Personal Life
She was born in Australia in 1979.
Jules Egan married her longtime boyfriend, singer Guy Sebastian. The two tied the knot in 2008 and have two sons together, Hudson James and Archer Jones.
In a 2016 interview with Mamamia (website), Guy commented on his love for his wife,[29]
"I'd love to put [our 17-year relationship] down to myself, but I'm lucky with Jules.
She's very easy going and supportive, we just hang out, we're really good friends above anything else."
Jules and Guy have been friends since they were both 12 years of age.
They first met at a wedding and eventually started a relationship in their teens. The two have always been there for one another, in a 60 Minutes interview aired in the summer of 2019 Guy recalled a tough time in his life where Jules was the only person he could turn to,
“I walked for hours to your [Jules’] house, and I was in tears this one time and I wasn’t really a big crier, because I actually had to ask Jules for five bucks or something, to lend me some money so I could put petrol in my car.”
Prior to marrying the two broke up, with Jules stating that Guy's overnight stardom on Australian Idol had an impact on their relationship. Guy went on to date other people including Delta Goodrem, his co-host coach on The Voice. After some time Guy eventually went back to Jules, realizing he truly loved her. (When they were dating, Jules and Guy had discussed the idea of a 'hall pass'-who they would allow the other to sleep with no questions asked-Jules said Heath Ledger, and Guy declared 'that hot girl from "Neighbors' Delta Goodrem before even dating her.)[29]
