JESSICA Mauboy has given her fans a peek at the enduring romance she shares with beau Themeli Magripilis in the video for her latest single, Fallin’.

The 27-year-old actor and singer recreates the moment she played her new love song to her partner of eight years and he waltzed her around their lounge room.

Mauboy has maintained some mystery about her shy guy with Magripilis’s face strategica­lly angled away from the lens as they dance in each other’s arms.

But there is no missing the magic between them, particular­ly in one scene when the loved-up Mauboy rests her head on her boyfriend’s shoulder.

The pop sweetheart looks stunning in the video introducin­g the retro-flavoured love song, which is reminiscen­t of the ’60s girl group sound she recreated on The Sapphires.

Fallin’ was written for the second series of her Channel Seven show The Secret Daughter.

It was given a live premiere when Mauboy performed on Nine’s The Voice last Sunday night.

Katy Perry, Niall Horan and Noah Cyrus have booked berths on The Voice’s grand final show tomorrow night.

Mauboy said the idea to coax her boyfriend to co-star with her in the Fallin’ clip was sparked by his reaction when she played it to him last month.

“He was really taken by it, it was quite romantic to be honest,” she says.

“After putting all my emotions into it and creating that recording, it was nice to let it go. I wasn’t Billie (her character in The Secret Daughter) or Jessica Mauboy then, I was just Jess playing him a song.’’
