The beach bash followed Delta and Matthew’s luxurious wedding ceremony the previous day, which took place in the same country where the couple got engaged in 2023.

The multi-day celebration has been two years in the making, with guests reportedly receiving detailed schedules well in advance.

While Delta dazzled in a cobalt blue swimsuit and a sheer white sarong during the recovery festivities, it was Christian who stole the show in his daring swimwear – solidifying his status as a red carpet rebel even while off-duty.

Delta, who has remained private about her personal life, got engaged to Matthew, her guitarist and musical collaborator, in September 2023. 

The Australian pop princess married her longtime love and guitarist in the same country where the couple got engaged last year. 

Malta holds a particularly special place in her heart – not only was it the setting for her romantic engagement to Matthew, but it also boasts deep personal and professional ties for the singer.

In a video shared on YouTube in 2023, Delta opened up about her bond with the southern European nation.

‘My partner’s family are all from Malta,’ she said, before adding that many of her longtime band members and backup singers also share Maltese heritage.

The star-studded nuptials had reportedly been two years in the making, with guests receiving detailed schedules ahead of the big day.

Meanwhile, Richard broke his silence on his new relationship with Mia in May last year after they were pictured holding hands.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, he said things between the pair were blissful.

‘Life is good. I’m happy. Things are good,’ he said.

Dickie, who is usually quiet when it comes to his private life, added: ‘It’s a bit weird when you have people sticking their heads out of bushes, but that’s okay.’

Daily Mail Australia broke the news of their romance after the Channel Nine star was seen with Mia at his friend Annika Martyn’s birthday party.

In a video shared to Instagram by Annika, Richard was seen stepping off a boat hand-in-hand with Mia.

Mia also shared a cryptic post to her Instagram Stories, showing her clinking glasses with a man off camera, which she captioned: ‘All you need is love’.

A source told Daily Mail Australia at the time that they have been dating for several weeks, and have so far kept their romance low-key.

Mia had reportedly recently split from a long-term partner, while Dickie broke up with his longtime girlfriend Nicola Dale in January last year.

According to her website, Mia runs classes known as The Over 40s Club, which offers makeup and beauty advice for older women.

She has worked with big names in the entertainment industry, including Pamela Anderson, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Florence Welch, Jimmy and Jane Barnes, Black Eyed Peas and Dean Lewis.

She also has a popular TikTok account where she offers makeup advice for mature skin.
