Cate Blanchett met Andrew Upton back in the 1990s. She always said that they had an instant connection, and she knew within a few weeks of knowing him that they would get married. They did get married and they are now the parents of four children: Dashiell John, Roman Robert, Ignatius Martin and their youngest, a daughter named Edith Vivian Patricia (they adopted Edith in 2015). I always thought Cate and Andrew’s marriage was totally solid. They never seemed to have any drama, and they worked together constantly, especially when they took over the Sydney Theatre Company for several years.
Last year, they moved to America on what seemed like a temporary basis. I suspected that Cate wanted to work more in film for a few years. They still keep a home in Sydney, and it seems that Andrew has been spending time at the Sydney home while Cate and the children are in America. And more than a week ago, a paparazzo got some photos of Andrew looking especially cozy with a young actress:
EXCLUSIVE: Cate Blanchett’s husband gets ‘very close’ with 27-year-old Harriet Dyer https://t.co/TH81hd0GCR pic.twitter.com/ACTvi8fFxd

Her name is Harriet Dyer. She’s 27. He’s 50. From Star Magazine:
Cate Blanchett knew Andrew Upton was The One after just three days of dating – and the two are set to celebrate their 19th wedding anniversary in December. Or are they? As Star has learned, Upton spent the evening of October 11 with actress Harriet Dyer at the Strawberry Hills pub in Sydney while Cate was thousands of miles away in NYC with their children.
“Drinks were flowing. Andrew and Harriet’s hands were all over the place,” reveals an onlooker, who watched the pair play a flirtatious game of pool in the company of friends at the local watering hole – just miles down the street from the home he shares with Cate and the kids.
“At one point, Harriet rested her head on Andrew’s chest and he wrapped his arm around her, whispering something in her ear.”
Upton has worked with Dyer on past productions at the Sydney Theatre Company – but as the pictures suggest, they may have gotten person. “Andrew and Harriet looked uncomfortable with the camera snapping away,” says the spy. “It they hadn’t spotted the photographer, who knows what might have happened? Even if it was innocent, it certainly left a bad impression.”

This story has been weaving its way through Aussie and British tabloids and media outlets for days now but so far, most American sites and outlets aren’t talking about it. It’s possible that Harriet is merely a family friend, a work colleague and a drinking buddy. It’s possible nothing untoward was happening. It’s also possible that Andrew Upton is a dog. Poor Cate.
This is Harriet. She’s pretty. And young. Cate Blanchett’s ruffles are going to cut a bitch.
