Andy El Bayeh and Harriet Williams have reportedly gone their separate ways after two years of marriage.
The popular Eastern Suburbs couple tied the knot in a fairytale $1million wedding in March 2022 after four years together, but are now believed to have split up.
Publicist Andy and kinesiologist Harriet are said to have abruptly ended their six-year-long relationship earlier this month during a European holiday.
Sources close to the couple confirmed the separation to the Daily Telegraph, with the reports shocking Sydney’s social set.
The couple had been posting very loved-up images together as recently as the start of August as they travelled around Greece and Italy.
Andy last posted a photograph with Harriet just two weeks ago, when they attended their friends’ Mario Kalpou and Danielle Louise’s wedding in Mykonos.
However, the pair have since unfollowed each other on Instagram amid reports of their very sudden break-up.
Cosy photographs and gushing tributes to each other currently remain on each other’s social media pages.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Andy and Harriet for comment.
Andy is the chief creative officer and founder of creative agency Example, while Harriet is a kinesiologist at Inner Remedy and comes from a wealthy Sydney family.
Andy, who used to work as Merivale’s Director of Marketing, and Harriet had been dating for four years before they tied the knot.
Andy launched an elaborate scheme to propose to Harriet, disguising his plan as his 31st birthday bash before turning the event into a wild engagement party.
His beloved dog Max was involved in the romantic moment after Andy dressed the pooch in a collar embroidered with the big, all-important question on it.
‘I completely lost my composure,’ Harriet previously told Vogue Australia of the sweet proposal.
The couple then tied the knot in a lavish three-day forest wedding in the Southern Highlands in March 2022 in a ceremony which reportedly set them back $1million.
The epic 72-hour-long event kicked off with a welcome drinks held in the historic halls of Osborn House as their loved ones gathered to celebrate with them.
The couple then tied the knot on the grounds of the Wollumbi Estate, with Andy and Harriet exchanging vows underneath a picture-perfect forest canopy.
The fairytale nuptials, which featured in Vogue Australia, was complete with a 20-piece orchestra led by conductor Dan Fontaine.
Harriet walked down the aisle while being serenaded by Sebastien Tellier’s La Ritournelle in what she later described as a ‘surreal’ and ‘magical’ moment.
‘The styling of the wedding was inspired by the magic of nature,’ Harriet told Vogue Australia at the time. ‘It was all about the florals and forest.’
Over the three day celebrations, Harriet sported an array of luxury bridal gowns, including a Vivienne Westwood dress for the welcome drinks.
She sported a robe from Olivia von Halle on the morning of her wedding before slipping into a stunning custom gown designed by Marina Didovich and Harriet herself.
Harriet, who used to be a stylist, sported another two evening gowns for the reception – a 40s-style beaded dress by Steven Khalil and a blue dress by Paolo Sebastian.
Among the guest list on the big day were the likes of influencer Ruby Tuesday Matthews, Nadia Fairfax, TV personality Renee Bargh, DJ Jordy Burrows and model Tash Oakley.
