Bellamy met his girlfriend Gaia Polloni in a bar in Milan. During this meeting, they started "talking, or something" - Polloni's English wasn't very adept at the time. According to an interview with Polloni published in March 2007, they had been together for six years and engaged for two months. Said interview also revealed that she was 26 years old when the interview took place.[1] Thus, the initial meeting probably took place in early 2001 and they got engaged in early 2007.
Polloni claimed to get up at 06:00 every morning and drive for an hour through dense traffic to Milan, where she was (or is) doing an internship at San Raffaele Hospital with "psychotic" patients, as part of training to become a clinical psychologist.[1] Bellamy's account appears to be different however. He has said that she is actually a medical doctor, suggesting that she is a psychiatrist rather than psychologist.[2] As of July 2007, Polloni is now a Doctor of Clinical Psychology.
She took a break in her training after meeting Bellamy to move with him to the UK, and when Polloni decided to move back to Italy and finish her training, Bellamy decided to follow her. They now live near the lake Como.[1]
During the pre-release media coverage of Muse, Bellamy stated that a "couple" of the tracks were inspired by his girlfriend, particularly by her nagging. Said tracks possibly include Map of the Problematique. Polloni believes that Starlight "belongs" to them, and Bellamy dedicated Starlight to her at the DatchForum, Milan in December 2006.[3] Whilst Bellamy is rehearsing songs, he asks Polloni to play bass with him.[1]
Polloni "quite often" goes with Bellamy on tour as his personal stylist. When she doesn't, he brings back a present for her.[1]
There was alot of speculation as to whether or not they had broken up or not. At the 02 Arena during Map of the Problematique Matt Bellamy changed the lyrics from "Since I met you" to "Since i lost you" In an Interview for Big Day Out he mentioned that they had broken up.
Matt and Gaia broke up in mid-December of 2009.
