Kylie Minogue ended her engagement to Joshua Sasse earlier this week, amid claims that he grew too close to Spanish actress Marta Milans.

And new pictures have emerged showing her ex-fiancé looking cosy with another woman - just one month after the jubilant pair had proudly announced their engagement last February.

The Galavant actor, 29, was spotted sharing a warm hug with a mystery brunette companion after the pair enjoyed a three-hour lunch in a London pub.

Steamy clinch: New pictures have shown the British actor Joshua Sasse, 29, looking cosy with a mystery woman - just one month after he had announced his engagement to Kylie Mingoue, 48, last February

The mystery female companion and Joshua certainly looked close as they embraced as Joshua sat on his motorbike.

Wrapping her arms around the actor, the brunette appeared to be comfortable with him as they bid each other farewell.

Hours earlier they were pictured heading to the pub, chatting away as they strolled along the streets. The woman looked casual in a striped red and blue scarf and puffa jacket.

Meanwhile, Joshua, sported a shearling-trim bomber jacket and stonewash jeans as he walked along in West London - the same area where he had shared a pad with Kylie. 

One onlooker told The Mirror about the West London meeting: 'They seemed very happy in each other's company. You could tell they were close and had a lot in common.

'They were laughing a lot. If you didn't know Joshua was with Kylie you might have thought they were a couple.'

They added: 'The lady gave Joshua an embrace and they seemed close. They were clearly very fond of each other.'

It comes as Australian pop princess Kylie is said to feel 'completely betrayed' by the British actor, 29, and has 'ditched' the diamond dazzler - amid claims he grew too close to Spanish actress Marta Milans, 34.

It comes as Joshua was allegedly still married to his ex Francesca Cini, who he has a three-year-old son with, when he hit it off with Kylie on the set of TV show Galavant in 2015 

A source told the Sunday People: 'She started to suspect Joshua over the festive period and they had been arguing since November.'

They continued: 'He was in London and so was Marta. There was a worry that they had met up and he wasn't being truthful to her. Kylie has ditched her ring. She just wants to move on.'

MailOnline has contacted a representative for Kylie for comment.

It comes amid claims Joshua was reportedly still wearing his wedding ring when filming began for Galavant - where Kylie met him.

Sources on the London film set have claimed they often discussed his wife and son with him, according to The Sun.

One insider told the publication: 'No one on set could believe it when Kylie and Joshua got together because it was widely known that he was married.

'He talked about his wife and child all the time and he wore his wedding ring on the set.

'The ring only disappeared when his and Kylie’s relationship became serious enough for the pair of them to appear together in public.'

It comes as Marta Milans, the Spanish actress who has become embroiled in the split, has been pictured hanging out with her A-list pal Chris Hemsworth and his family.

The brunette beauty looked relaxed as she had lunch with the Thor actor, his wife Elsa and their three children Tristan, India and Sasha in Malibu, California.

She didn't appear to be affected by the rumours surrounding her relationship with Sasse, which have come to light following his shock separation from Aussie pop star Kylie.

Sasse is said to have bonded with Miss Milans while filming TV series No Tomorrow in Canada last year.

A source who worked on the show told 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.

Bemusec: Marta's family said on Friday they had 'no idea' about her supposed close friendship with Kylie’s ex Joshua

Marta's family said on Friday they knew nothing about her supposed close friendship with Kylie’s ex Joshua.

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.'

Taking to Instagram on Friday, Kylie posted a picture of a beautiful sunrise with the words: 'Thank you 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.'

Kylie reportedly had a number of furious arguments with Joshua before travelling to France for Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week last month, The Sun claimed.

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

A source said: 'She is absolutely devastated, totally heartbroken. She really believed he was The One. But she no longer trusts him.' 

And, sources close to Kylie came forward to reveal their long standing 'suspicions' of actor Joshua.

Expressing their concerns over his intentions towards Kylie, they reportedly had long branded him a 'non-trusty opportunist'.

Speaking to The Sun, the source claimed: 'Since they met, we've all been concerned about what Joshua's intentions were.

And revealing his apparent insistence to accompany her to big awards ceremonies including the Brits, they explained: 'None of Kylie's previous partners have ever shown such a keen interest in sharing her spotlight and people saw through it.'

With Kylie reportedly so besotted that she welcomed him into her £10 million West London home, paid for opulent holidays and even supposedly treated him to hair implants, the source branded him a 'non-trusty opportunist only out for himself'.

News of Minogue's shock split comes just after a pre-recorded interview was shown on ITV's This Morning on Tuesday during which Kylie talked about her wedding plans.

She joked that they would differ from those of her former neighbours character Charlene who she tied the knot with Scott (Jason Donovan).

She said: 'I'm taking no inspiration from Charlene's wedding dress. It was of the time. We laugh about it now.

'But I have to say, the gyp flowers she wore in her hair. I don't mind those if they are done properly.'

Taking things slow: Later in their engagement, Kylie said there was 'no rush' to tie the knot

And in a recent interview with YOU magazine, she revealed plans to take Joshua's surname once they tied the knot.

She said: 'Sasse is a great name. Kylie Sasse is a great name. It's a great stage name. Kylie Minogue has never exactly tripped off the tongue.

'I'll definitely be taking Sasse but there will be Minogue in there somewhere. Taking a different name makes a statement...

'Nobody wants to be Mr Minogue. It takes a very strong man to put themselves in that position and I fully appreciate that.' 

The singer insisted there was 'no rush' to tie the knot as she gushed about her stunning engagement ring, which she said is 'exactly the right ring' for her.

She explained: '[There's] no rush. I'm happy enjoying being engaged, it's a lovely time we have together. There's no pressure. My mum isn't buying a hat. Everyone is very happy for us as we are. My parents love him. Everybody in my family thinks he's wonderful ...'

'It's a great sadness for her': Kylie's hopes of starting a family of her own have been possibly dealt another blow. Her sister Dannii (pictured with the star in 2015) previously said, 'It's a great sadness for her... and it's made me really understand how blessed I was to be a mother'
