McFadden reveals Oz frustration
Former Westlife star Brian McFadden has said that he wants to be known for more than his relationship with Delta Goodrem in Australia.
McFadden has just released his new album 'Set in Stone' in Australia, but he has admitted that he is finding it difficult to get recognition in Goodrem's native country for his music.
McFadden revealed to news.com.au: "It can be a little frustrating at times. I did something last night where they introduced me as Delta Goodrem's boyfriend Brian McFadden. It would be nice to have the tag: Brian McFadden, musician and singer. And Delta Goodrem's partner."
McFadden and Goodrem have been dating since 2004, following the Dubliner's split with his ex-wife Kerry Katona. On the sleeve for his new album, McFadden opens up to Goodrem, whom he describes as "my angel".
He wrote: "Delta, my angel. There are no words that could truly describe how much you mean to me or how much I love you. Since you came into my life, the world feels like a better place to be. Thank you for helping me find my vision to be the artist I can be.
"This album would never have happened if there were no you. Every word that leaves my lips is inspired by your greatness. I still can't take my eyes off of you. I love you."
Last November, the couple announced their engagement. They are expected to wed sometime next year.
