Kylie Minogue 'wonders what it would be like to be a mum'

Pop star Kylie Minogue said she wonders what it would be like to be a mum but has accepted she will not have children.

The Australian singer, 50, said that she does have some regrets but she tries not to dwell on them.

Minogue was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 at the age of 36 and said that altered the course of her life.

She told Sunday Times Style magazine: "Realistically, you're getting to the late side of things. And, while that wasn't on my agenda at the time, it changed everything.

"I don't want to dwell on it, obviously, but I wonder what that would have been like."

She added: "Everyone will say there are options, but I don't know. I'm 50 now, and I'm more at ease with my life.

"I can't say there are no regrets, but it would be very hard for me to move on if I classed that as a regret, so I just have to be as philosophical about it as I can."

"You've got to accept where you are and get on with it."

Minogue has had a number of high-profile relationships over the years but said that she has never been heartbroken.

She also called her previous romances "mistakes".

Referring to her current relationship with Paul Solomons, GQ magazine's creative director, Minogue said: "I've met someone who I feel good with. It feels right."

She has previously dated the likes of late INXS star Michael Hutchence, French actor Olivier Martinez and British actor Joshua Sasse.

She was engaged to the latter until their split in 2017.

"I regret lying to myself," Minogue said.

"Like, 'This is OK', and doing the merry dance. When that honest bit inside of you knows, but you're busy covering it up? I regret doing that.

"It's not fair on yourself.... But I don't see myself doing it again."

Minogue will take to the stage at Glastonbury Festival this year.

She will be performing in the Legend slot, 14 years after she was previously meant to appear at the event, when she was forced to pull out of her due to her breast cancer diagnosis.

Of the forthcoming gig, Minogue said: "I'm bound to cry... It's going to happen.

"When I was meant to be there, I watched from Australia. I was dealing with much bigger things back then, but when I'm there it will take me back to when I wasn't there. But I'll work through that."
