Inside Delta Goodrem and Matthew Copley's A-list nuptials: Singer strips down to a swimsuit as newlyweds enjoy a post-wedding party in Malta with their celebrity friends
Delta Goodrem and her new husband Matthew Copley were the picture of wedded bliss as they enjoyed a recovery party with their family and celebrity friends in Malta on Tuesday, after tying the knot in a romantic ceremony the day before.
The couple let their hair down at a luxury beach club alongside Richard Wilkins and his girlfriend Mia Hawkswell, his son Christian and Today show host Renee Bargh.
Delta, 40, looked glamorous in a striking cobalt blue swimsuit paired with a sheer white sarong wrapped around her waist as she went for a dip with the group.
She accessoried with black designer shades and several diamond and gold bracelets and necklaces.
Her most striking accessory, of course, was her massive diamond engagement and wedding rings.

Her new husband Matthew, meanwhile, looked handsome in a crisp white polo shirt and slick sunglasses.
Also joining the couple for the beach day, were several famous faces from Delta's inner circle, including her mother Lea and brother Trent.
TV presenter Renee Bargh - a longtime close friend of the singer - was also seen taking a dip with Delta in a chic cream bikini.
Also hitting the surf was entertainment editor Richard Wilkins, 71, who stripped down to a pair of black-and-white striped boardies as he strolled across the beach with girlfriend Mia Hawkswell by his side.
The Nine Network veteran looked relaxed and ready to party as he joined the festivities.
Wilkins' 30-year-old influencer son Christian was also in attendance, and the flamboyant style icon flaunted his six-pack abs in a pair of tiny black Speedos as he cooled off in the water.
Meanwhile, former Nine journalist Airlie Walsh was stylish in black gown with a thigh-high split paired with chic white framed sunglasses.
She looked every inch the doting mum as she carried her two-year-old son Peter in her arms.

Guests at the ultra-private wedding reportedly received detailed schedules months in advance, with the celebration marking the culmination of a two-year planning process.
Delta and Matthew officially said 'I do' – in the most romantic setting imaginable.
The Australian pop princess married her longtime love and guitarist in the same country where the couple got engaged last year.
The wedding, which took place on Monday was an extravagant multi-day celebration attended by the couple's nearest and dearest.
The star-studded nuptials had reportedly been two years in the making, with guests receiving detailed schedules ahead of the big day.

The Innocent Eyes hitmaker enjoyed her hen's party in Sydney back on April 26, surrounded by close friends before jetting overseas for the lavish affair.
The singer recently wrapped up a series of exclusive shows in the UK to mark 20 years since her iconic Mistaken Identity album, but it wasn't just her singing that had people talking.
Delta, who has remained private about her personal life, got engaged to Matthew, her guitarist and musical collaborator, in September 2023.
'My best friend asked me to marry him,' she giddily captioned the image, alongside a ring emoji.
Delta also shared footage of the precious moment to the social media platform.
Malta holds a particularly special place in Goodrem's heart - Not only was it the setting for her romantic engagement to Copley, but it also boasts deep personal and professional ties for the singer.
In a video shared on YouTube in 2023, Delta opened up about her bond with the southern European nation.
'My partner's family are all from Malta,' she said, before adding that many of her longtime band members and backup singers also share Maltese heritage.

