Sydney, Australia is no stranger to international stars, but when Giveon brought his show to town last week, he delivered exactly what fans came for: velvet vocals, longing stares - & even reminding fans during the show that he’s single!
Which made what happened after even more intriguing, as Giveon shared his softer side backstage, sharing lingering hugs and laughs, and even holding hands with actress and author Suzan Mutesi. At one point, their faces leaned in close enough to spark speculation!
Mutesi playfully contrasted the tour's typically neutral, soft R&B dress code in a vibrant fruit-motif dress and yellow heels, joking on Instagram, "The dress code: chill, neutral tones, soft R&B vibes. Me: arriving like I'm headlining the fruit festival in a pineapple outfit. When Giveon sings about heartbreak, I'm bringing vitamin C and main character energy."
Media has consistently described Mutesi as single and focused on her career and creative pursuits. She has never publicly confirmed a relationship. Giveon, meanwhile, has openly referenced his single status during recent performances on tour, and the internet has been asking questions.
Nothing has been officially confirmed, but the pair’s body language read “intimate" - with one fan commenting, “Is this why he cancelled his meet and greet in Sydney, omg.”
Far from being a random backstage appearance, Suzan Mutesi was recently in consideration for the 2026 AACTA Awards for her upcoming films Sanctuary: Pariah and Carmen & Bolude. The latter, now streaming on Netflix, was nominated for the Actors Awards, solidifying her growing presence in Australian cinema.
Beyond film, Suzan is the author of the romantic fiction novel Love Beyond 30s, a story exploring emotionally intentional love and mature relationships—themes that mirror much of Giveon’s musical world.
