Natalie Bassingthwaighte has fans convinced she's married partner Pip Loth after sharing VERY telling photo
Natalie Bassingthwaighte has sent her fans into a frenzy after posting a loved-up picture with her partner Pip Loth.
The Aussie actress, 49, who hard launched her relationship with Pip in 2023, shared a sweet snap of the two on Instagram on Wednesday.
However, the candid photo sparked controversy online over its various bridal elements.
First off, both Natalie and Pip wore white in the picture, with the Neighbours star donning an elegant sleeveless dress in a chiffon-like material.
She looked regal as she paired the ensemble with some impressive diamond earrings and swept her golden lock in a messy bun.

Her partner decided on a white suit for the occasion, which many assumed meant wedding bells for the two.
The caption didn't help when it came to fuelling marriage speculation.
'Doing this life with you my [heart],' she captioned the post, while tagging Pip.
She added: 'Thanks for putting [on] the most beautiful event @thecalilehotel @zenakdor we adore you.'
Fans flooded the post with love for the couple, with one writing: 'Beautiful. Wishing you all the love.'
Another wrote: 'Total cuties, you two' while some questioned if the pair had wed.
It came to light that the couple were, in fact, attending an event for House of K'Dor, a diamond and gemstone boutique, where they were asked to wear all white.
Natalie has previously opened up about her relationship with her partner Pip.
The Australian singer described her romance as 'beautiful' and said that Pip 'understands' her more than any other person who has been in her life
'They get me more than I understand myself,' she told Stellar.
'It's been the wildest time in my life and it's beautiful.'
Shedding light on her experience coming out and the fear that often comes with it, Natalie said it was more of an internal battle than one she was facing with the people around her.
'What I've learnt over this time is that I think I had internalised homophobia myself, so I was terrified about what people would say and think and feel,' she told host Sarrah Le Marquand for the podcast.
'That's just ingrained in growing up in a certain time when you weren't allowed to be.'
'It doesn't mean I don't get scared sometimes but that debilitating fear has gone. And it's beautiful.
'I feel heard, I feel safe, I feel connected.'
Natalie and her estranged husband Cameron McGlinchey split after 13 years of marriage in August 2023.
The pair, who married in 2011, share daughter Harper, 13, and son Hendrix, 10.
Natalie made her public debut with new partner Pip Loth during a low-key outing in Queensland in April 2023.
Natalie then revealed she was dating a woman in a 2023 interview with Stellar magazine and later disclosed Pip's name on Instagram 10 days later.
'I'm in a beautiful relationship with a woman who makes my heart smile and makes me really happy,' she revealed to the magazine.
Before finding love, Natalie and Pip worked together on the Melbourne production of Jagged Little Pill in 2021.

BREAKING NEWS Channel Nine confirms veteran will make a sensational return to TV after quitting radio gig
Channel Nine has confirmed Deborah Knight will be stepping away from her role on 2GB's Money News and returning to a full-time television role at the network. The seasoned journalist is set to take on the role of presenter for the national 9News Morning bulletin at 11:30am each weekday from July 21. The 52-year-old will also present 9News Afternoon each weekday in Sydney and will continue to host A Current Affair on Saturday night. 'I'm incredibly excited to be stepping back into a full-time television role with 9News and Current Affairs,' Deb said. 'It's a fantastic opportunity to be part of the daily news cycle and connect with viewers during these important bulletins. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I've thoroughly enjoyed my time in radio, particularly hosting Money News, and I'm grateful for the wonderful listeners who tuned in. I'm also very pleased to continue hosting A Current Affair on Saturday nights.' Deb's final show on 2GB will be on Thursday, with a new host set to be announced in the coming weeks. National Content Manager of Nine Radio Greg Byrnes acknowledged her contribution to radio. 'Deb has been an integral part of the 2GB on-air team since 2020, but her ties to talk radio stretch back much further,' he said. 'Nationally, the Money News program with Deb as host, has recorded some of its best ratings on record and she finishes up as No. 1 overall in Sydney. We'll miss Deb on and off the air but as she's remaining in the Nine family she'll never be too far away.' Deb's exit from 2GB will leave the Sydney station without any female presenters during the weekday daytime lineup. She first joined 2GB's afternoon program in 2020, reportedly on a $600,000 salary, before being moved off the role in late 2023 due to disappointing ratings. At the time, the broadcaster was said to be 'shattered' by the decision. Despite the shake-up, Knight quickly bounced back, taking over Money News in November 2023 in a revamped 7pm-8pm slot. And it didn't take long for her to prove the doubters wrong. Knight helped drive Money News to a 13.3 per cent share in the latest ratings survey -ranking her number one in the country for the timeslot, and more than doubling the show's audience in Queensland, where it's also broadcast on Brisbane's 4BC. The program also recorded a 0.6 point increase in the latest survey, contributing to 2GB's strongest ratings result of the year.

