Kylie's secret date

Kylie Minogue Rex Features

Last year, Kylie Minogue sent gossip-mongers in to overdrive after spending time with married movie director, Alexander Dahm. And the singer has been catching up with the Chilean again – but this time round, he's single.

Alexander confirmed the pair met up during his visit to London last month, but denied reports that he spent six nights with the star at her apartment in Chelsea.

He said in a recent interview: 'I'm a private person and would rather stay that way. But to honour the truth, I will tell you what really happened with Kylie.

'I met up with Kylie when I was in London but only once for a coffee. It was nothing but two people who have projects in common meeting to catch up.'

The pair sparked controversy last May when they were spotted together in Chile, while his heavily pregnant wife, Laura, stayed at home in Mexico City.

At the time, Laura described it as 'the week from hell', adding: I'm supposed to be enjoying the last few weeks of my pregnancy... instead I'm crying constantly on the phone, begging him to come home as he is being accused of sleeping with one of the world's biggest stars.'

Both parties denied a romantic involvement and Kylie issued a statement saying: 'It would be immoral to be involved with a married man.'

But the director has now come forward and said he and Laura were never actually married, and the relationship – for him, at least - was pretty much finished.

He said: ' Emotionally for me that relationship with Laura was over, but we were expecting another child, so we basically did it for our family.
'When all that stuff with Kylie came up last May, imagine then if I had said, "Wait, I am not married." Can you imagine the mayhem that would have caused?'
Meanwhile, Kylie is currently in New York promoting the release of her new album, X.

To quote Dahm, 'When all that stuff with Kylie came up last May, imagine then if I had said, "Wait, I am not married." Can you imagine the mayhem that would have caused?'

At the time Kylie said she found it offensive that people were speculating about her relationship with a married man and would find it "immoral" to become involved with a married man.


She never actually said she wasn't having an affair with him. So does the fact that Alexander Dahm was unmarried make it ok for Kylie?

It's all a bit fishy. Of course they've been having an affair!
