Kylie Minogue denies reports that she is engaged to partner Paul Solomons
The pair have dated since 2018
A representative of Kylie Minogue has been forced to deny reports that the pop star and her partner Paul Solomons are engaged after both Billie Piper and Solomon’s stepmother Gloria Solomons fuelled the rumours.
The rep said that the reports were “not true” and stated that the pair “are happy as they are”. It comes after Gloria Solomons, who has been married to Paul’s dad for 34 years, told the Daily Mail that she was ‘thrilled’ with the engagement.
She added, "She’s very nice. I’m thrilled they’re engaged. It’s very exciting."
"But, I'm sorry, I cannot tell you any more because I've been told not to. I respect my son and I respect Kylie too much to say any more."
This was in response to Billie Piper, who referred to GQ’s Creative Director Paul as 52-year-old Kylie’s ‘fiancé’ in an entry for the March issue of Elle magazine.
The actor was recalling her experience after the Covent Garden nightclub collapse in 2000, where Paul carried her from the scene.
She said, "My PR rang through to my hospital bed to fill in some blanks – I’d been carried out of the club by a man, apparently. A hero or a pest? I wondered. It’s always hard to tell."
"Later, I’d find out his name is Paul, like my dad. He’s Welsh, works at GQ and will, in time, become a dear friend, a blinding success and Kylie Minogue’s fiancé. Hero, not pest. Kylie knows."
The singer was introduced to Paul by friends in March 2018 and the pair confirmed their relationship in April of the same year. After travelling to Australia to introduce Paul to her family, she told The Mirror, ‘Who says you can't be soppy and romantic later in life? Particularly when you find a good and true love.
‘I feel even more thankful and lucky that I have this in my life now... I'm really being taken care of.’
Kylie was previously engaged to actor Joshua Sasse but the pair split in 2017.
