Mary Austin, the woman who was famously Freddie Mercury’s muse and lifelong confidante, has finally broken her decades-long silence at the age of 73, revealing intimate details about her relationship with the legendary Queen frontman. In a heartfelt and candid interview, Austin, who has long kept out of the spotlight, shared stunning revelations about her life with Mercury that have left fans and the music world in awe.
For years, Mary Austin was known as the woman who Freddie once referred to as "the love of my life," even though Mercury was openly gay later in his life. Despite their romantic relationship ending, their bond remained unbreakable until his passing in 1991. But Austin’s recent confessions have unveiled layers of their connection that the public never knew.
Mary admitted that her relationship with Freddie went far beyond love—it was a soul-deep connection that transcended traditional boundaries. "We were everything to each other. I don’t think anyone ever understood what we meant to one another, but Freddie and I didn’t need words." In her emotional account, she spoke of the pressures that came with being so closely linked to one of the most iconic figures in music history and how, in many ways, she has never fully moved on from his death.
Austin also shared that Freddie entrusted her with more than just his heart. She was made the heir to the bulk of his fortune and his luxurious home, Garden Lodge, where she still resides. Her deep love and commitment to him was evident in her remarks: "It felt like he left me to look after him even after he was gone. It was both a privilege and a heavy responsibility."
Mary’s revelations come as a surprise to many who always saw her as a private, enigmatic figure in Freddie’s life, but her honesty has brought to light the profound connection they shared—a bond that remains one of the most unique and cherished relationships in rock history.
