In a video posted to You Tube a year ago, Goodrem opened up about why Malta was a country close to her heart.

“Being one of the first Australian’s to have a number one here many years ago, I am extremely excited to be in Malta,” she said.

“I am loving everybody’s kindness and learning the language, and being able to just be among the air, the water and the gorgeous trees.

“It feels quite chic here.”

She then revealed her close ties to the southern European country.

“My partner’s family are all from Malta,” she said.

“And, for some reason, I always had Maltese band members in Australia.

“My backing singers who have been with me for 20 years, they are Maltese, my guitarist is Maltese, so obviously there was a connection between Malta and I.

“I am so lucky to be here in this beautiful country.”

Goodrem has been engaged to Copley, who is also in her band, since September 2023.

Her hens took place at popular Palm Beach haunt, The Joey, last month.
