Missy Higgins has confirmed she has a new beau, artist Guy Guido Maestri – months after sneakily letting the news slip on her social media.
The 42-year-old Australian music veteran 'hard-launched' the romance on her Instagram with a snap of the couple sharing a kiss.
Guy, 52, who won the Archibald Prize in 2009, was seen with the singer-songwriter at the ARIA Awards last November.
In the latest loved-up photo, the pair can be seen in identical outfits consisting of striped T-shirts, jeans and boots.
'When you realise you're dating yourself,' the Scar singer joked in the caption.
According to Confidential, Missy and Guy have been 'quietly' dating for a year, ahead of the singer-songwriter's confirmation of the relationship this week.

Still, Missy's followers weren't shy about spilling the happy news months ago.
In November, Missy shared photos of herself and her new boyfriend at the ARIA Awards.
In one picture, Guy can be seen putting a big kiss on Missy's cheek, while the performer smiles broadly.
'Insta official,' commented singer Josh Pyke on the post, to which Missy replied, 'Soft launch.'
'Eekk, I'm so happy for you both,' shared another friend, while a third added, 'So here for this soft launch and so happy to see you happy in love.'
Guy, who shares an eight-year-old son with his ex, artist Sally Anderson, also featured in a second photo Missy shared of their night out at the ARIAs.
He won $50,000 in 2009 for his Archibald Prize-winning portrait of famed Indigenous musician Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu.
This appears to be Missy's first major romance since she revealed her split from her husband of six years, Dan Lee, in 2022.

She shared the shock news in an emotional Instagram update and explained how the pair are co-parenting their two children.
She told followers that the pair had split in January 2022.
'Something I never thought would happen and something I'm still trying to grapple with, to be honest.'
The singer shared that she had long feared the 'shame of a failed marriage' and a 'broken family', and those things ultimately happened.
'I was so determined for this not to be my story,' she lamented.
'We tried many ways to keep the story alive, keep things together, keep on searching down new avenues of hope, or hope-covered denial as it may have been.
'But then life happens, doesn't it. And once again I'm on my knees and utterly humbled by my inability to control it.'
Missy added that she is 'still grieving' the separation.
'I realised this today as I was walking through the bush crying like a lunatic in the rain. Grieving the way I thought things would turn out,' she added.
Missy Higgins married her ex, a playwright and comedian, in 2016.
They share two children, Samuel, 11, and an eight-year-old daughter Luna.
