IT’S been a while since we’ve seen Dannii Minogue looking this happy – and it
looks like it’s at least partly down to her hot new man.
The 42-year-old star and Adrian Newman, 41, have been dating since late last
year, but this is the first time we’ve seen them so openly together.
And Dannii laughed and looked relaxed as the pair strolled hand-in-hand around
the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne yesterday.
The former X Factor judge looked stylish in black leather trousers, black
jacket and a Fendi scarf, while record producer Adrian kept it casual in
jeans, a beanie and huge blue trainers.
Dannii chatted to BBC Radio 5 Live, telling them: “It’s amazing, I
haven’t been to a race for a long time. It’s my home town, I’m loving it.”
And she later tweeted: “Grid girl for a day @ausgp Here to support my
mates @damiim & @jensonbutton #ausgp #raceday #F1.”
Adrian used to be the lead singer in a band called Lovebugs, and his musical
expertise could come in handy as Dannii prepares to re-launch her music
career six years after her last album.
It will mean juggling music with being a full-time mum to her four-year-old
son Ethan, as well as her judging job on Australia’s X Factor.
Insiders say Dannii’s already recorded six tracks of “dance orientated”
music and it will cover deeply personal issues like her split from Ethan’s
dad Kris Smith back in April 2012.
