Kylie Minogue has recently opened up about her past relationships, particularly highlighting her time with the late INXS frontman, Michael Hutchence. In a candid interview with The Sunday Times on May 16, 2026, Minogue, now 57, referred to Hutchence as "probably" the love of her life. She reflected on their relationship, stating, "I've had lots of relationships, some were love, some were not. My relationship with him, or our relationship at the time, was not for that long, but it had a profound effect on me." (usmagazine.com)
Minogue and Hutchence were together from 1989 to 1991. Despite the relatively short duration, their relationship left a lasting impact on her. Hutchence, known for his charismatic stage presence and as the lead singer of INXS, tragically passed away in 1997.
In the same interview, Minogue also discussed her relationship with former Neighbours co-star Jason Donovan, with whom she remains good friends. Reflecting on their time together, she mentioned, "We fancied each other. The love story in the show came first and then it became a real thing." (usmagazine.com)
