Kylie Minogue has confirmed she has split from her fiancé Joshua Sasse.

The pop Princess, 48, thanked fans for their “love and support” as she announced on Instagram that they have decided to go their “separate ways”.

Minogue – who got engaged to the British actor in February 2016 – insisted that the pair “wish the best” for each other.

Alongside a picture of a sunrise she wrote: “Thank you for all your love and support throughout this recent chapter of my life.

“Thank you now for your love and understanding with the news that Josh and I have decided to go our separate ways.

“We wish only the best for each other as we venture towards new horizons. #thesunalwaysrises.”

It comes hours after it was reported that Minogue had kicked Sasse out of her West London home over fears that he was growing closer to 34-year-old Spanish actress Marta Milans.

A source told The Sun: “She is absolutely devastated, totally heartbroken.

“She really believed he was The One. But she no longer trusts him.”

Minogue met Sasse on the set of US TV show Galavant in summer 2015 after she made a guest appearance on the show.

The couple officially announced their engagement in February 2016, but said they wouldn’t tie the knot until same-sex marriage is legalised in Australia.

Minogue recently revealed that she would take Sasse’s name, but would incorporate her own into the mix.

“Kylie Sasse is a great name... Kylie Minogue has never exactly tripped off the tongue,” she told You magazine.

“I’ll definitely be taking Sasse but there will be Minogue in there somewhere.”
