Is Kylie Minogue in a Relationship Now?
As of 2026, Kylie is not in a relationship. She ended her relationship with Paul Solomons in 2023 and has not publicly dated anyone since. However, she seems content with her single status. In an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, she shared, “No, I don’t have a boyfriend. I was in a relationship and when that ended I realised I was OK on my own. I’m definitely getting pickier.”
She also mentioned what she considers a major red flag in dating: “Narcissists. I’ve dated one, and I’m very grateful I now have that knowledge. That’s like my red hot ‘no.’”
In a February 2024 interview with The Mirror, Kylie added, “I’m single and enjoying this freedom and the liberty.” She went on to reflect on past relationships, saying, “There’s some romances I maybe could have done without, but it’s all part of what makes us human and our understanding of everything.”
Has Kylie Minogue Ever Been Married?
Despite having numerous high-profile romances, Kylie has never been married. She became engaged to Joshua Sasse in 2015, but the couple broke up before tying the knot.
Who Has Kylie Minogue Dated?
Kylie has had several notable relationships throughout her career:
- Jason Donovan: Her first high-profile romance was with fellow Neighbours co-star Jason Donovan. The on-screen couple’s relationship blossomed off-screen in 1984, and the two dated until 1989.
- Michael Hutchence: Kylie’s relationship with INXS lead singer Michael Hutchence drew significant media attention. The magnetic couple dated from 1989 to 1991, and remained good friends right up until Michael’s tragic death in 1997.
- Lenny Kravitz: Kylie briefly dated rock icon Lenny Kravitz in 1991, adding a touch of rock ‘n’ roll to her romantic history. Despite the brevity, their connection remains a notable chapter in Kylie’s love life.
- Stéphane Sednaoui: Kylie briefly dated French director and photographer Stéphane Sednaoui during the mid-’90s. The couple kept their relationship on the down low, though, so there are not many details to share…
- James Gooding: British model James Gooding captured Kylie’s heart when they first met at the Brit Awards in March 2000. The pair then graced many red carpets together, captivating fans with their stylish appearances. Ultimately, though, they called it quits in 2003.
- Olivier Martinez: Kylie Minogue’s romance with French actor Olivier Martinez was a notable chapter in her love life; they first got together in 2003 and dated for five years. The couple’s relationship included many high-profile appearances at events, where they showcased their chemistry. Olivier was also a great support to Kylie when she was diagnosed with cancer in 2005. However, the two mutually split in 2007, remaining on good terms to this day.
- Andrés Velencoso: Kylie’s relationship with Spanish model Andrés Velencoso endured for several years, from 2008 to 2013. The couple shared a glamorous and jet-setting lifestyle, often photographed together at premieres and events. However, they ultimately broke up due to ‘work pressures and conflicting work schedules’.
- Joshua Sasse: Kylie began dating British actor Joshua Sasse in 2015, and when, a few months later, the two got engaged, it generated headlines around the world. The couple then vowed not to wed until same-sex marriage was made legal in Australia, but the engagement was called off in February 2017, 10 months before same-sex marriage was legalised in Australia.
- Paul Solomons: Kylie dated Paul Solomons, the creative director of British GQ, from 2018 to 2023. The couple’s relationship was characterised by a balance of public appearances and private moments. They spent the majority of the 2020 COVID lockdown together, but when lockdowns ended, and the world slowly went back to normal, the couple ended up doing long distance; it’s rumoured that this was the downfall of their relationship.
