Delta Goodrem issued a statement yesterday regarding the end of her relationship with tennis player Mark Philippoussis.
As previously reported, some Australian tabloids printed stories earlier in the week claiming Goodrem and Philippoussis' relationship collapsed when the latter cheated on the former with Paris Hilton. While all parties denied the affair rumours, Philippoussis did confirm his relationship with Goodrem was over, blaming conflicting work commitments for its demise.
Word had it that Goodrem, over here to promote new album 'Mistaken Identity', which is released on 8 Nov, was cancelling some interviews to avoid being questioned about her private life. The cheerful statement issued on her website yesterday was most probably an attempt to close off the story so she can get down to plugging her album.
The singer told her fans: "Hi Everyone - hope this finds you well. Mark and I are no longer together and I wish him all the best. I'm now looking forward to concentrating on my music and releasing my new album. Love. Delta"