12 best flip flops to nail this summer's minimalist shoe trend
Once reserved for beach holidays, the humble flip flop has had a makeover for summer 2025. From stylish leather iterations and chunky silhouettes to jelly materials and thong heels, the latest flip flops are just as wearable in the city as they are at the seaside. Riding the Y2K revival, the flip flop had a moment in the sun a few years ago when chunky silhouettes and platform soles were the fashion fixation. The latest revival nods to the Nineties, with barely-there styles, leather fabrics and summer-ready shades. Poster girls from the decade like Caroline Basset Kennedy and Jennifer Aniston styled theirs with straight leg jeans or slip dresses, while designers like Calvin Klein and Jean Paul Gaultier even sent flip flops down the runway. But we have The Row to thank for the humble flip flop's return to fashion royalty. Everyone from Kendall Jenner to Zoe Kravitz has worn the luxury fashion label's Ginza or rubber styles, styling with a summer dress or tailored trousers. Equally minimalist but far more in budget, Havaianas are having a renaissance (yes, the rubber sandals from your childhood family holidays). Trending styles can barely stay in stock after Gigi Hadid collaborated with the brand. Completing your summer capsule wardrobe, slimline flip flops are the perfect minimalist complement to an oversized shirt, wide-leg linen trousers or maxi sun dress. All that's left to do is book a pedicure. How we tested From affordable high street takes to investment pairs, I've tried and tested the best flip flops to invest in this summer and beyond. Whether it's an everyday staple, a practical beach pair or elevated style for evening attire, I wore these flip flops on holiday, in the city, to smart events and even on a dog walk. Considering cost-per-wear, aesthetic, quality, and, of course, comfort, these are the best flip flops to invest in right now. Why you can trust IndyBest reviews Daisy Lester is a senior shopping writer at The Independent. She specialises in reviewing fashion, so she knows what makes a well-crafted, comfortable and on-trend shoe. Where flip flops are concerned, she turns to the best brands that combine affordability and quality, looking for trend-led styles that are still a timeless investment. The best flip flops for 2025 are:

Deborra-Lee Furness goes makeup free as she rides an electric scooter in New York - after talk she may write tell all book about Hugh Jackman split
Deborra-Lee Furness appeared to be moving on with her life as she stepped out in New York on Wednesday. The Australian actress rode an electric scooter around the trendy area of Soho while wearing a helmet. The 69-year-old went makeup free for the outing, pulled her blonde hair off her face to tuck under the head gear. Deborra-Lee opted for a black shirt under a matching hoodie along with a pair of three quarter tights. She completed her look with a pair of sneakers and carried a phone in a bright yellow case. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes reports that Deborra-Lee is planning to release a no-holds-barred 'divorce diary' detailing her painful split from Hugh Jackman and the heartbreak that followed. The rumours claim she is currently documenting her emotional roller-coaster journey, with plans to publish the memoir once her divorce from the Wolverine star is legally finalised. 'Deb's been desperate to have her side of the story out there,' an alleged source told New Idea. 'She's been writing down all her thoughts, the good and the bad, and logging every detail of this ugly roller-coaster divorce. As soon as her lawyers allow it, she will be talking to publishers about a deal.' The revelations come just weeks after Deb filed official divorce papers, ending her 27-year marriage to Hugh, 55, and issuing a powerful public statement where she spoke of her 'traumatic journey of betrayal'. Deborra-Lee earlier opened up about her feelings of 'betrayal' in a blistering statement to the Daily Mail. Hugh and Deborra-Lee's split appeared to turn bitter when she spoke about her 'traumatic journey of betrayal' in the wake of her divorce filing last month. 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she said. 'It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.' She continued: 'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. 'I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.' She concluded her statement with the 'one thing' she has learned, which is 'that none of this is personal.' Deb's emotional declaration signalled a turning point in what had largely been a quiet and dignified separation - until now. Sources claim that while Deb is remaining composed publicly, behind closed doors she's preparing to reclaim her narrative with a raw and honest memoir that could shine a spotlight on Jackman's new romance with Broadway star Sutton Foster. The New Idea insider added that the actress won't be holding back: 'She won't be silenced. This is her truth.' Meanwhile, tensions are said to be rising between Jackman and Foster, 50, as he pushes to integrate his new partner into the family unit he once shared with Deb. The Aussie actor is reportedly eager for Sutton to form a bond with his and Deborra-Lee's adopted children - Oscar, 25, and Ava, 19 - but the process hasn't been smooth. 'Sutton begged Hugh to stop forcing the situation,' a source claimed to New Idea, adding that the Broadway star is keen to delay any introductions until the divorce is officially settled. 'It was Oscar's birthday recently and Ava's is coming up in July and Hugh couldn't see an issue with wanting to include his other half,' the insider explained. 'But Sutton's anxious about rushing things and believes it's too soon.' Foster, who also shares an adopted daughter, Emily, 7, with ex-husband Ted Griffin, is said to be treading carefully, especially with the shadow of Deb's scathing comments still lingering. The cracks in the Jackman-Furness split were further exposed last week when Hugh was spotted out in public for the first time since Deb's explosive statement, fuelling rumours that the once amicable separation has turned bitter behind the scenes. If Deborra-Lee's book plans go ahead, it's likely to be one of the most anticipated celebrity memoirs in years - and with decades of Hollywood secrets, personal struggles, and a headline-grabbing split to unpack, publishers will no doubt be lining up.

