Delta Goodrem has been in the spotlight since she was young, thanks to her incredible singing voice, impressive songwriting skills and various forays into acting (most notably, Delta played Nina Tucker on Neighbours).
But despite living most of her life in the public eye, Delta has wisely kept her love life rather private… Case in point: Delta’s been in a relationship with her current partner, Matthew Copley, for six years and yet, has never spoken about him in great detail or made a red carpet debut with him.
In fact, when The Weekly last sat down with Delta, she – understandably – didn’t want to talk too much about Matthew and, when asked about him, very politely explained:
“He’s my guitarist, I met him through music. It’s incredible to be on stage with him because he’s so talented. We really are a team. He’s my best friend, he’s kind and just a beautiful human being. But I learnt quite young that I enjoy keeping part of that private.
“I’ve always been so understanding that I’ve lived in the public eye since I was a teenager but also I think it’s nice to keep some things to yourself.”
Of course, Delta has made her engagement with Matthew on September 21, 2023, Insta-official in a holiday post from Malta, and over the years, she has offered her fans small glimpses into their relationship. Here are some of couple’s sweetest moments together.

Delta and Matthew began dating in 2017 but waited until 2018 to go public with their relationship; they both shared this snap on Instagram on New Year’s Eve in 2018.
