Project host Hamish Macdonald appeared dejected as he walked out of his $3.8million Sydney home on Wednesday.
The 40-year-old journalist didn’t smile as he took a solo stroll down his street, days after police were called to his home following noise complaints about an “eight o’clock” party on Saturday night.
It is believed that Hamish hosted the gathering at his posh three-bedroom home in Paddington to celebrate his marriage to longtime partner Jacob Fitzroy.

During the outing, Hamish kept his head down as requested on the road in a black T-shirt, trousers and boots.
He had a stern look on his face as he walked out of the house, at one point, placing his head in his hands as he took in some fresh air.
At least two NSW police officers were called to the scene after complaints from neighbors over the weekend who described Macdonald’s party as ‘intrusively loud’.

‘It’s so loud. Six hours so far. I have a headache,’ a disgruntled resident who lives on the same street told Daily Mail Australia as the party was still in full swing.
They added the next morning: “It was torture for eight hours. If I had known, we would have gone to the Southern Highlands for the weekend with the kids.
Another neighbor said the speeches they heard at Macdonald’s made it sound like it was a reception for a wedding.

“I heard the speeches, but not word for word. The music was deafening like it was in my own house. Every piece,” they said.
According to an eyewitness, the music “suddenly went off at 11:54 p.m.”, just three minutes after officers attended Macdonald’s property.
Police confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that officers were called to the home.
Loud: At least two officers were called to the scene after complaints from residents of Paddington. Meanwhile, a neighbor said speeches heard at Macdonald’s home sounded like it was a reception for a wedding, leading to rumors that Fitzroy and Fitzroy (left) were married.
Macdonald was seen wearing a ring on his wedding finger on The Project three months ago, leading to rumors he had secretly married Fitzroy.
Although he didn’t draw much attention in the ring during the broadcast, viewers were quick to speculate that he may have finally made the deal with his partner.
Macdonald is known to be extremely private when it comes to his personal life and quit social media altogether in 2020.

The former Q&A host came out publicly as gay in June 2019 when he held hands with Fitzroy at the GQ Gentlemen’s Ball.
He later said that the outpouring of support he received afterwards “was so deeply touching”.
Fitzroy first appeared on Macdonald’s Instagram account in April that year, posing alongside the Channel 10 star and friends Joanna Jolly and Lisa Millar.

Macdonald was once reduced to tears when describing their special relationship.
“He’s my best friend and I feel extremely lucky to share our lives together,” he said on The Project.
‘He’s… I got a little emotional. He really is the best person I know. He makes life pretty fun. I had no idea such happiness was possible.
