Her brother Alfonso said when asked about the reports Joshua’s increasing closeness with Madrid-born Marta were to blame: 'I have no idea what you’re talking about, no idea at all.

'I know who Kylie Minogue is of course but I don’t know where my sister comes into all this. It’s something that’s totally foreign to me. 

'I haven’t got anything to say because I don’t know anything. If I did, I doubt I would say anything anyway.

'Knowing my dad, he would probably just hang up the phone if he got asked about something like this.'   

New York-based beauty Marta can be seen enjoying a luxurious lifestyle on her Instagram account, sharing snapshots from her exotic holidays, on-set antics and girly gossips with her 2.3k followers.

Marta isn't shy about showing off her fantastic figure in a bikini in her sun-kissed snaps from her recent getaways.  

Split: Kylie has reportedly ended her engagement to Joshua Sasse over suspicions about his friendship with co-star Marta. 

Several images see the brunette indulging in her passion for yoga, practicing her moves with her girlfriends on the beach.

Marta is joined by twin sister Gadea Pérez-Andújar, who is a jewellery designer based in Hawaii, in several of the pictures. 

Marta can also be seen partying with friends, attending charity fundraisers and trying out new skills like pottery. 

She is friends with fellow Spanish beauty Elsa Pataky, who is married to Chris Hemsworth, recently sharing a sweet picture of them catching up over a glass of wine. 

The actress got her big break in ABC's Killer Women, which was produced by Modern Family star Sofia Vergara. 

Her film credits include Shame, The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby and Devoured, and she has also starred in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

Breaking her silence: The singer confirmed the sad news on social media on Friday morning as she thanked her loyal fans for their messages of concern and support - however, she has yet to comment on the reason behind the split

Sasse is alleged to have bonded with Marta while filming his latest project No Tomorrow in Canada last year, with a source who worked on the show telling The Sun it was ‘well known’ that the pair had been close.

Marta, 34, was born and raised in Madrid and is reportedly fluent in seven languages, including Russian.

The actress helps run a family business called Santa Gadea Organic Goat Cheese, which imports cheese to the US from Spain.  

She's also involved with Art of Elysium, an artists' charity which helps sick and developmentally challenged children both in New York and LA.

Marta likes to sing, is an expert yoga practitioner and supports Real Madrid.

After graduating from New York University with a double major in Acting and Art History, she found work in local theatre productions.

Marta comes from a wealthy family; her father Alfonso Perez-Andujar is a millionaire landowner, who has reportedly upset locals by allegedly usurping public footpaths.  

The star is said to be behind the number of furious arguments Kylie reportedly had with Joshua before travelling to France for Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week last month.

And it is on her return that The Sun reports she decided to end things with her partner - whom she met in the summer of 2015.

Kylie confirmed the news of their break-up on social media on Friday morning as she thanked her loyal fans for their messages of concern and support.

Alongside a picture of a beautiful sunrise, Kylie wrote: '#lovers ... Thank you for all your love and support throughout this recent chapter of my life.

'Thank you now for your love and understanding with the news that Josh and I have decided to go our separate ways.  

'We wish only the best for each other as we venture towards new horizons. #thesunalwaysrises'.

A spokesperson for Kylie declined to comment. MailOnline is awaiting comment from Marta and Joshua's representatives.   

Marta, who is better known abroad than in her home country, is one of three children born to millionaire landowner and dairy farmer Alfonso Perez-Andujar and his sculptor wife Maria.

The 34-year-old, who is believed to act under a stage name rather than her birth name, is the eldest child.

Her younger brother, a physicist who shares his dad’s first name, did a masters degree in wind energy in Denmark before returning to Spain.

The youngest sibling - called Gadea - was the inspiration for the organic goats cheese which the family make called Santa Gadea and which Marta often references on her social media sites.

Gadea studied Marine Biology at the University of Hawaii. She describes herself on social media as a biacoustic researcher.

The family patriarch, the owner and director of the company Santa Gadea and Fuentemorera, owns a 2,000-acre farm in the northern Spanish province of Burgos where the family cheese is produced.

The company website says the'misty valley' where the organic farm is hidden has seen 'battles waged on horseback and knights forcing kings to swear oaths.'

The farm is home to 1,200 goats said to sleep inside a 'magnificent construction of French design' fed on organic crops with no trace of chemical fertilisers.

The goats produce around 3,000 litres of milk a day which is used to make 3,000 to 4,000 pieces of cheese on a daily basis.

Around 250 acres is given over to feeding the animals on the farm, which boasts of making its own compost in a completely natural way.

Four solar farms and and a wind farm on the estate makes it energy self-sufficient.

Sad split: Kylie, 48, said of her break-up with Joshua, 'We wish only the best for each other as we venture towards new horizons.
