Why Grey’s Anatomy star Kate Walsh moved to Australia

Hollywood actress Kate Walsh traded Tinsel Town for a quiet lifestyle in Western Australia after getting “stuck” Down Under and falling in love with an Aussie farmer. The Grey’s Anatomy star, who built a $30m ($US20m) fortune earning up to $262,000 ($US175,000) per episode, met farmer Andrew Nixon on a 2020 cruise before calling Perth home. Walsh, 58, was originally visiting Australia on holiday when Covid-19 travel restrictions stranded her in mid-2020. What began as an unexpected stay quickly turned permanent after the Private Practice star met Nixon. “I really love Western Australia … I think nature here eclipses everything,” Walsh told news.com.au. “I like the slowness. It’s really good for me. And then you go back overseas and you’re like, ‘Oh my god. People are insane.’” MORE: Dougie the Pizza Boy’s sad life after 90s ad Rick Moranis’ shock new life now at 73 ‘S**t’: Broke American Pie star’s shock fortune Grey’s Anatomy star Kate Walsh traded Tinsel Town for a quiet lifestyle in Western Australia.
