'It's a great sadness for her': Dannii Minogue reveals sister Kylie 'always wanted kids' more than her as she reflects on the singer giving up hope on having a family
Becoming a mother in 2010 'changed everything' for Dannii Minogue.
Yet, the Let It Shine judge has admitted it was her older sister and music icon Kylie, who 'always wanted kids and not her' in a candid interview with The Sunday Telegraph Magazine.
The 45-year-old Australian beauty - who has been by her sibling's side at every twist and turn life has thrown at them - admitted it's 'a great sadness' that Kylie, 48, has given up hope for a family of her own, following her 2005 breast cancer battle.

Family: Dannii Minogue has admitted it was her older sister and music icon Kylie, who 'always wanted kids' in a candid interview with The Sunday Telegraph Magazine
Discussing life before her adorable son Ethan, the former X Factor judge revealed that her sister had natural maternal instincts which she was envious of.
Now a mother, Dannii explained that she loves to see her closest confidant with her darling boy.
She said: 'Growing up it was Kylie who always wanted kids and I never did, When my brother Brendan had his little boy (Charles, now 10) I hadn't a clue how to hold him. I remember being really impressed by Kylie because she just instinctively knew what to do.

'When he was a bit older, she'd be the one rolling on the floor with him, making him laugh his head off and I'd be thinking: "What do I do?" When I got pregnant I was completely shocked. But having a baby everything. Kylie has been incredible with Ethan. She just loves him - I love to see them together.'
Kylie has been decidedly honest in her omissions about her desires and difficulty to start a family of her own.
Most recently, the Spinning Around hitmaker admitted to The Sunday Times Magazine she has been forced to consider her 'options' when it comes to having children one day after she was diagnosed in 2005 with breast cancer, aged 37.

Despite winning her battle, she revealed that she has had to consider other paths to motherhood, having taken it for 'granted' but is 'crazy' about being an auntie to her three nephews.
Reflecting on the love her sister holds for Ethan, Dannii admitted the way she is with children is far more poignant now that she has given up hope of having her own brood.
She said: 'It's a great sadness for her, it's a great sadness for me and it's also made me really understand how blessed I was to be a mother. Kylie wrote a song called Flower about how she feels about motherhood. It's so beautiful it makes me cry. But you just don't know what is going to happen in life.'

Speaking about what motherhood has done for her, Dannii gushed that her little boy - who she had with her British model ex Kris Smith - is 'the real sunshine in my life'.
Completely transformed by her new role, Dannii left The X Factor Australia in 2016 to be there for her son's first year of primary school in Melbourne.
Now appearing on UK screens for BBC's new entertainment show Let It Shine, she admitted her commute works out better travelling to London rather than move to Sydney for four months for The X Factor so she can be there for her son.
Meanwhile, the singer is happily loved-up with her music producer boyfriend Adrian Newman - who she has been seeing for two years.
The couple are notoriously private about their romance with the brunette beauty previously admitting to TV Week in 2015: 'I don't talk about Adrian because he's the most private person in the world.'
