Update (06/02) Kylie has taken to social media to clear up the speculation, insisting she and Paul Solomons are happy in their relationship – but not engaged.

She tweeted: “Lovers … we ALL love LOVE but rumours are getting out of hand! Paul is [heart] We are [happy] but not [engaged]. You are all [great] and we [love] you.

Update (05/02): A spokesperson for Kylie has denied that the star is engaged, despite close friend Billie Piper and her partner Paul Solomons’ stepmother seemingly confirming the news.

They told The Sun: “It’s not true. They are happy as they are.”

Kylie Minogue’s career rocketed in 2020 thanks to her record-breaking LP DISCO – and that’s not the only thing putting a smile on the pop star’s face.

Following much speculation, it’s been confirmed the Magic hitmaker is engaged to her boyfriend Paul Solomons.

The pair’s engagement was initially spilled by mutual friend Billie Piper in an essay she wrote for ELLE UK magazine, in which the Because We Want To star described Paul as Kylie’s “fiancé”

His stepmother, Gloria Solomons, has since confirmed the happy news, admitting she is “thrilled” for the couple.

“She’s very nice I’m thrilled they’re engaged. It’s very exciting,” Gloria tells MailOnline

“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.”

Recalling a night in a Covent Garden nightclub when she collapsed and Paul came to her aid, Billie revealed in her piece: “It was 2000 when I passed out in a Covent Garden club – ‘foaming at the mouth’, apparently, but I have no reason to believe that.

“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.)

“My ‘dramatic turn’ – as I liked to call it – was a result of days of Diet Cokes and Marlboro Lights fuelling a very active eating disorder, cystitis that crept up my back and into my kidneys, a goblet of sweet white wine and a mind and body dissociation that I feared for the very first time.”

Kylie and Paul have been dating since 2018, after being set up by a mutual friend, with the Kiss Me Once star previously gushing of her man: “He is so nice… He is such a good support. We have a laugh. We have both been through enough in our lives and just met at the right time, so it’s lovely.”

“All my friends said to me, ‘You were acting different’,” added Kylie. “And that’s when I knew that there was something. Because I thought I was acting cool but maybe I wasn’t.”

DISCO saw Kylie top the UK charts back in November, 2020 and earned her a spot in the history books as the first female artist to score a No. 1 album across five consecutive decades.

In a review of DISCO, Retro Pop said the album, “comes just in time to help us dance through the darkness and back into the light.”

Kylie’s showing no sign of slowing down – she recently revealed she’s headed into the studio with Jessie Ware to record new music.

Her Kids collaborator Robbie Williams also teased a “big” duet between the pair, which is set to appear on his forthcoming album.

“I have a song with Miss Kylie Minogue,” he confirmed

“I have big plans for it if she is up for it. I have big plans.”
