Dannii Minogue has split with her partner, Kris Smith.
The former X Factor judge and male model separated two weeks ago, and Kris has since moved out of their Melbourne home.
The couple had been together for four years after meeting in Ibiza and have a son, Ethan, now one.
Dannii confirmed the split in a series of posts on her Twitter page, writing: "It brings me great sadness to tell you that Kris & I have separated. We still care for each other & ask for privacy at this difficult time, in particular for our son Ethan who remains our number one priority... Needing to retreat for a while. Thank you for your ever loving continued support."
Kris also took to Twitter to to confirm he and Dannii had gone their separate ways, writing: "Dannii and I have a deep mutual love and respect for each other and although things have not worked out we have a gorgeous son together that we both love and implore everyone to respect our privacy at this challenging time."
There were first rumours all was not well between them in May last year, but they fiercely denied reports that they were splitting.
"Thanks for your concern. We're happy to be back at home in Melbourne together as a family," they said at the time.
"We are committed to our relationship and Ethan as always."
There was also a series of cryptic tweets from both Kris and Dannii, hinting they were on the rocks.
Last year Dannii posted on Twitter: “Never chase love. If it isn’t given freely, it’s not worth having”, while Kris replied: “You don’t know what you’ve lost til it’s gone.”
More recently Kris wrote on his profile: "It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice... not really sure what my job is anymore... but I do know I love my boy more than life..."

what is it with these celebs that cause their relationships to end with in a few years? maybe because the diva,s are very needy and attention seeking for their poor husbands.

They should have took time out from working, which they both can afford to do, to enjoy their son's early years and to bond as a family instead of jetting around. I know I would have given a choice. I know you feel like you loose your identity when a little one comes along but they grew up so fast and there comes a day when they don't need you so much. Maybe they'd still be together.....sad that they're not but sadly I'm not surprised.

"It's nice to be important, but it's important to be nice"?????
Who the hell is this guy?
Did he swallow a book of cheezy corporate bumper stickers or something??
Mind you, I couldn't stick that whiney Aussie accent every day...
Are you happy Dannii? "Noi, Oi'm nart"...eeuuwww!!!

Thinking of themselves is a thing of the past. They relinquished that when they created their son. Now he's here they should do their utmost to set aside their irritating differences that they see in each other, grow up and think of being a strong foundation for their son. He needs them more than they realise they need each other. When the sparks fly they all lose, but Etham will lose all of his life long after they have moved on. A hole like that cuts deep. Just imagine what Dannii and Kris will lose in shared custody, shame on them they are being utterly selfish. Their son should bind them, they have so much to share with him, so much laughter he will give them, maybe they are both suffering from post natal depression, they should think on. Put Ethan and his happiness first and grow up!

If a relationship isnt working then staying together for the sake of the children can be just as bad if not worse for them. Isnt it better to have 2 happy parents who are not together than 2 unhappy ones and a unhappy home.......

I know this isn't genuine to this celebrity couple, but why do they keep having children when they are clearly not in a stable, secure relationship. Today, very few couples get engaged, married and then children - it's have children and split up! I can't help but think that children are just another "I want"?
