Missy Higgins Finds Love Again with Artist Guy Maestri

Singer Missy Higgins has officially confirmed her new relationship with artist Guy Maestri. The 42-year-old Australian musician revealed the romance on Instagram, sharing a kiss between the couple, a move described as a 'hard launch'. Maestri, 52, an Archibald Prize winner, was first seen with Higgins at the ARIA Awards last November, sparking speculation about their relationship.

The couple has reportedly been dating quietly for approximately a year. Higgins, known for hits like 'Scar', made the confirmation this week, delighting fans who had noticed their connection months prior. Friends expressed joy for Higgins, with some playfully referring to the social media reveal as a 'soft launch'.

This new chapter in Higgins' personal life follows her public announcement in 2022 regarding the end of her six-year marriage to Dan Lee. She and Lee are co-parenting their two children, Samuel, 11, and Luna, 8. Higgins shared her grief and struggles with the dissolution of her marriage, citing fears of a 'failed marriage' and 'broken family'.

Guy Maestri, who won the prestigious Archibald Prize in 2009 for his portrait of Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, shares an eight-year-old son with his ex-partner, artist Sally Anderson. Higgins and Maestri were seen in matching outfits in a recent loved-up photo, with Higgins humorously captioning it, 'When you realise you're dating yourself.'
