Most women go to the hairdressers – I didPlayboy.I chose the photographer, the location, what I did or didn't want to wear, and everything else about the pictures. I found it a really liberating, empowering experience. "[103]She later said that she had posed for the money, saying that she was broke following her divorce.[104] In October 1999, Minogue became engaged to 1997Formula 1World ChampionJacques Villeneuve,but their relationship ended in 2001.[105]

In early 2002, she began datingmusic producerandBrosbassistCraig Logan,whom she met while recording material forNeon Nights.Media reports in March 2002 claimed Minogue and Logan were engaged,[106]but in December 2002 they ended their relationship.[107]

In August 2008, Minogue began dating English model and former professional rugby league playerKris Smith.They met inIbiza,where Smith was celebrating his 30th birthday. On 9 January 2010, it was announced that Minogue was pregnant; the news was revealed after receiving her 12-week scan.[108]Minogue gave birth via caesarean section to an 8 lb 3oz/4 kg boy,[109]at Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on 5 July 2010.[110][109]She had previously planned for a home birth.[111][112][113]In April 2012, Minogueannounced on Twitterthat she and Smith had separated.

In May 2024, after Minogue stated "I identify as queer in a weird way," it was widely reported that Minogue had come out asqueer;[114]however, Minogue later clarified in an Instagram post that she is straight.[115]

Controversies[edit]

In 2002, theBritish National Party(BNP), a far-right and anti-immigration political party, falsely claimed that Minogue supported their cause following comments she had made in an interview with Britain'sGQ.In the interview, Minogue was quoted saying thatFrench National FrontleaderJean-Marie Le Penhad "struck a chord with people". Minogue responded saying that she had been misquoted and was "mortified" to be associated with the party adding that "Australia is the most multicultural melting pot of people. I'm completely proud of that."[116]Minogue responded to the British National Party's claims inGay Timesmagazine saying, "I am not a racist. That is not how I live my life. I have a Jewish manager, I perform in gay clubs, I come from a multicultural background and I am very proud of that."[117]

Minogue received much criticism duringseries 6 ofThe X Factor.Controversy began after the first live show on 10 October, after Minogue commented on press reports stating that Danyl Johnson was bisexual. After his performance of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going",in which he had changed the gender of the person being addressed in the song from male to female, Minogue remarked to Johnson on air that he didn't need to change the gender if the press was to be believed. Minogue's remarks sparked an online backlash.[118]Minogue released a statement on the issue:

I want to clear up exactly what happened on last night'sX Factorshow and post my sincere apologies to anyone who took offence. I made a comment about Danyl changing the lyrics of his song. It was meant to be a humorous moment about the fact he has an opportunity to have fun with his song. An openly bisexual singing a song that is lyrically a 'girl's song'. Danyl and I were joking about the very same thing in rehearsals on Friday, so it carried on to the show. I'd like to apologise to anyone that was offended by my comments, it was never my intention. I spoke to Danyl straight after the show last night and he wasn't offended or upset by my comments, and knew exactly what I was saying.[119]

Minogue also apologised on the live results show on 11 October, saying Johnson was not upset by her comments.[120]It has since been reported that British regulatorOfcomreceived around 4,000 complaints from viewers over the comment.[121]As a result, Ofcom launched an investigation, which cleared Minogue andThe X Factor.No penalties were imposed.

Media portrayal and other activities[edit]

Throughout her career, Minogue has often been compared with her sister,Kylie,whose career has been more successful. Referring to the comparison, Minogue said: "[I]t is hard to be compared all the time to Kylie. On the other hand, however, people will always try to compare you to somebody. Look atBritneyandChristina."[122]In an interview withEllein April 2009, Kylie criticisedX FactorjudgeLouis Walshfor his jibes at her sister: "I'm so proud of my sister and it annoys the hell out of me when comparisons between us are made. In England you lot don't know where she came from. She was on TV every week from 7 years old. It makes it harder for her when she gets Louis Walsh's rather pathetic jibes – one of which is she hasn't had a hit record and that's just not true." She also denied rumours that she did not get along with Cheryl Cole and that she had referred to former judgeSharon Osbourneas "so cheap".

Like her sister, Minogue has a sizeable gay following and has performed multiple times at theSydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Grasand the London nightclubG-A-Y.[123]She credits her gay following for much of her success, commenting that gay culture has "always been a part of [her] music".[122]Minogue openly supportsgay rightscauses for social equality and believes thatsame-sex marriagesshould be accepted by all governments.[122]

Minogue is an ambassador for theTerrence Higgins Trust,an organisation that works to increase awareness of AIDS. She joined the charity in hope that her endorsement would encourage people to discuss safe sex and the disease more openly.[124]In 2004 she posed nude, wrapped only in a red ribbon, to promoteWorld AIDS Dayin Australia and the UK.[124]She has long been a supporter of breast cancer research and in August 2008 became an ambassador for theOlivia Newton-JohnCancer and Wellness Centre Appeal.[125]
