Personal Life
In 2004, Goodrem began a nine-month relationship with Australian tennis player Mark Philippoussis. Her "comeback" single "Out of the Blue" was written about his support during her cancer battle. The couple's relationship ended in controversy when newspapers reported Philippoussis had been unfaithful. Later that year, Goodrem began dating former Westlife singer Brian McFadden with whom she collaborated on the duet "Almost Here". On 29 November 2007 Goodrem and McFadden announced they were engaged. In his book, McFadden wrote that he proposed to her on a trip to Bali.
On 1 April 2011, it was announced that McFadden and Goodrem had broken up, and that their engagement had been called off. The couple released a joint statement stating that they wished each other every success and happiness in the future. Goodrem dated singer Nick Jonas from May 2011 to February 2012.

But for ten years and over my salaries have not equalled my expenses, and there has been a feeling of responsibility, a lack of independence, and a necessary neglect of my family and personal interests and comfort, which make the prospect of a change comfortable to think of.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“One half of my life has put the other half in the grave.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
