But 18 months after her engagement to Joshua ended, the Aussie superstar has revealed she is happier than ever after finding love with GQ mag boss Paul Solomons.
In an exclusive interview, Kylie told how her current relationship measures up to those in her past, saying: “It doesn’t compare. It’s lovely.
“He’s not on the road with me because he’s got a job and commitments, as much as I would love him to be.
“He is in my thoughts throughout every show.
"I am so appreciative of what I have in my life right now.”
The Can’t Get You Out Of My Head singer is currently on her Golden arena tour, after her album of the same name became Kylie’s sixth UK No1 in April.
But she has another special show to look forward to, after The Sun revealed Kylie will fill the Sunday “legends slot” at Glastonbury next June.
Staying coy ahead of the official announcement, she teased: “If it were to happen, it would definitely be very emotional.
“I’ve never had the Glastonbury experience as a punter or really as a performer.
It would be amazing.”
But, after turning 50 this year, Kylie, who has shows in London tonight and tomorrow ahead of dates in Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Dublin and Belfast, admitted she is unsure of her future when it comes to performing live.
Asked if she has ever considered following in Sir Elton John's footsteps by quitting touring, she said: “After every tour I say to my team, ‘I don’t know if I can do that again’.
And they just roll their eyes going, ‘You’ve said that, you’re going to want to do it again’.
“It can be taxing as you’re away from your home and loved ones.
“For me, I have never been a good planner, I don’t think that far into the future.
I just want to enjoy this one.”
One thing she might be planning is a compilation of all her biggest songs, ahead of the 30th anniversary of her Especially For You collaboration with Jason Donovan in November.
Kylie added: “There’s talk of a greatest hits, which could be interesting.
“Let me just get through this tour and I’ll see how I feel.
I’m loving every second of it.”
Judging by the reaction so far, her fans are too.

TOMORROW’s BBC Music Day just got even bigger.
Lisa Stansfield and Rowetta Idah will perform on a Manchester Metrolink Music Tram while Gabrielle and Nina Nesbitt will be part of Busk in London.
Bebe and Rita in Harmony
THEY’RE two of the hottest women in pop right now – so it’s no wonder Rita Ora and Bebe Rexha have hit it off.
The duo hosted a party in West London on Wednesday, for the first UK meeting of Women In Harmony – a social circle for music industry creatives to “stick together”.
The pair outlined to guests their plans to stamp out sexism and inequality in the music biz – and left me in no doubt they’re serious about making a difference.
Bebe told me: “Women in this industry get called all sorts and it has to change.
For some reason if we are strong and know what we want, we get called a bitch.
Nobody says that to men.
So I say, fine call me a b*tch, but call me a bad b*tch.”
"Rita added: “I’m so proud of what Bebe’s doing.
I’m in awe of the women here.”

Robbie Nails Man-icure but Gary Apple pips him
ROBBIE WILLIAMS has taken his “daddy duties” to the next level – by letting his six-year-old daughter Teddy paint his nails multi-colours.
The X Factor judge showcased his manicure to his 1.5million Instagram followers yesterday.
And despite being impressed by his new look, Rob might not be so pleased with what pal Gary Barlow has to say about him in his new book A Better Me, out October 4.
The Take That frontman admits he found Robbie “annoying” and reveals they even used to get competitive over dieting.
He writes: “Forget anthems, record sales, tickets sold, houses and all the other status symbols.
The battle between Rob and Gaz would be fought over apples.
“Rob and I were both on sparkly leotard form, we were top peacocks and we felt good.
It was all a load of fun, but I particularly remember him eating an apple and I watched him eat the whole thing before making sure he was watching me as I made a point of cutting my own apple in two.
‘Think I’ll just have half’.”
At least they’re now thick as thieves.

Journey's Steve Perry 'stopped believing' until now
THEIR 1981 classic Don’t Stop Believin’ was the song that kept on giving, re-surging in Glee, The Sopranos and Charlize Theron's Hollywood thriller Monster.
But in tragic ironic fashion, the message was lost on Journey frontman Steve Perry, who lost faith in music in 1998 and spent two decades in seclusion.
Now, in a heart-breaking interview, the US superstar has revealed how losing his cancer-stricken girlfriend of 18 months Kellie Nash drove him back to the scene.
Speaking at a special playback of his emotional debut solo record Traces, due for release on October 5, Steve recalled: “It’s hard for me to still talk about it because it gets better but you don’t get over it. I lost her.
“Before she passed she said to me one night, ‘Honey, I need to ask you something.’
“My favourite time was when we would talk each other to sleep.
“She said, ‘Will you make me a promise – promise me you won’t go back into isolation because I think it would make this all for nothing.’
“It was such a huge statement. What you’re hearing now is me keeping that promise.
“The good news is I have a completely broken heart, but that’s the good news because my life is enriched and I’m writing music again.”
Fans should have the tissues on standby.
