Delta & Brian battle it out in public

As Delta mourns the death of a dear friend, it’s clear her already strained relationship is at its lowest point, writes Sarah Blake.

A day after attending the funeral of her lifelong friend Liam O’Flaherty, Delta Goodrem and fiancé Brian McFadden met with friends for drinks at popular Sydney haunt, The Oaks Hotel.

The singer was deeply distressed, having given a eulogy for Liam — whose death at 24 in a motorbike accident has left her “heartbroken”. But rather than a quiet get-together, the afternoon session turned into a fierce public argument that saw the usually restrained Delta storm off, leaving Brian behind.

The shocking argument came just weeks after another emotion-charged incident.

A diner at upmarket Sydney restaurant Toko said onlookers were shocked to see the high-profile couple “screaming” at each other as an argument over dinner escalated.

“Delta was really distraught and the word ‘jealousy’ was used,” the diner says. “She was upset and angry and waving her hands around and then she stormed off. Brian followed her looking like a belted-up love puppy.”
