Inside Kylie Minogue and Paul Solomons’ ‘secret Melbourne wedding’

Kylie Minogue engagement to Paul Solomons was finally confirmed by his ‘thrilled’ step-mother last week. 

And reports claim the pop princess, 52, has been hiding yet another secret – that she’s preparing to marry the British GQ in her homeland of Australia.  

Kylie and her Welsh beau, 46, recently arrived in Victoria after flying down from the UK, and are said to be planning a low-key wedding in Melbourne

‘Kylie has said for years that when she does marry, it will be in her beloved hometown of Melbourne,’ an insider told New Idea magazine on Monday. 

‘Her parents are here and are getting on a bit, so it’s hard to get them to Britain in this current climate’, they added. 

Kylie is said to have envisioned herself walking down the aisle at a low-key ceremony with close friends and family.

However, according to Woman’s Day magazine, her plans have quickly ‘snowballed’ into something more extravagant.  

‘I heard Kylie wanted a really low-key wedding once she realised Paul was the one. But now she’s back in Melbourne, plans are snowballing a bit. She’s totally caught up in the moment and thrilled to be home’, they claimed.  

Elsewhere, other sources speculate that Kylie has recruited her younger sister Dannii, 49, to be maid of honour.

‘There’s no way Kylie would get married without Dannii by her side,’ a Woman’s Day insider said on Monday. 

‘Those two have been thick as thieves since they were kids and she’s a shoo-in for maid of honour’. 

Just last week, the sisters were spotted on a luxury shopping spree at Melbourne’s Crown, perhaps shopping for wedding outfits.

Kylie has been dating British GQ creative Director Paul since 2018 and in recent months has remained bashful over any speculation they are set to wed. 

According to New Idea, the couple have been secretly engaged ‘for a good few months’, after Paul proposed with a ‘large, diamond ring in yellow gold’.    

Kylie and Paul’s happy news was accidentally revealed by former pop star turned actress Billie Piper, 38, in an interview with British ELLE magazine, released earlier this month.

Gloria also said she had met Kylie and liked her. ‘She’s very nice I’m thrilled they’re engaged.
