Red Carpet Tension Overshadows Music Nomination
Media personality Abbie Chatfield created quite the spectacle at Wednesday's ARIA Awards in Australia, though it wasn't just her striking plaid gown that captured attention. The 30-year-old former Bachelor star attended the prestigious music ceremony alongside her boyfriend, singer Adam Hyde, whose song 2Dancing had earned a nomination for Best Video.
However, what should have been Hyde's moment of musical recognition quickly turned into a different kind of spotlight when cameras captured what appeared to be a tense exchange between the couple as they approached the photo wall. Eyewitnesses observed Chatfield stopping abruptly and pointing a finger at her 35-year-old partner, seemingly reprimanding him just before their red carpet photographs.
From Awkward Moment to Passionate Display
Despite the uncomfortable-looking interaction, Adam Hyde appeared completely unfazed by the incident. The Peking Duk member even flashed a thumbs-up gesture when photographers called them forward, maintaining his composure throughout the awkward situation.
In a remarkable turnaround, Chatfield then led the way to the photo area where the couple posed for a series of pictures. The former reality star completely changed her demeanour, looking adoringly at her boyfriend as camera flashes illuminated the pair. The tension quickly evaporated as they leaned in for a passionate embrace, sharing a significant public display of affection with a lengthy kiss that certainly raised temperatures on the red carpet.
Fashion Statements and Musical Revelations
Abbie ensured all eyes remained on her throughout the evening with her fashion choices. She stunned in an off-shoulder, corseted frock featuring a plaid design, ruched skirt, and a dramatic high leg slit. Her curly hair was styled in an elegant up-do, complemented by a futuristic silver purse.
Hyde cut a dashing figure in a traditional grey unbuttoned blazer paired with a black unbuttoned shirt that showcased his tattooed chest. The couple have recently made headlines for more intimate reasons, having revealed to Stellar magazine that Hyde's latest single More, released under his solo act Keli Holiday, incorporates audio from their lovemaking sessions.
Hyde described the track as 'a very horny song' featuring elements of 'sweat and bedsheets.' He explained the unusual recording process, noting that during one intimate moment he suggested recording, to which Chatfield responded positively. Though the initial recording proved unusable due to bedsheets muffling the microphone, Hyde incorporated a different voice note into the final track, describing the decision as an act of romance.