Hailey Bieber tells Justin to ‘stop being a f***ing child' after strip club photos & says he's ‘raw meat for lions'
JUSTIN Bieber's first Father's Day should have been a joyous family occasion - filled with love, gushing sentiments and quality time with his son. But instead, insiders say relations between the singer and his wife Hailey Bieber have never been worse - and the day ended in a bitter explosion of words and emotions. 11 What should have been a very special time ended with 'beyond furious' Hailey pleading with her husband to get help and left feeling like she is banging her head against a wall, according to an insider. Troubled Justin, 31, who married Hailey in 2018, sparked concern as he shared a series of private messages and then a raw statement about his struggles with anger, healing and self-worth. There was no tribute to his boy Jack and no mention of Hailey other than to apparently brand her a 'lil ho' in a Father's Day post to himself as he showed off two Prada backpacks, a new MacBook, and a watch - reportedly leaving the model and new mum exploding at him, begging him to 'stop being a f***ing child'. An insider close to the couple said the outburst has once again rocked them - and their timing, just months after he was pictured in a strip club, has sent Hailey to the edge. 'He keeps shutting her out' There are fears in both camps that Justin is on the verge of a breakdown as he posts incoherent messages online and poses with drug paraphernalia. The insider told us: 'The post really set her off — she told him it was one of the dumbest things he's ever done like 'feeding raw meat to a pack of lions who want to eat you alive.' "She's frustrated. She's trying to help him, but he just keeps shutting her out.' They continued: 'She's really angry that Justin is airing his issues on social media — his bad moments, his struggles, his weaknesses—for the whole world to see. She didn't agree with it at all. She thinks it's a stupid move. 'She feels like he's digging himself a hole. Posting about his life like this only makes things worse. She's begged him to stay off social media for a while, to lay low, regroup, and focus on getting to a better place mentally. 'But he keeps doing things his way, and she feels pushed aside — like she's no longer a part of his decision-making. It's heartbreaking for her to watch.' Fans have been left concerned by Justin's increasingly unhinged appearances, which coincided with the build-up to his former mentor Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial. Hailey, 28, is no stranger to Justin's antics and wants him to 'bounce back', but insiders say she knows he's 'broken'. 'She's been telling him that for a while, but it's like talking to a wall. He refuses to change." 'He seems to thrive on it' Another insider close to the couple reiterated Hailey's wish to help him and get him to see someone about his issues. They said: 'She's been telling him for a while to get help — see a therapist, talk to someone who can help him manage his anger and mood swings. Hailey didn't want him to post that message. 'She tried to explain — stay low-key, avoid the attention — but he seems to thrive on it. He's going through a rough patch, but he won't change his lifestyle.' 11 11 Just a few months ago, he was slammed for his "inappropriate" behaviour with rapper Sexyy Red in a viral video during a visit to a strip club to celebrate her birthday - while Hailey was nowhere to be seen. Not long after that, Justin sparked confusion over the state of his marriage as he kissed musician SZA's hand during a rambling stage cameo at her LA gig with Kendrick Lamar. Hailey is said to be struggling with his behaviour, with the insider telling us: 'She's desperate. To her, it's like he's acting like a teenager again, thinking that posting online will somehow fix things. 'They argue about his public behaviour — how he reacts to the paparazzi, how he posts about smoking weed, being at strip clubs, or partying with other women. 'He's on edge, but he's still living like everything's fine. She keeps telling him to take a break from the spotlight and work on himself, but nothing changes. Now she's starting to believe he just doesn't have the maturity to face his issues head-on.' Hailey is thought to be close to making a huge decision on their relationship if he doesn't get his act together. The insider revealed: 'She's fed up with his childish behaviour and the constant negativity he brings onto himself.' They added: She told him to stop being a 'f*****g child' and to finally start listening to the people who care about him. 11 11 'She wants him to act like a grown man, to be the person his family, his fans, and especially his son can look up to — not this angry, unstable version of himself that's been showing up lately.' Since becoming a mum, there has been a real shift in the dynamic between the couple. When they first started dating Hailey was facing claims of being a 'nepo baby' as her dad is actor Stephen Baldwin, and she was constantly branded a 'fan girl' by critics. At the time, Justin was the world's biggest pop star - whereas now stands a fallen singer who seems to have peaked after finding fame at 13 and who is now publicly unravelling. Hailey, meanwhile is going from strength to strength - her massively successful make-up brand, Rhode, has now been sold to e.l.f a whopping $1bn. And in a real twist of fortunes, she landed her very own Vogue cover off the back of her success in the beauty world. That too was marred as Justin humiliated her publicly when he blundered in what was presumably an attempt to congratulate her. In a later-deleted Instagram post, he wrote: 'Yo this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight. "I told Hails she would never be on the cover of Vogue. . .Yikes I know, so mean . . . For some reason because I felt so disrespected . . . I thought I gotta get even.' He added: 'So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn't get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken.' Speaking about how much her life has changed since having Jack Blues with Justin nine months ago, Hailey revealed a new level of confidence and purpose. She said in her Vogue interview: 'I like who I am so much more than I ever have. 