Through a short statement, Delta Goodrem and Brian McFadden confirmed that they have been engaged and also denied the rumor that the Australian singer has refused the proposal.

Rumored that she rejected Brian McFadden's proposal, Delta Goodrem came out with a confession that she will marry the Irish singer. According to Herald Sun, through a short statement made by Goodrem's management, the newly engaged couple confirmed that they were engaged, stating "Contrary to false reports, the couple were hopping to keep the news private, however they feel it is important to now confirm their exciting news.". The Sydney Morning Herald noted down that the couple were engaged after they returned to Sydney from Dublin.

Before the confirmation of the engagement news came out, The Daily Telegraph claimed that the Australian singer rejected McFadden's marriage proposal because she was too young to be a stepmother of McFadden's two daughter. Before, the 'Not Me, Not I' singer spoke out about dealing with McFadden's daughters stating, "I was a 20-year-old girl. I didn't know how to respond to someone I loved having kids. I was honest about it, I resented them. That's completely how I felt. I'm sure other people have gone through that. It can be a daunting process but I'm over it now. I'm not their mother. If they need me, I'm their friend."

Earlier this year, Goodrem revealed her feeling towards her former 'Westlife' boyfriend saying, "I love Brian - he's my best friend and we have a wonderful relationship. He's definitely taught me not to be so serious, to laugh at everything." Though confirming the engagement news, Goodrem's management didn't give further details about the wedding.

In 2004, the couple began dating sparking rumor that Goodrem was responsible to the divorce of the 'Real to Me' singer and his former 'Atomic Kitten' Kerry Katona. Still, Katona allegedly agreed with her former husband's choice of new life partner. She showed her approval in her autobiography by noting down, "I've met Delta. She's beautiful, tall and elegant with a blinding smile and has so much in common with Brian. I can't blame him for wanting to be with her rather than with me."
