Kylie Minogue has revealed that she is changing her name, but it's all for love.

The star, who is soon to marry fiance and actor Joshua Sasse, plans to take her husband's name when she gets married.


Minogue's name has been a household name for almost 30 years, thanks to a successful acting and singing career. 

In an interview with Daily Mail she said: "Kylie Sasse is a great name ... Kylie Minogue has never exactly tripped off the tongue.

"I'll definitely be taking Sasse but there will be Minogue in there somewhere."

The 48 year old met her fiance in 2015 when she starred alongside him in the US series Galavant.

Almost 20 years her junior, Minogue said: "When I look into Josh's eyes, he is all I see and that makes me very happy."

When Sasse proposed he presented the singer with an antique rectangular ring dating from 1908.

The pair have spoken out about their refusal to wed until same-sex marriages become legal across Australia.

"Overseas same-sex weddings are recognised in South Australia now but it makes sense and seems only right to us to only get married when it is okay for everyone to be able to marry who they love."
