Delta Goodrem marries in secret ceremony

<p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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”.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.”</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Fans around the world will no doubt be overjoyed at the news and wish the happy couple a lifetime of love, music and adventure.</p> <p><em>Images: Instagram</em></p>

Michael Hutchence's daughter marries in intimate ceremony

<p>Wedding bells chimed with joy in East London this weekend as Tiger Lily Hutchence, daughter of the late Paula Yates and INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, tied the knot with longtime love Ben Archer in a beautifully intimate ceremony.</p> <p>The couple, who began dating in 2023, celebrated their love surrounded by close friends and family in a cozy restaurant with just 30 guests in attendance. The chic, low-key celebration was filled with warmth, laughter, and love – the perfect reflection of the couple’s bond.</p> <p>Among the guests were Tiger Lily’s adoptive father, Bob Geldof, and her sisters, Pixie and Fifi, making the day a heartfelt family affair. The guest list also had a touch of rock royalty, with her godfather, musician Nick Cave, joining the festivities.</p> <p>“Tiger Lily and Ben had a very chic, very low-key wedding on Saturday,” a source revealed to <em>The Sun</em>. “It was a beautiful day and, after the service, they all sat down to have a meal together.”</p> <p>The newlyweds are also preparing for another exciting chapter – the arrival of their first child. Friends shared that the couple was eager to exchange vows before welcoming their new addition later this year.</p> <p>“This is a huge year for Tiger Lily and Ben,” a source added. “Getting married in front of their nearest and dearest was the cherry on top for them.”</p> <p>Despite growing up in the shadow of tragedy – having lost both her parents at a young age and her sister Peaches in 2014 – Tiger Lily has carved a life of quiet creativity. After spending time here in Australia, where she released her debut album "Tragic Tiger’s Sad Meltdown", she returned to London and now lives with Ben, a model.</p> <p>Reflecting on her musical journey, Tiger Lily once said, “Most of the songs are about my sister, Peaches, who I lost as a teenager... but my band always made me feel held.”</p> <p>Now, with love, music and a growing family at her side, it seems Tiger Lily Hutchence has found her own harmony – and her happily ever after.</p> <p><em>Images: Instagram</em></p>

<p>Aussie medallist Matthew Denny has explained the sweet reason why he missed the Paris 2024 closing ceremony after winning a bronze medal in the men's discus throw event. </p> <p>The athlete spoke with T<em>oday Extra</em> and explained the romantic reason why he missed the special event.</p> <p>"I feel bad, but I didn't end up going to the Closing; I decided [my wife] Mia was going to be by herself, and I need to give back some time to her because ... it's been a pretty brutal 12 months for her," he said.</p> <p>"So I thought it was really important that we had a nice dinner, and we obviously watched the Closing Ceremony, but I just wanted to give her some time." </p> <p>After flying back from Paris to Australia, the athlete said that he had a training session to attend so that he can "finish the year off strong." </p> <p>Denny won third place in the men's discuss throw event, throwing for 69.31 metres on his second attempt of the final. </p> <p>"I'm just thankful that people always back me. To those who didn't think I was going to do it... eat it!" he said to <em>Wide World of Sports </em>following his win. </p> <p>"It's something I'm so proud of, what I do, I get to live an amazing life. I have a great family and support team.</p> <p>"Before I went into this competition, I watched back the Qantas ad we did. I just want to see those people again before I went in here.</p> <p>"I know that's who I'm doing it for. So... yeah, thank you to you guys for supporting me."</p> <p>Despite his win, the athlete is aiming for gold as he hopes to compete again in the Brisbane Olympics. </p> <p>"I can't not be proud of my performance, but the inner critic wants more, and I know there's more there," he said.</p> <p>"To get a medal is amazing but the critic is still there in me. We'll go again. My goal is to get to Brisbane in 2032."</p> <p><em>Image: Xinhua News Agency/ Shutterstock Editorial</em></p>

Man arrested for climbing Eiffel Tower before closing ceremony

<p>A British man has been arrested after climbing the Eiffel Tower just hours before the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics was due to commence. </p> <p>Shocked onlookers were horrified when they spotted the shirtless man scaling the 330m structure with no harness, as he stood on top of the blue Olympic ring before continuing his dangerous ascent.</p> <p>Incredible footage of the dangerous stunt, which was posted to X, shows him reaching halfway up the giant landmark with just a bag of chalk to help him, as he was not supported by any ropes or harnesses. </p> <p>Other videos shows the free climber being taken away in handcuffs by French police as tourists looked on from the viewing platform.</p> <p>The Paris Prosecutor’s office confirmed to <em>The Sun</em> the man was British and has been charged with endangering others and intrusion into a historic or cultural site.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">someone was trying to climb up Eiffel Tower after the Olympics, he was detained by police shortly after 💀<a href="https://t.co/m1oRWsKYeX">pic.twitter.com/m1oRWsKYeX</a></p> <p>— ryan 🤿 (@scubaryan_) <a href="https://twitter.com/scubaryan_/status/1822685874691444924?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 11, 2024</a></p></blockquote> <p>A Paris police spokesman said: “At 2.45pm, an individual was seen climbing the Eiffel Tower.

Tom Cruise steals the show at epic Paris 2024 Closing Ceremony

<p>As the Olympic flame was extinguished to signal the Paris 2024 Games officially closed, a surprising famous face stole the show at the epic closing ceremony. </p> <p>In true Olympics style, as the French capital wrapped up their Games, they passed the torch to the 2028 host city Los Angeles, who were having their own celebratory concert. </p> <p>To help in the handover, acting legend Tom Cruise, who is famous for doing many of his own stunts, came in with a skydiving stunt reminiscent of his <em>Mission Impossible</em> films that saw him swing from atop Stade de France before touching down on the stadium’s field.</p> <p>The 62-year-old actor greeted athletes as he walked toward the stage to the final guitar shreds of the American national anthem, as the crowd erupted in cheers. </p> <p>He received the Olympic flag from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and gymnast Simone Biles, then strapped it safely to the back of a motorcycle and rode off into the sunset, which switched into a pre-recorded video that tracked his journey to Hollywood.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Thank you, Paris! Now off to LA. <a href="https://t.co/MxlAb0hZbT">pic.twitter.com/MxlAb0hZbT</a></p> <p>— Tom Cruise (@TomCruise) <a href="https://twitter.com/TomCruise/status/1822749650463732136?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 11, 2024</a></p></blockquote> <p>In the video, Cruise sped down the streets of Paris on the motorcycle, passing landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, and cruised onto a waiting airplane.</p> <p>"I'm on my way," he said, as he put on skydiving gear, as he then leapt from the plane and headed to the iconic Hollywood sign, where he turned the "O"s into Olympic rings before passing the flag off to Olympic cyclist Kate Courtney.</p> <p>The Olympics wrapped up with USA winning over overall medal tally with an impressive 126 medals, followed closely by China in second place and Japan in third place. </p> <p>Australia wasn't far behind in fourth place, as Nine commentary applauded the Aussie athletes for their most successful games ever.</p> <p>"The theme of the Closing Ceremony tonight: record," Eddie Maguire said in commentary for Nine.</p> <p>"It was a record performance by our Australian athletes. Paris provided record crowds, record ratings around the world on all platforms of media."</p> <p>"Paris, merci beaucoup, au revoir. See you in four years when the City of Angels welcomes the world to the city of dreams for LA 2028."</p> <p><em>Image credits: Nine Network </em></p>
