KYLIE Minogue has split from the toyboy lover she called: “The One.”
The shattered I Should Be So Lucky singer, 45, had been with Spanish model
Andres Velencoso, 35, for five years — but her frantic schedule became too
much to bear.
Kylie, newly signed as a judge on BBC1’s The Voice, had wanted to start a
family with him.
And her spokesman last night told The Sun On Sunday that the break-up was
“amicable” and no one else was involved.
A pal of Kylie revealed: “Kylie and Andres haven’t spent much time together
because she’s been holed up in a studio in LA working on her new album.
“He’s also been trying to carve out an acting career for himself.
“When she signed up for The Voice they knew they couldn’t cope with the
long-distance pressures the job would put on them.”
The insider said that although the couple remain friends, she has been left
“heartbroken”. The pal added “This is a big blow for her.”
They met filming an ad for her perfume in 2008. And she said last year: “He’s
the one. Sound the alarm, four years. I think it’s a record. I’m pretty
settled.”
And Andres last year also revealed he wanted kids with her. But they were
rarely seen together in the past 12 months.
Her work was also blamed for her 2007 split from French actor Olivier
Martinez, now raising a kid with actress wife Halle Berry.
Kylie’s exes also include Jason Donovan, 45, rocker Lenny Kravitz, 49, and
late INXS singer Michael Hutchence.
Star’s dirty half dozen
