealed they met after a mutual friend who had worked on both Home and Away and MasterChef set them up on an “awkward” blind date, before they quickly became inseparable.

Andy and Charlotte also shared how they spent much of their downtime.

“We both travel separately for work but are also very lucky to get to travel together a lot. Downtime is stagnant in both our careers and so far we have been able to make it work really well,” Charlotte said.

Andy added: “We are very family orientated, active, outdoor people so we spend most of our time with our family and friends or travelling.”

And while Charlotte admitted “eating” was one of their favourite activities to do together, Andy jokingly took aim at the Summer Bay starlet’s cooking skills.

“Charlotte has caused herself to be locked out of the kitchen on numerous occasions. She's hopeless. Sh-t hits the fan, literally. Char just bought me a pasta making machine, so I'd say my signature dish (at the moment), is pasta” he said.

While it’s unclear why the actress and the MasterChef judge split, they have both since moved on with their personal lives.

Charlotte went on to date Big Brother 2014 winner Ryan Ginns, although they have since called it quits.

While it's unclear while the couple called it quits, they have both moved on in their personal life since the break-up.

Meanwhile, Andy this week shared details of his engagement to Alex Davey in an interview with TV WEEK.

Revealing he proposed to his girlfriend-of-four-years while on holidays in New Zealand, Andy admitted he was a bundle of nerves.

"I was so scared about the ring going off in the scanner at the airport and having to drop down on one knee and propose in front of the security guards," he said.

Andy has since popped the question to his girlfriend of four years, Alex Davey (pictured).

Andy took Alex to a secluded headland and asked her to marry him.

"She was so shocked, she basically collapsed on my shoulder," Andy recalled. "I pretty much had to ask her if it was a 'yes'. She was very shocked."
