Aussie singer and actress Natalie Bassingthwaighte makes rare comments about ex-husband Cameron McGlinchey after moving on with 'incredible' partner Pip Loth
Natalie Bassingthwaighte has offered a rare glimpse into her personal life, opening up about her relationship with partner Pip Loth and how she co-parents with ex-husband Cameron McGlinchey.
The singer, actress and television personality, 49, first confirmed her relationship with Loth (who uses they/them pronouns) in November 2023, by resharing an Instagram post that made things official.
Since then, the couple's bond has gone from strength to strength, Bassingthwaite telling the Daily Telegraph on Monday: "My partner is incredible."
The Neighbours alum shares two children, daughter Harper, 14, and son Hendrix, 11, with McGlinchey, her former bandmate from the Rogue Traders.
The pair were married for 12 years before quietly separating in late 2022.
Now starring in the one-woman play Shirley Valentine, Bassingthwaighte credited both Loth and McGlinchey for supporting her as she tours the country with the production, which has already played in Canberra, Adelaide and Melbourne and is set to hit Sydney in October.
"Everyone's made sacrifices to help me be able to do the show," she said.
"My kid's dad is amazing. He has been so great with me here, there and everywhere."
For Bassingthwaighte, it's vital her children see her pursuing her passion.
"It's really important for children to see what you do and to see you not just as their parent, but as someone who works hard for what they love," she said.
The Voodoo Child singer first met Loth, a stage manager at Queensland Theatre Company, while working together on the 2021 musical Jagged Little Pill.
In March, she told The Daily Telegraph that Loth is an "extraordinary human".
"They've made me a better one and they get me more than I understand myself," she said.
"It's been the wildest time in my life and it's beautiful."
Bassingthwaite also reflected on how her feelings for Loth connect with her current role on stage.
"There's a line in Shirley Valentine, and I think of Pip every night," she shared.
"It says, 'When you meet someone and they like you, they sort of approve of you, you start to grow again, you start to move in the right ways and say the right things at the right time.'
"That's exactly how they've made me feel- heard and loved."
Bassingthwaighte has previously spoken about the strength of her relationship with McGlinchey, even after their separation.
Following their split, Bassingthwaighte said it was McGlinchey who encouraged her to go public with her new relationship.
"I rang Cam and I was hysterical," she told Stellar.
"And he said, 'It's OK. This is your truth and you now have to sit in it and stand in it and own it'. So to have that support from him has been nothing short of beautiful, and I'm very grateful for it."