'There's an ease that comes with [being a mother], a confidence.' A troubled past Long before they coupled up, Justin had a chaotic time in the spotlight. At 15, he spent 48 hours hanging out with close pal Diddy, where they planned to go 'full buck crazy', the rapper said. Four years later, Justin was nicked by cops, aged 19, and charged with driving under the influence and resisting arrest. Since Diddy's arrest last year, unfounded gossip online has linked the Canadian singer's reported mental health problems with his former mentor's alleged crimes. It led to a rare statement from Justin's spokesperson earlier this month, saying: 'Although Justin is not among Sean Combs' victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him. 'Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.' What is certain is that, when Justin and Hailey married, it seemed he had cleaned up his act and boasted about getting clean. However, in recent times, Justin appears to have abandoned his sobriety and was recently pictured seemingly smoking marijuana and with a bong. In a post earlier this month, he joked about a phone case that can carry a spliff, in the way Hailey's Rhode-branded mobile accessory has a lipgloss holder. Hailey has always understood the dark side of addiction. Her father Stephen has a history of drug abuse, but has been sober for more than 30 years. Whether she is willing to watch her own family struggle under the weight of narcotic dependency is another matter though. Hailey and Justin's reps have been contacted for comment. Justin and Hailey Bieber's relationship timeline November 2009 Justin and Hailey Bieber's relationship dates back to a 2009 Today show appearance. Hailey, then 12 years old, reportedly met the Baby singer backstage with her father, Stephen Baldwin, after his performance. February 2011 Justin, Hailey, and Stephen were photographed together at the premiere of Justin's Never Say Never documentary. Hailey later said during an interview with Vogue that she found the Canadian superstar "cute." "I was never a superfan, of him or of anyone. It was never that crazed, screaming thing. I didn't think about it in any kind of way except for the fact that he was cute," she said via People. "Everybody had a crush on him. But for the first few years we had a weird age gap." November 2014 Justin, Hailey, and Kendall Jenner were all seen together at a Hillsong Church service. Not much is known about the outing, but Hailey revealed that the church played a role in their reconnection. "One day Justin walked into Hillsong and was like, 'Hey, you got older.' I was like, 'Yeah, what's up?' Over time he became my best guy friend. I was running around with him as his homie, but we weren't hanging out [romantically]," she said, via People. December 2014 Dating rumors for the pair began after the church appearance, but during an interview with E! News, Hailey denied that they were together. "I've known him since I was so young — since I was like 13 — and we've just been good friends over the years. "We have just stayed close and there's nothing more to it than that." Later that month, they rang in the New Year together. December 2015 Dating rumors surfaced again after Hailey was spotted on vacation with Justin and his family in Tulum, Mexico. Later that month, they rang in the New Year again, but this time, they were spotted kissing at Leonardo DiCaprio's New Year's Eve party in St. Barts, according to People. February 2016 Justin and Hailey acknowledged that they were in a relationship but made it clear that they were not exclusive. Later that year, the pair split in a "very dramatic excommunication," according to People. June 2018 After Hailey and Justin called it quits, he got back together with Selena Gomez, but in May 2018, the pair called it quits for good. A few weeks later, Justin got back together with Hailey. "The common denominator, I promise you, is always church," Hailey told Vogue via People. The pair went on to have a number of PDA-filled public appearances, confirming their relationship was back on. July 2018 Justin and Hailey announced their engagement. He popped the question during a romantic dinner in The Bahamas while they were on vacation, according to People. "Hailey I am soooo in love with everything about you! So committed to spending my life getting to know every single part of you loving you patiently and kindLY," Justin said in an Instagram post. September 2018 On September 13, 2018, Hailey and Justin tied the knot during a courthouse wedding in New York City. November 2018 Hailey changed her last name on social media from Hailey Rhode Baldwin to Hailey Rhode Baldwin Bieber. September 2019 Hailey and Justin had a wedding ceremony in front of their friends and family at the Montage Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, South Carolina. May 2022 Justin revealed during an interview with Apple Music's Ebro Darden that he struggled mentally at the start of his marriage. "It's a journey. I remember when I first got married, I hit a little bit of an emotional breakdown because I thought marriage was going to fix all my problems and it didn't," he said via People. October 2022 Hailey posed with Selena Gomez at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures' 2nd annual gala in Los Angeles to show fans that the pair were on good terms amid rumors that she "stole" Justin from the Wizards of Waverly Place star. September 2023 Hailey and Justin celebrate five years of marriage as divorce rumors circulate the internet. May 9, 2024 After months of speculation, Justin and Hailey announced they are expecting their first child together. August 23, 2024 The Biebers announced the arrival of their first child — a son named Jack Blues. Justin wrote: 'Welcome Home,' alongside a picture of the child
