Missy Higgins Debuts New Relationship: Self-Love Unleashed

Missy Higgins has confirmed she has a new beau, artist Guy Guido Maestri – months after sneakily letting the news slip on her social media.

The 42-year-old Australian music veteran 'hard-launched' the romance on her Instagram with a snap of the couple sharing a kiss.

Guy, 52, who won the Archibald Prize in 2009, was seen with the singer-songwriter at the last November.

In the latest loved-up photo, the pair can be seen in identical outfits consisting of striped T-shirts, jeans and boots.

'When you realise you're dating yourself,' the Scar singer joked in the caption.

According to Confidential, Missy and Guy have been 'quietly' dating for a year, ahead of the singer-songwriter's confirmation of the relationship this week.

Still, Missy's followers weren't shy about spilling the happy news months ago.

In November, Missy shared photos of herself and her new boyfriend at the ARIA Awards.

In one picture, Guy can be seen putting a big kiss on Missy's cheek, while the performer smiles broadly.

'Insta official,' commented singer Josh Pyke on the post, to which Missy replied, 'Soft launch.'

'Eekk, I'm so happy for you both,' shared another friend, while a third added, 'So here for this soft launch and so happy to see you happy in love.'

Guy, who shares an eight-year-old son with his ex, artist Sally Anderson, also featured in a second photo Missy shared of their night out at the ARIAs.

He won $50,000 in 2009 for his Archibald Prize-winning portrait of famed Indigenous musician Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu.

This appears to be Missy's first major romance since she revealed her split from her husband of six years, Dan Lee, in 2022.
