In this episode of Up Past Bedtime, I guess you could say… I’m in my post divorce, soft launch era. Surprise - I have a boyfriend!?!?!


Let's introduce you to 'Gentle Boy'. For the first time, I’m opening up about being in a new relationship; which is something I wasn’t sure I’d experience again after my marriage ended. I talk about how we met (yep, dating apps), what made this connection feel different, and why I’ve kept things private until now.

I share what it’s been like navigating a new relationship as a single mum, how I introduced him to my girls, and the very real ways my past trauma still shows up. But more than anything, this episode is about the joy of rediscovery... learning how to be loved gently, how to trust again, and how to hold space for both healing and happiness at the same time.

This one’s personal… but it also feels really special. Let’s stay up late and chat about it.


Up Past Bedtime with Bella Messina is your go-to for late-night, unfiltered chats—the kind of conversations you’d have with your closest girlfriends. From relationships to motherhood, no topic is off-limits as Bella, a 20-something mum of two, invites you into candid conversations with inspiring women and shares her own raw stories. This podcast is where you’ll feel seen, heard, and completely understood. So get comfortable, because the best conversations happen when you’re up past bedtime
