Actress Suzan Mutesi continues to solidify her growing presence in Australian cinema, with her recent consideration for the 2026 AACTA Awards for her films Sanctuary: Pariah and Carmen & Bolude (with the latter, now streaming on Netflix).
But it was Suzan’s presence backstage at R&B sensation Giveon’s recent concert in Sydney, Australia that has sparked much speculation.
Giveon delivered everything fans had been hoping for—his signature velvet vocals, smouldering glances, and moments of pure emotional intensity—but he also stirred curiosity after the show, unveiling a softer, more playful side backstage. He shared lingering hugs and warm laughs with actress and author Suzan Mutesi, their easy rapport capturing the attention of fans. At one point, the two even held hands, and their faces drew close enough to ignite curiosity about the nature of their connection.
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’, causing one fan to speculate: “Is this why he cancelled his meet and greet in Sydney, OMG.”
Mutesi, dressed brightly, 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.”
Beyond film, Suzan is the author of the successful romantic fiction novel Love Beyond 30s, a story exploring emotionally intentional love and mature relationships—themes that mirror much of Giveon’s musical world.
