Dannii Minogue’s love life: A look at the singer’s relationships after star revealed she ‘identifies as queer’

Dannii Minogue fought back tears as she revealed she calls herself ‘queer’ at the launch of lesbian dating show I Kissed A Girl.

The show, hosted by Dannii, 52, features ten single women living together in a luxury Italian home in the hope of sparking a romance.

Dannii, who is known to only have relationships with men in public, said at the event: “I identify as queer in a strange way.”

She responded to some of the girls on the series and made it clear that they were into the Australian star in the first episode.

Dannii also said, “This is so important. There has been no show for the girls in the reality gay dating world. It’s like we need this. I hope there are parties all over the country.’

One of Dannii’s most high-profile relationships was with Australian actor Julian McMahon to whom she was married from 1993 to 1995.

After the frank confession about her identity, MailOnline looks back on the singer’s love life.

One of Dannii’s most high-profile relationships was with Australian actor Julian McMahon, who she met in 1990 while working on the soap Home And Away.

Dannii and Julian, the son of former Australian Prime Minister William McMahon, were married for two years before divorcing in 1995.

Dannii had a difficult relationship with Julian’s mother Sonia, who hated the singer and threatened not to attend the couple’s wedding.

The hitmaker previously said: ‘There was no relationship, she wouldn’t talk to me, I wasn’t allowed to be in her house, she said she wasn’t coming to the wedding. We just had no idea how to deal with it; we were just trying.”

In 1999, Dannii became engaged to 1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve, son of Ferrari Formula 1 driver GIles Villeneuve. However, that was not the intention, as the couple separated two years later.

Three years later, Dannii began her next serious romance by dating Scottish music producer and bassist of the band Bros, Craig Logan.

In March 2002 it was reported that the couple was engaged, but by December that year they had split.

Dannii dated English model Kris Smith between 2008 and 2012, with the former couple sharing son Ethan, 13

In August 2008, Dannii started dating English male model and former professional rugby league player Kris Smith. The pair met in Ibiza while Kris was celebrating his 30th birthday.

In January 2010, it was announced that Dannii was pregnant and in July she gave birth to the couple’s son, Ethan, 13.

Dannii and Kris split two years later, with the star confirming the breakup on Twitter. She wrote, “It saddens me to tell you that Kris and I have separated. We continue to care for each other and ask for privacy during this difficult time, especially for our son Ethan, who remains our first priority.”

Since 2014, Dannii has been in a relationship with singer and music producer Adrian Newman. The couple is rarely seen together due to Adrian’s desire for privacy.

In 2022, the singer laughed after being quizzed by radio host Kyle Sandilands about her “secret new guy.”

‘It’s no secret!’ she replied. ‘You ask me this every time, we’ve been dating for nine years!

“Every time someone prints a picture of him, there’s talk of ‘secret man’, ‘never seen’… He’s just not interested in anything to do with the public eye.”

The singer told Who magazine in 2018 that she was “extremely happy” in her love life and doesn’t feel the need to share details about it

Dannii and Andrew, a singer and music producer, made their first public appearance in 2014 at the Australian Open in Melbourne.

The singer told Who magazine in 2018 that she was “extremely happy” in her love life and doesn’t feel the need to share details about it.

She said: ‘We don’t talk about our relationship. We just keep that super private. But yes, I am very happy.’
