The ex-girlfriend of Brian McFadden, Delta Goodrem, has married partner Matthew Copley in a wedding in Malta.
Neighbours star Delta and Brian dated for seven years and got engaged before their split in April 2011.
Delta, best known for starring in Neighbours and her long-running role as a coach on The Voice Australia, tied the knot on the island of Malta on Monday (June 16).
Delta Goodrem ties the knot
Delta, 40, married Matthew earlier this week following his proposal back in 2023, according to New Idea. The Innocent Eyes hitmaker met Matthew, her guitarist and musical collaborator, back in 2017.
Among the guests were Delta’s mother and brother, Aussie reporter Renee Bargh and TV star Richard Wilkins.
The island has some special significance for the couple, as it’s where Matthew popped the question.
In a YouTube video, Delta explained that Malta is an important place for Matthew as his “family are all from Malta and many of my band members and backup singers also share Maltese heritage”.

Delta in ‘family fairytale wedding’
In a new wedding update shared today (July 10), Delta shared photos from her gorgeous wedding for the first time on Instagram.
The stunning ceremony was held at the historic St. Paul’s Cathedral. Delta looked like a complete vision, wearing a floor-length dress with lace sleeves. She opted for a veil while wearing her long locks down, but pinned back behind her ears.
“June 2025, Husband and Wife,” she wrote in her caption.
“It was more magical than we both could have dreamed. We said I do under the Maltese skies in a family fairytale wedding brought to life by so many angels surrounding us. We are holding on to every memory from that moment, the love, the laughter, the happy tears and dancing till the sun came up,” Delta continued.
She revealed the couple “can’t wait to come back to Australia and celebrate as Mr & Mrs”. Delta also thanked everyone who helped make their dream wedding come to life.
She also gave gratitude to all her family from “around the world” who attended.
Vogue Australia exclusively covered the wedding and revealed that the designer and her creative partner, Paul Vasileff, designed all three of her bridal dresses.
“Paolo Sebastian’s designs are defined by their fairytale elegance, meticulous craftsmanship, and a deeply romantic sensibility—exactly what I wanted. We came up with a stunning gown that was structured, yet still delicate and feminine. It was a statement piece but a fairytale dress. The sweeping train and the tulle cathedral veil perfectly suited the style of the wedding and the surroundings,” Delta told the magazine.
“I wanted to feel like myself on the day. That was really important to me. The look needed to feel grounded amongst the fairytale.”
Within an hour of sharing the photos with fans, Delta’s hubby took to the comments section and wrote: “Best day of our life!! love you my wife.”
Fans also rushed to share their congratulations.
‘Absolutely beaming for you both!’
“Congratulations you gorgeous royalty,” one user wrote.
“So happy for you. You look absolutely AMAZING,” another person shared.
“Complete and utter perfection! Absolutely beaming for you both!” a third remarked.
“Omg so gorgeous. You’re always such a beam of light and deserve all the happiness in the world,” a fourth said.
“The true incarnation of happiness! Congratulations and a lot of love,” another echoed.
Delta on her romance with Matthew
The singer shared news of their engagement on her Instagram two years ago. “My best friend asked me to marry him,” she wrote, posting a picture of the happy couple watching the sunset together. She also posted a video of a string quartet playing on a lawn strewn with flower petals. She then zoomed in on the engagement ring.
Though quite private about her personal life, Delta did open up about her romance with Matthew during an interview with HELLO! in 2020.
“When Matt and I work together, it’s really easy to go straight to the core of our feelings because we’re living and breathing life together all the time. It’s wonderful to work with him,” she said.
Delta and Brian McFadden
Before Delta was with Matthew, she enjoyed a romance with Westlife star Brian McFadden. The couple began dating in 2004, two years after Delta shot to fame with her role in iconic soap Neighbours.
Their romance began shortly after Brian had split from Kerry Katona and Delta had split from tennis player Mark Philippoussis. They met when Brian asked her to provide vocals for his song, Almost Here. The song was a hit, reaching the top of the charts in Ireland and Australia.
However, their romance generated some bad press for Delta, who was seen by some as coming between Kerry and Brian’s marriage.
Speaking in the Sydney Morning Herald in 2014, she said: “I’m pretty sure I got voted the most hated woman in Britain one year.”
They got engaged in 2007, however, it wasn’t to last, with the couple splitting in 2011.
