Guy Sebastian has taken out 24-hour-a-day security at his Sydney home.

Photographs taken by Confidential this week show a private security officer stationed out the front of the ARIA Award-winning performer’s Maroubra house.

A representative for the Choir singer confirmed Sebastian had added security but would not elaborate as to what prompted the decision.

The 38-year-old lives in the home with wife of 12 years, Jules, and their two young sons, Hudson and Archer.

In 2018, Sebastian spoke to a Brisbane radio station about an ongoing dispute over the long-running construction of the family dream house. It was after someone within his neighbourhood labelled the construction a “nightmare”.

“He’s one of those guys on the street that sits out the front screwing his eyes up at everyone,” he told Hit 105 at the time.

Sebastian and his wife bought the Maroubra property for $3.1 million after selling their four-bedroom Clovelly home for $2.22 million seven years ago.

In other news, Sebastian and former manager Titus Day are caught up in a drawn out public stoush that will see the pair face off in court with the singer claiming to be owed $200,000 over alleged breach of contract, as well as performance and other fees. Meanwhile, Day has said he is owed $800,000 by The Voice star.

The relationship between the pair, whose families used to holiday together, came to an end in November 2017 after a 12-year working relationship.

The Telegraph does not suggest that Sebastian’s decision to up his security has anything to do with Mr Day or the earlier neighbourhood dispute.
