Timmy Trumpet's Breakup: Turning Pain into Art

0:00On April 21st, Australian DJ Timmy Trumpet just announced he's splitting from his wife Annette Thompson-Yai after five years of marriage. The 43-year-old musician, famous for his 2014 hit Freaks with Savage, shared the news openly with fans. They met back in 2011 at Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas and tied the knot in a big ceremony in Budapest in June 2022. He proposed during a live music set in July 2020, dropping to one knee on stage or front of a huge crowd. Timmy's been touring non-stop, playing over 150 shows worldwide this year, which he says helped him push through the tough times. Fans picked up on the cracks early in 2025 when their social media posts together dried up around February. Annette stopped wearing her wedding ring by April and got a new daston puppy calling at her next chapter, with no sign of Timmy in her picks. He stepped back from dropping new tracks for a bit to sort his head out, but now he's reconnecting with music as therapy.

1:00All his releases this year come from a raw, real place, inspired by the breakup, and he says sharing it feels more vulnerable than ever. His fans have been his rock, giving him strength to keep performing at full throttle. With shows still packed and beats on the way, Timmy's turning pain into art and hitting the roads stronger.
