Delta Goodrem ties the knot with fiancé Matthew Copley in star-studded Maltese wedding
Delta Goodrem has tied the knot with her partner of six years, Matthew Copley, in a star-studded wedding on the island nation of Malta. The Australian singer and actress, 40, and Matthew, 38, who is a guitarist, said "I do" in picturesque Europe last Monday, according to New Idea. The high-profile couple's celebrity pals, including entertainer Renee Bargh, TV presenter Richard Wilkins and his son Christian, as well as Delta's mother, Lea, and brother, Trent, joined them at the celebration. The magical location where the nuptials occurred is significant to the couple, as it's where Matthew first got down on one knee two years ago. The Born to Try hitmaker once addressed the location's significance by claiming, 'My partner's family is all from Malta'. After the wedding, photos obtained by New Idea show the couple continued to celebrate with family and friends at a seaside beach club. Delta, with her sandy blonde hair styled in loose waves, beamed as she flashed her signature smile and wedding band while embracing guests. She then slipped into a more comfortable electric blue swimsuit, which she accessorised with a white and black sarong and gold jewellery. Delta took a dip in the Mediterranean waters while at the afterparty, no doubt revelling in the joy of being a newly married couple with Copley. The bride and groom are understood to now be continuing their celebration with a romantic honeymoon through Europe. The musicians are likely to still find the time to make music together throughout their travels, which Delta once said bound them together. 'It's a love language for us,' Delta told Stellar in May. 'Music is how we met; it's what we both do. "I have an amazing partner, and we live a good life, and we get to tour the world doing what we love.' Speculation is rife Delta and Matthew got legally married in Australia some weeks ago after she was spotted with a wedding band on her ring finger during a performance in London in May. If the rumours are true, the newlyweds have been officially married for a month but decided to celebrate with their loved ones in Malta on Monday. Delta has been officiating her wedding plans for a while now and kicked things off with a hen's party in Sydney's Palm Beach in April. The singer boarded a luxury yacht in the suburb on the city's Northern Beaches, where she was joined by her close friends, including former Nine presenter Airlie Walsh and Renee Bargh. Delta and Matthew, who are based in Los Angeles, are believed to have met through their mutual friend, fellow Aussie singer Conrad Sewell. In 2023, the couple launched their own record label, ATLED Records. Delta was previously engaged to Irish singer Brian McFadden and has been romantically linked to both Mark Philippoussis and Nick Jonas. The Sydney-born performer has previously said she values deep, lasting relationships, and she and Matthew effortlessly intertwine this into their lives. "I'm somebody who loves to go deeper," Delta told HELLO! magazine in 2020. "I'm all about long-term friendships and relationships, and I love those people with all my heart. "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."

Pierce Brosnan trades licence to kill for sheriff's badge in revenge tale
The Unholy Trinity ★★★ MA (15+), 93 minutes A Western starring Pierce Brosnan and Samuel L. Jackson promises to be a decent enough time, at the very least. And that is exactly what this revenge tale, with a significant (though far from obvious) Australian component, delivers – a decent enough time. Absolutely nothing in The Unholy Trinity comes as a surprise. Almost everything feels like something you've seen or heard before ('they kilt ma brother', says one chap-wearing villain seconds after the saloon has fallen silent upon the entry of his posse). Even the name echoes the Terence Hill-Bud Spencer Trinity films from the 1970s. But while there are some flashes of wry humour dotted throughout – can a movie with Jackson ever not have at least a little twinkle in its eye? – this is mostly a straight-shooting exercise in genre. Not that it doesn't try to surprise with its convoluted revenge plot sprinkled with dollops of Civil War, slavery, indigenous land rights and religion. Henry Broadway (Brandon Lessard) arrives at the gallows just in time to hear his father proclaim he is innocent of the crime for which he's about to swing. The true villain, he insists, is the sheriff of a town called Trinity. Duly entrusted with a mission of vengeance, Henry rides to Trinity and pulls a gun on the lawman in church. Trouble is, it's the wrong sheriff; the man who killed his Pa is dead. In his place is Gabriel Dove (Brosnan), whose message is one of peace (nominal determinism, much?). That said, he's not averse to using a rifle to enforce it. There's a faction in the town convinced that the old sheriff was murdered by a Blackfoot woman (Q'orianka Kilcher) who lives out in the wilds, and they want to hunt her down. Dove is convinced she's innocent, and does all he can to protect her.
