Delta likes to keep her relationship with Matthew private, as they never make red carpet events together. The actress-turned-singer shot to fame in the UK as bad girl Nina Tucker on Neighbours between 2002 and 2005 before making a brief return in 2015. Her hot Born To Try went on to reach number three in the UK charts.
The star went on to date Westlife's Brian McFadden after he split from Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona. He had met Delta when they came together for his solo single, Almost Here. Kerry has since said that if she had not appeared on Loose Women and accepted Brian's invitation to join them in the recording studio, their lives may have taken a wholly different path. Brian and Delta got engaged but never wed.
Delta also dated Jonas Brothers singer Nick Jonas briefly when he was a teenager before they called time on their short-lived romance in 2012. However, years later the American singer admitted he'll always have feelings for her. He told news.com.au in 2015: "We run in different circles these days. But from time to time we talk. I think that life is about a journey and growth -- and each person that's a part of your life is meaningful and important. And I think that there is always love there. It's a part of the journey."
