‘Appreciation post for the most incredible woman who is not only giving me strength, support, love and immense joy, but is teaching me to understand and accept that I am deserving of these things and have them within myself too,’ Pip wrote.
‘She’s teaching me to breathe deeply, to trust and to be my truest self. I am so incredibly lucky and overwhelmingly grateful for you.’

It comes after the Rogue Traders singer, who opened for Christina Aguilera at the Always Live festival at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne on Saturday, took to Instagram after the show with a video giving a glimpse into her new love life.
One clip showed Natalie arriving at the venue holding hands with Pip Loth, a stage manager and production technician who identifies as non-binary.
Daily Mail can exclusively reveal that Natalie and Pip are longtime friends, having worked together on the Melbourne production of Jagged Little Pill in 2021.
Pip, who reportedly travelled to Melbourne to see Natalie perform at Always Live, looked elated for the songstress as the pair shared a laugh and strolled side-by-side.
Also cheering on Natalie at the show was her daughter Harper, 13.
The sighting came days after Daily Mail exclusively identified Natalie’s new girlfriend as Nicola Ossher.
Nicola, a single mum and talented drummer, lives a short drive away from the Rogue Traders singer’s Byron Bay home.

Nicola Ossher spoke to Daily Mail while walking her dog in Tweed Heads, NSW, on Tuesday, and coyly admitted: ‘We have a long friendship – and that’s all I’m going to say.’
The drummer with corporate events band Jazz Factory spoke out after Neighbours star Bassingthwaighte confessed she was now in a same-sex relationship.
Bassingthwaighte said her new love ‘makes my heart smile’ following her split last year with husband Cameron McGlinchey after 11 years of marriage.
Last week Daily Mail identified Natalie’s new girlfriend as Nicola Ossher (pictured on Tuesday)
In an intriguing coincidence, he is also a drummer like her new love.
‘I think this was ‘step one’ for Nat in sharing her story,’ a close friend from Byron Bay told Daily Mail .
”Step two’ will be talking more candidly about her relationship with Nicola.’

On Tuesday, Ossher told Daily Mail she had known Bassingthwaighte for years, and also knew husband Cameron, who was the drummer in Rogue Traders.
‘We have a lovely friendship,’ the mum-of-one said.
It was revealed in August that Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Cameron McGlinchey had ‘quietly ended their marriage’ late last year and were ‘working amicably to co-parent their two children’ (pictured)
‘We’ve known each other for years. I’m leaving it at that. I think you should leave her be – her private life is hers.’
Bassingthwaighte’s close friend said: ‘The community in Byron is quite small and these two women had met through mutual friends… their relationship is new and there are a lot of hurdles to jump through while they figure out if it can work.
‘There’s been jokes about the fact Cameron is a drummer and Nicola is one too – what are the odds?’

Bassingthwaighte made her shock love-life announcement on the Stellar Podcast and revealed she had told husband Cameron, 48, about it first.
‘I’m in a beautiful relationship with a woman who makes my heart smile and makes me really happy,’ she said.
She and Cameron were pictured together with Ossher and partner, Nerida Groth – who she shares a six-year-old son with – at an event in 2022.
When media interest intensified about her split from her ex-partner, Natalie said she immediately rang Cameron in ‘hysterics’ in fear she might be outed.
‘He said, ‘It’s OK. This is your truth and you now have to sit in it and stand in it and own it,’ she revealed.

The mother-of-two added: ‘So to have that support from him has been nothing short of beautiful, and I’m very grateful for it.’
‘Now I can speak from my own mouth, on my own truth, and that feels rewarding. I’m OK. Everything is OK, and everyone is OK.’
It was revealed in August that Natalie and Cameron had ‘quietly ended their marriage’ late last year and were ‘working amicably to co-parent their two children’.
The pair, who married in 2011, share daughter Harper, 13, and son Hendrix, 10.
Bassingthwaighte’s close friend told Daily Mail : ‘They were never really in a conventional relationship.
‘They both nested the kids in a happy home and have been able to come and go, sharing parenting and other responsibilities.
‘The way in which they have been able to stay friends has been impressive.’
In 2020, the family relocated from Melbourne to the NSW town of Byron Bay before lockdown began.
A representative of Natalie confirmed to Daily Mail the singer had sold her Melbourne home to relocate to Byron Bay.
According to The Daily Telegraph, Natalie chose to rent in the coastal town.
While it’s not known how much their Melbourne property sold for, the couple had originally bought it for a little more than $2.5million at auction 10 years ago.
