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.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Under certain circumstances there are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