John Farnham's son Rob pays moving tribute to his father on his 76th birthday following cancer scare
John Farnham 's son Robert has shared a sweet tribute to the Aussie music icon to mark his 76th birthday on Tuesday. The actor, 45, posted a photo to Instagram of his iconic father alongside a sweet message. 'Massive happy birthday to my dad. You're my idol and my hero. Love you heaps,' he wrote. John recently underwent jaw reconstruction surgery, which lasted 12 hours and required 26 doctors, after he was diagnosed with oral cancer in 2022. After a long recovery out of the spotlight, the hitmaker is back to enjoying life with his loved ones. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. John's son James revealed in February that his famous father was recovering well after having a cancerous growth removed from his mouth in 2022. 'He's doing great,' James said on Sunrise at the time. 'He's walking around, kicking goals, and annoying mum as normal.' 'As long as he's annoying someone, you know he's on the mend,' host Natalie Barr said. John spent long months in recovery during a harrowing cancer battle. He discovered he had the cancerous growth in his mouth after his wife Jill insisted he get a persistent mouth ulcer checked out. Having found a malignant tumour, the resulting operation saw parts of his mouth and jaw removed, and lasted nearly 12 hours. John then underwent eight gruelling weeks of radiation and, 12 months later, was declared cancer-free. In his memoir The Voice Inside, John detailed his cancer ordeal and how it robbed him of his life's passion. 'My facial disfigurement from the surgery means I can't open my mouth wide enough for a strip of spaghetti, let alone to sing,' he wrote. 'I can't get the movement to make the sounds I want to make, that's where the vibrations and my voice come from. It's a very disconcerting thing. And trying hurts.' While he has temporarily been robbed of what was regarded as one of the great voices of popular music, he still has hopes that one day he will perform again. 'I was given a gift and to be able to get out there and affect people in some way was special, I would like to continue doing that,' he shared. John also said he believes the tumour came about as a result of his long-term smoking habit, which he eventually managed to kick. 'Cancer doesn't discriminate, but as soon as I was told the results, I couldn't help thinking it was my own fault, I smoked very heavily all my life,' he said. He said he started smoking at the age of 14 and would do so in secret after his disapproving parents once caught him.

Federal court orders Sydney Muslim cleric to remove ‘racist and antisemitic' lectures from social media
A Sydney Muslim cleric has been ordered by the federal court to take down a series of 'fundamentally racist and antisemitic' speeches posted online, and instructed by a judge not to make similar addresses again. Wissam Haddad – whose legal first name is William but who is also known as Abu Ousayd – has been successfully sued by two senior members of Australia's peak Jewish body, the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ), over a series of lectures he gave at the Al Madina Dawah Centre in Bankstown in November 2023 – subsequently broadcast online – in which, the court found, he maligned Jewish people. On Tuesday, Justice Stewart found Haddad breached section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, which prohibits offensive behaviour based on race or ethnic origin. Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email 'The court has found that the series of lectures, titled 'The Jews of Al Madina', conveys disparaging imputations against Jewish people that, in all the circumstances, were reasonably likely to offend, insult, humiliate and intimidate Jews in Australia. 'The imputations include age-old tropes against Jewish people that are fundamentally racist and antisemitic; they make perverse generalisations against Jewish people as a group.' In his speeches, Haddad quoted and offered interpretation of ayat from the Qur'an and hadith, and described Jewish people as 'mischievous', 'treacherous' and 'vile'. His defence told the court the speeches concerned historical writings about Jewish people in Medina in the 7th century CE, at the time of the prophet Muhammad. His defence also argued the lectures were given for an educational purpose, and that they could not be found to have breached section 18C because they were not public, but rather addressed to a private Muslim audience. But the complainants told court Haddad used 'overtly dehumanising' language about Jewish people and that he revelled in being 'deliberately provocative and inflammatory'. The court heard the speeches were made in the knowledge they would be broadcast online, with microphones and cameras set up to record them. Peter Wertheim, one of the claimants in the case and ECAJ co-chief executive, gave evidence that Haddad's speeches 'making derogatory generalisations, calling Jews a vile and treacherous people, calling them rats and cowards … are things which I think would be experienced by most Jews as dehumanising'. Justice Stewart said Jewish people in Australia would have found Haddad's lecture 'harassing and intimidating' and said the context of the speeches' delivery – as conflict raged in Gaza – had exacerbated their impact. 'The lectures were delivered at a time of heightened vulnerability and fragility experienced by Jews in Australia following the attack by Hamas on 7 October 2023, Israel's bombardment and blockade of Gaza in response, and resultant solidarity protests and other actions in Australia.' In his judgment, Justice Stewart pointedly stated that criticism of Israel, or of the actions of the Israel Defense Forces, was not inherently antisemitic. Sign up to Breaking News Australia Get the most important news as it breaks after newsletter promotion 'Political criticism of Israel, however inflammatory or adversarial, is not by its nature, criticism of Jews in general or based on Jewish racial or ethnic identity. 'The conclusion that it is not antisemitic to criticise Israel is the corollary of the conclusion that to blame Jews for the actions of Israel is antisemitic; the one flows from the other.' The court rejected two constitutional arguments made by Haddad: that part 2A of the Racial Discrimination Act (including section 18C) was beyond the power of the parliament to legislate because it conflicted with the implied freedom of political communication; or that it contravened section 116 of the constitution as a law 'prohibiting the free exercise of any religion'. The court ordered Haddad to remove the speeches from the internet, and not to make similar public addresses in future. Lawyers for both sides will address the court on the manner and wording of any 'corrective notice' required to be published. Wertheim, and co-claimant Robert Goot, did not seek damages. The court has ordered Haddad to pay the claimants' costs.
