Exactly one year after announcing their engagement, Kylie Minogue and Joshua Sasse have split. Kylie is said to have called off their weddingover concerns about Joshua's friendship with Spanish actress Marta Milans, and has asked him to leave the West London home they share.
Kylie and Joshua first met in in 2015 on the set of Galavant, and soon went public with their romance, making a number of public appearances together before confirming their engagement with an announcement in the 'Forthcoming Marriages' section of the Daily Telegraph in February 2016.
Since then, Kylie has been on top of the world. She has spoken on numerous occasions about their wedding plans, and less than two weeks ago, confirmed she would be taking Joshua's surname once they have tied the knot.
"When I look into Josh’s eyes, he is all I see and that make me very happy," she added. "There's a line in the movie Notting Hill that I always think of, when Julia Roberts is talking to Hugh Grant, and she says, 'I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.' For me, it’s that simple."
Now, as fans await confirmation that the couple have parted ways, HELLO! Online takes a look back at their love story…

"I can confirm it," she told 2DayFM, when asked if she was seeing the 27-year-old Brit. "He's amazing in it," she added of Joshua's TV performance. "It's such a fun show. There are so many guest stars on the show and I was one of them so yes, that's where we met."

"I love that. I do all of it," she said, adding that she wasn't shy about holding on to her boyfriend's little finger or putting her hand in his back pocket while out in public. "Can I confess we actually did get matching jumpers," Kylie said on Nova 96.9's Fitzy and Wippa. "I'm not kidding. They're not cheesy, I actually did a lot of research. I know it's all about the ugly sweater thing, but I didn't want them to be ugly. They say 'have a sassy Christmas', because his name is Sasse."

So even though on paper it might not look right, it just is right. "He is an absolutely brilliant, brilliant guy. And even if I try and act cool and natural, it's written all over my face that I am very happy."
