Delta Goodrem usually keeps tight-lipped about her private life but when it comes to her boyfriend, now-fiancé Matthew Copley, there are a few things we know.
The 38-year-old singer-songwriter has dated high-profile stars including Nick Jonas and Brian McFadden, but has been dating fellow musician Copley for around six years.
In early 2018, Goodrem and Copley were photographed kissing in Hawaii but it wasn’t until January 2019 when the couple went Instagram official and it was revealed they had rung in the new year together with friends in Byron Bay.
In a chat with Stellar Magazine in May 2020, Goodrem spoke candidly about her relationship and how they spent time together during lockdown.
“I am pretty consistent with saying to people that my private life is my private life, but we are spending isolation together and, in our household, we’re both performers,” she explained.
“It’s a relationship of respect. Matt is an incredible musician and we really enjoy working together. Music is how we met, it’s what we both do, so it’s really about just being creative in the household.”
Goodrem, who was just 15 when her career kicked off, also told the publication that though she knows public interest in her personal life comes with the job, she decided years ago that she wouldn’t let anyone’s thoughts about her romantic life define her.
“It’s also about me understanding who I was, without other people telling me who I was,” she says.
When the world went into lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, Goodrem and Copley didn’t let that stop their love of music.
The couple hosted The Bunkerdown Sessions on Instagram and for 25 weeks from April through to October, they hosted a series of free online performances featuring brand new songs.
Copley has also co-produced and co-written several of Goodrem’s hits including Solid Gold, Let It Rain and Keep Climbing.
“Very proud to see this out in the world, and very thankful for @deltagoodrem including me in this incredible journey!” Copley wrote in May 2020 when Keep Climbing was released.
“This song is really special and Delta sounds stunning on it!”
Though we don’t know much more about Copley, Goodrem told WHO in 2020 what she finds sexy in a partner as part of WHO’s Sexiest People issue for 2020.
“I find kindness and authenticity to be some of the sexiest characteristics of a great partner and relationship,” she revealed.
The couple have remained pretty private in recent years, however, Copley does pop up in a few posts on Goodrem’s Instagram account here and there.
In September 2023 Goodrem announced she was engaged!
Keeping it short and sweet, Goodrem shared a few photos from the moment Copley popped the question in Malta, captioning the post: “My best friend asked me to marry him 💍”
“My forever love!” replied Copley, who also shared a post to his Instagram account alongside the caption, “She said yes !! 💍.”
Giving a rare insight into her relationship in a February 2024 interview with Sunrise, Goodrem revealed she and her fiance had celebrated a romantic Valentines Day together and she had been trying on wedding dresses.
“It’s definitely on our minds (the wedding) — we’re looking forward to that moment.” she told the show, before revealing more about how the pair spent Valentines Day that year.
“We celebrated having a new song out, and we also went to a really nice dinner and just enjoyed the day,” she said.
“We’re a little bit jet-lagged as we just got over (to London) from LA, where we’ve been working in the studio.”
