Ageless songstress Tina Arena, 53, goes make-up free on Melbourne street

She is the beloved Australian songstress who top the charts in the 80s and 90s. 

And Melbourne chanteuse Tina Arena, 53, looked positively ageless as she ran errands in Melbourne makeup free this week. 

Tina, whose hits include iconic songs Chains and Sorrento Moon, was seen visiting a  home in Richmond. 

She wore her short, wavy tresses in a stylishly understated way, allowing them to gently frame her face. 

She kept her look casual by wearing a pair of white jeans which she paired with a loose-fitting white T-shirt and sneakers.    

Tina is believed to be currently renovating a house in the area, along with the help of architectural designers ‘Frenchitecture’.  

The songstress has been in a relationship with her long-time partner Vincent Mancini since the year 2000, and the couple share teenage son called Gabriel. 

She told Daily Mail this week that their relationship was ‘no-one’s business’ after speculation the couple had split.

‘I am an extremely private person. My private life is my private life,’ she said. 

She went on to speak about the pitfalls of celebrity. 

‘I am not a celebrity. I am celebrated. I am a chanteuse and that’s it.’ 

Tina’s relationship with Vincent came under intense scrutiny back in January after she put her own Toorak home on the market. 

The singer, who shot to fame on the television program Young Talent Time in the 1970s, told Daily Mail Australia at the time their relationship was ‘fine’. 

‘I’m not about to throw a word into your mouth – this has never happened to me before,’ she said from her Toorak home.  

Tina, who previously lived in France for years, had listed her mansion in Toorak for sale with a $7million price guide, sparking wild speculation the couple had split.

‘There is nothing for me to say and we’re fine. Everybody is fine,’ she said.

Just hours earlier, Tina’s manager denied rumours the star had planned to relocate to France.

Titus Day told Daily Mail Australia that she had decided to take her Melbourne home off the market and not sell.  

At the time, RT Edgar real estate agent Jeremy Fox said Tina was ‘planning to go back to France’ with her family after the sale.

But Titus denied this, saying there was ‘absolutely no truth to any relocation rumours’. 

He added: ‘Tina will be keeping both her Melbourne property and home in France and will live between the two countries.

‘She plans to live between the two as she always has (Covid permitting of course).’  

It comes after the musician reflected on her ‘annus horribilis’ (Latin for ‘horrible year’) in a post shared to Instagram in December. 

She wrote: ‘Well, what a year! One most will talk about for many years to come.  

‘While there would be so many things to complain about… it’s safe to say that the end of this annus horribilis couldn’t come quick enough!

‘I am grateful to my family, for all their love and support. A special shout-out to my friends… those of you know who you are… my love and profound respect for all that you do and are does not go unnoticed.’
