Dannii Minogue steps out with boyfriend Kris Smith for first time

The X Factor judge goes public with relationship

Dannii Minogue was linked to Formula 1 racing driver Lewis Hamilton this year

Dannii Minogue has dismissed rumours she's split from boyfriend Kris Smith.

The X Factor judge was reported to have parted ways with the rugby hunk last week.

But they showed a united front at the Children's Bafta Awards in London on Sunday night. 

‘As with any new relationship, it’s best to take things slowly, which is why I’ve kept him hidden for a few months,’ she says.

‘But he’s not hiding anymore – Kris is my rock and it’s so nice to have him down at the X Factor studio every week to support me!’

And Kris, who met Dannii, 36, in Ibiza over the summer, is happy to help.

‘Things are going really well,’ he tells the Daily Mail. ‘I like to help as much as I can.'
