Nat Bass has shared a sweet “appreciation post” from her new partner Pip Loth, who she started dating after her marriage to a man broke down.

Natalie Bassingthwaighte has gone Instagram official with her new partner, Pip Loth.

Loth posted a gushing tribute to their new partner to their private Instagram account, which Nat Bass then reshared publicly to her 208,000-odd Instagram followers.

“Appreciation post for the most incredible woman who is not only giving me strength, support, love and immense joy, but is teaching me to understand and accept that I am deserving of these things and have them within myself too,” wrote Loth, who uses they / them pronouns.

“She’s teaching me to breathe deeply, to trust and to be my truest self. I am so incredibly lucky and overwhelmingly grateful for you.”

Bassingthwaighte was married to her former bandmate Cameron McGlinchey for 12 years before they broke up last year.

The pair, who married in 2011, share daughter Harper, 13, and son Hendrix, 10.

Earlier this month Bassingthwaighte told Stellar that she was in a relationship “with a woman who makes my heart smile and makes me happy”.

Over the weekend, the singer was supported by her partner at her first big gig since going public with the news.

Bassingthwaighte shared a compilation of pictures and video from the day on Instagram, and among the vision were a couple of images of her happily holding hands with Loth.

Bassingthwaighte’s daughter Harper was also in attendance at the show.

While Nat Bass is clearly enamoured with her new partner, she told Stellar that she was initially “terrified” about revealing her new same-sex relationship to the world, and sought advice from her ex, Rogue Traders bandmate Cameron McGlinchey, about how to handle it.

“I rang Cam and I was hysterical. 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,” she said.

“Now I can speak from my own mouth, on my own truth, and that feels rewarding. I’m OK. Everything is OK, and everyone is OK. We’re in a good space. It feels liberating. But before? It’s terrifying and it’s debilitating because you’re waiting for someone to snap a picture of you and make it salacious. To live like that is … oh, it’s not fun. And I’ve been doing that for a little while now. So it’s nice to say it.”

Reports first surfaced in August that Bassingthwaighte and McGlinchey, parents to two children, had gone their separate ways.

While she stayed silent at the time, she says now the media interest in their split was “challenging” and “overwhelming.”Now, Bassingthwaighte says she and her ex are “co-parenting beautifully, and I’m proud of us for that.”
