Australian singer and actress Natalie Bassingthwaighte has shared remarkably intimate details about her personal life with fiancé Pip Loth during a candid radio interview. The Rogue Traders vocalist, aged fifty, appeared on the Hit Network drive show hosted by Tommy Little and Carrie Bickmore this Tuesday, where conversation swiftly turned to her romantic relationship.
Revealing Intimate Moments on Air
When questioned by co-host Carrie Bickmore about the greatest joy of falling in love with Pip, the former Neighbours star responded with heartfelt emotion. "I just feel like I'm seen and I'm really heard. I think they understand me more than I understand myself," Natalie declared. "It's pure and it's beautiful. There's a lot of conversations – with girls, it's a lot! It's also so beautiful, sweet, caring, kind, and sexy."
Bickmore then inquired whether the sexual aspect of their relationship felt "different" with Pip, to which Natalie responded with an emphatic affirmation. The singer proceeded to shock both hosts with an exceptionally personal revelation about their initial intimate encounter.
Seven-Hour Intimate Revelation
"The first time that we had actually had sex, after about six or seven hours, like honestly, I'm not even kidding, I'm like: 'What? Is this normal?' It was so good," Natalie confessed during the broadcast.
She further described the physical aftermath of this extended intimate session, explaining how her entire body trembled so intensely that she experienced an unfortunate mishap while driving afterward. "I left and my whole body was shaking so much, and then I get in the car and I'm like: 'Don't touch me'. I was still right up there," Natalie detailed. "I went to get my pawpaw and I'm putting it on my lips and my fingers are shaking. I'm driving and my lips felt funny – I had Betadine all over my mouth, it wasn't lip balm."
Co-host Tommy Little responded with humorous disbelief, remarking: "I think if I had sex for seven hours I'd be dead."
Romantic Niagara Falls Proposal
The couple's relationship reached a significant milestone last October when Natalie proposed to Pip during a romantic outing at Niagara Falls in Canada. They announced their engagement publicly with a sweet Instagram video shared on a Saturday morning.
The engagement clip began with footage of Canadian actor and singer Noah Reid performing a cover of Tina Turner's "Simply The Best" on stage, dedicating the song to the newly engaged couple. The video then transitioned to the actual proposal moment, showing Pip receiving a note from a woman at a typewriter before Natalie dropped to both knees, presenting the engagement ring she had purchased.
Pip enthusiastically accepted the proposal, with the couple sharing a passionate embrace as bystanders passed by. "Just a little casual proposal… it was me, I got proposed to!" Pip exclaimed toward the video's conclusion while displaying her thick-banded silver ring.
From Heartbreak to New Beginnings
In emotional extracts from her forthcoming memoir Love Like This, obtained by Stellar magazine prior to publication, Natalie revealed her journey from marital heartbreak to unexpected engagement. The singer admitted she had developed anti-marriage sentiments following her separation from ex-husband Cameron McGlinchey.
The pain from ending her twelve-year marriage to her Rogue Traders bandmate, which concluded in 2023, persisted long after the relationship itself dissolved. By 2024, Natalie had reinforced her stance against marriage, even after meeting and publicly acknowledging her new partner Pip Loth in November 2023.
However, this rigid position began to soften following a meaningful exchange with Pip that fundamentally altered her perspective on matrimony. "You know, it wasn't even legal for me to get married until 2017," Pip reminded Natalie, referencing Australia's Marriage Law Postal Survey.
This comment resonated deeply with the singer. "I felt silly that it hadn't dawned on me how much of a privilege it was that I'd been able to get married. Not once, but twice," Natalie wrote in her memoir.
Through these conversations, Natalie came to recognize that for Pip, marriage represented something profoundly significant beyond mere tradition. "The more I listened to Pip the more I realised that for them, marriage wasn't about conformity; it was about being seen and chosen in a world that had for so long told them they weren't allowed to be," she reflected.
