Delta Goodrem marries in secret ceremony

Delta Goodrem marries in secret ceremony

music star Delta Goodrem has tied the knot with her longtime love, Matthew Copley, in a magical and intimate wedding on the picturesque island of Malta.

The beloved singer, 40, and her guitarist partner, 38, reportedly exchanged vows on June 16 in front of close family and friends. Among the guests were some familiar faces, including Goodrem’s best friend Renee Bargh, Nine’s entertainment reporter Richard Wilkins and his son Christian, as well as Delta’s mum Lea and brother Trent.

The ceremony, described as star-studded yet deeply personal, took place at a location that holds special meaning for the couple. Malta was where Copley proposed in 2023 during a holiday that doubled as a family visit – and now, the idyllic European island is where they’ve officially begun married life together.

In true Delta and Matthew style, the couple have so far kept the happy news off their social media accounts, choosing to celebrate privately rather than in the spotlight. It’s a decision that reflects their approach to their relationship, which Goodrem has described as grounded in “respect and love”.

The pair, who have been together since 2017, are more than just romantic partners – they’re also creative collaborators. Copley, a talented musician in his own right, is a member of Goodrem’s band, and fans have long admired the chemistry the two share on stage.

Back when they announced their engagement, Goodrem delighted followers with a simple but heartfelt post: “My best friend asked me to marry him.” Speaking later on the Something To Talk About podcast, the singer revealed that their European tour at the time turned into a kind of rolling engagement celebration: “It was beautiful – because it felt like we’d done an engagement party in every single city.”

Goodrem, who has had several high-profile relationships in the past, has made a conscious choice in recent years to keep her love life out of the headlines. “I made a choice that I’m not even going to comment ‘yes’ or ‘no’ … I’ve said nothing for three or four years,” she shared in an earlier interview.

What has always been clear is the depth of her connection with Copley. “He’s my best friend, he’s kind and just a beautiful human being. I’m very lucky. It’s all very natural and I think that comes from a beautiful respect and love. I feel so grateful,” Goodrem has said.

Fans around the world will no doubt be overjoyed at the news and wish the happy couple a lifetime of love, music and adventure.
