Today’s news is all about make-ups and break-ups. On one hand we’ve got word that Sophie Monk has split with her Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden.
Now we saw this one coming for a while, ever since Sophie returned to Australia solo in January. The Daily Telegraph later spotted her without her engagement ring, which started more rumours buzzing.
Sophie’s agent Yoon Kim put an end to the speculation today, issuing an official statement claiming “The decision was mutual and they remain amicable.” I guess it’s pretty easy to remain amicable when you’re on opposite sides of the world, right?

But things are happier for Tim Campbell and Anthony Callea, who’ve just admitted they’re together. The pair became close when they worked on a Perth production of Rent last year. They had both recently separated from their partners, and cried on each other’s shoulders.
“There was stuff written in the paper a while ago … and actually Anthony and I are a bit of an item at the moment,” Tim told Vega FM yesterday.
“The question was asked a while ago and we weren’t, but we have gotten to a point where we are very happy together.”
And it’s just in time for Valentine’s Day too! It’s too bad about Sophie and Benji, but at least some of our Aussie stars will have a loved-up day tomorrow!

Sorry to hear about Sophie’s breakup, but really love the news about Anth & Tim. They are both really lovely people and its great to see that are now happy & together. I also think their openess about their relationship will do just that bit more towards acceptance. What a talented duo as well, Tim starring currently in Shout and Anthony just being cast in Wicked there’s no stopping them, added to that they both have killer smiles.
I completely agree with you Di – it’s so lovely to see such sweet, talented guys getting together. I’m thrilled for them!
