Kylie Minogue, 55, is set to rock the BRIT Awards 2024 with a stellar performance as she is presented with the BRITs Global Icon Award.
The 'Padam Padam' songstress began her career as Charlene Mitchell in hit Australian soap Neighbours before going on to conquer the charts in her homeland, the UK and further afield. With a spectacular discography and some iconic outfits to boot (we're talking about those gold hot pants), fans have taken a particular interest in the singer's personal life - particularly her boyfriend and dating timeline.
Kylie admirers already know about her famous sister, former X Factor judge Dannii Minogue, 52, but many have been wondering if she has a husband or any kids. After various high-profile relationships with Jason Donovan, 55, Michael Hutchence, and Joshua Sasse, 36, there is a lot of speculation regarding Kylie's current relationship status.
So is Kylie Minogue married or in a relationship? And what has she said about children? Here are all the answers you need.
Is Kylie Minogue married or in a relationship?
Kylie is not married and therefore does not have a husband. The 'Spinning Around' singer appears to be currently single after splitting from her long-term partner, former GQ executive, Paul Solomons.
The pair reportedly broke up due to distance, as Kylie lives in Australia and Paul is based in the UK.
A source told The Sun: "Long distance isn’t easy for any couple. Kylie and Paul really tried to make things work but ultimately the time difference was a killer - Paul couldn’t exactly nip to Melbourne for a long weekend whenever things got strained.
"Kylie initially wanted to keep the split quiet though as she really does not want the narrative to be ‘poor, unlucky-in-love-Kylie’s heartbreak’s again."
