When media interest intensified about her private life, Bassingthwaighte said she immediately rang McGlinchey in ‘hysterics’ in fear she might be outed.
‘He said, “It’s okay. This is your truth and you now have to sit in it and stand in it and own it,”‘ she revealed.
Bassingthwaighte and McGlinchey married in 2011, and share daughter Harper, 13, and son Hendrix, 10.
