'She just wants to move on': Kylie Minogue 'will return her engagement ring to ex-fiancé Joshua Sasse... as it emerges he was 'MARRIED' when they started dating'
Kylie Minogue reportedly wants to return her engagement ring to ex-fiancé Joshua Sasse, after announcing their split earlier this week.
The Australian pop princess 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.
'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.

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

Days before Kylie Minogue announced that her romance to Joshua Sasse had ended, the singer was pictured with the actor on what was likely their final outing together.
The pop superstar was spotted leaving her London home with the actor - with both barely breaking a smile as they entered a waiting luxury Mercedes.
Keen to go incognito, the star - who appeared to be makeup-free - was seen wearing a pair of hats atop her head, which she teamed with a white fleece jacket.
Sporting his signature thick beard, Joshua covered his mane with a taupe knitted beanie hat, while he wore a navy windbreaker over a white shirt.
As a male friend stood nearby, the pair looked a far cry from the jovial lovebirds who had inspired fans with their seemingly perfect romance.
On Friday morning, Kylie took to social media as she thanked her loyal fans for their messages of concern and support.

Over: Kylie Minogue has split from her fiancé Joshua Sasse amid allegations his growing closeness to Spanish actress Marta Milans could be to blame
The Australian singer was said to have thrown Joshua out of her West London home after he grew too close to Spanish actress Marta Milans, 34, but Kylie is yet to reveal the reason for the split.
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'.
Following Kylie's post, her fans rushed to send messages of support, including her famous friends.
Natalie Imbruglia, Paris Hilton and gossip blogger Perez Hilton were among the stars to send their well-wishes to the pop princess, posting heart emojis.
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.
Miss Minogue has since taken off her engagement ring and is 'heartbroken', according to the newspaper.
A source said: 'She is absolutely devastated, totally heartbroken. She really believed he was The One. But she no longer trusts him.'
Last night a spokesman for the singer declined to comment. MailOnline has contacted representatives for both Joshua and Marta and is awaiting comment.

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.
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'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.'
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.

Brains and beauty: Marta, 34, was born and raised in Madrid and is reportedly fluent in seven languages, including Russian
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.
As well as huge upheavals at home, there are also big changes afoot in her professional life, as she announced on Thursday that she's signed a new deal with BMG record label - home to such stars as Bruno Mars, M.I.A. and Frank Ocean.
She told fans in her Instagram announcement: '#lovers ... So happy to announce my new record label is BMG. I promise you will have my heart and soul in this next record.'

Representatives at BMG later took to Twitter to write: 'Hello @kylieminogue!! We can't get you out of our heads! Let's hear it for new music from this!'
And fans can expect some of her recent heartbreak to make it onto her upcoming album, as she told the Evening Standard in December that she didn't plan to shy away from tracks that aren't as typically upbeat as her past material.
She said: 'What's worked well for me in the past is pop dance, obviously, melodies, emotional themes. I think most people think of my songs as joyful. But it doesn't have to be just about joy - it can be sparkling melancholy.
'I don't think I've ever used those words together before, I'm going to use it! And a slice of the unexpected, which we did with something like (2003 track) Slow.'
News of the 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).

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

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 ...

'Josh told me [the ring] was made in 1908. For me, it is perfect. I'm not the sort of girl who would wear a solitaire. He got exactly the right ring for me. I love it. I love wearing it and I love what it represents.'
The couple met in 2015, on the set of US TV show Galavant and, months later in February 2016, they publicly announced their engagement.
Family is important to Joshua, who became a dad at the age of 25 when his then girlfriend Francesca Cini gave birth to Sebastian, now two.
Despite splitting from the Italian-born brunette shortly after the birth, Josh is still a hands-on dad.
His passion for fatherhood stems in part from the fact that he was only five when his own father died.

Poet and adventurer Dominic Sasse was on a flight to Nepal which crashed into a hill killing all 167 passengers on board.
Josh has a tattoo of the number 37 — his dad's age when he died — as a reminder 'to live life every day because it might end at any moment'.
His mum Mary later remarried and sent Josh to board at the £10,000-a-year Shrewsbury School, where he picked up a love for acting.
After studying performing arts at college in Surrey and Exeter, he landed a role in the 2010 gangster film Big I Am. Since then he has starred in Mamma Mia! in the West End and horror film Frankenstein's Army, but is best known for his role in the musical comedy Galavant, where he met Kylie.
Meanwhile, Kylie's hopes of starting a family of her own have been possibly dealt another blow.

She previously 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.'
After going public with Joshua in 2015, Kylie said at the time it would be 'incredible' if the couple started a family of their own.
And speaking just weeks before her sister's alleged split, Dannii was still optimistic that her sibling would become a mother one day.
'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,' Dannii told The Sunday Telegraph.
According to Dannii, her sister always showed maternal instincts while she was the one who 'never' wanted children. But she admits her son Ethan is the 'sunshine' in her life today.'

Why is Kylie so Un-Lucky in love? A look back at Minogue's ill-fated relationships including her failed 'engagement' to Olivier Martinez as she 'splits from fiancé Joshua Sasse'
By GREG STYLES FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA
Kylie Minogue believed she'd finally found 'The One' in Joshua Sasse.
But after the 48-year-old reportedly called off their engagement on Friday amid claims she 'became suspicious of her fiancé's relationship with a Spanish actress', the British thespian became the latest in Kylie's long list of failed relationships.
The singer has been left heartbroken on several occasions since bursting into the public spotlight - including high-profile romances with Jason Donovan, Michael Hutchence, Oliver Martinez, Lenny Kravitz and Andres Velencoso all ending in tears.
And as she possibly prepares for life without her 29-year-old toyboy fiancé, it would appear Kylie hasn't always been so 'lucky in love'.

JOSHUA SASSE - 2014-2017
In November 2014, Kylie revealed she was in a relationship with Joshua Sasse, who is 19 years her junior.
Joshua had reportedly confirmed their engagement after referring to Kylie as his 'fiancée' during an NME Awards after party.
The couple reportedly announced the news at the event, with a source saying: 'Kylie may have been keeping tight-lipped, but Josh isn't as keen to keep it a secret.'
They continued: 'He was proudly calling her his fiancée to several guests and even joked that being with her meant he wouldn't have any trouble getting into parties.'
Kylie was reportedly busy presenting an award during the show as Joshua made the candid remarks.
Kylie had showed off a diamond ring on her wedding finger earlier in the year, and Joshua is believed to have proposed in Switzerland during a skiing holiday.

The Melbourne-born singer previously said: 'I have a love of my life which is just a beautiful thing. I am kind of on cloud nine most of the time because of Mr Joshua Sasse, my beau.'
And speaking to The Mail on Sunday's You magazine in 2014, Kylie insisted that despite their significant age gap, she and Joshua were the perfect match.
'I can't actually put into words how happy I am… We just completely fit together. He gets me, I get him,' she said.
ANDRÉS VELENCOSO - 2008-2013
The singer's most recent relationship before Joshua was with model Andrés Velencoso.
The songstress began dating Andrés after they met while filming an advert for her perfume range in 2008.
In 2013, Kylie ended their five-year relationship and cited the pressures of their conflicting work schedules as the reason for the split.
Her representative confirmed the break-up to The Sun On Sunday, insisting at the time they were still on good terms.

Friends later said her increased workload had led to them spending less time together over months leading up to the split.
'Kylie and Andrés haven't been spending much time together because she's been holed up in the studio in LA working on her new album,' said a source. 'He's also been trying to carve out an acting career for himself.
'When she signed up for The Voice they knew they couldn't cope with the long distance pressures the job would put on them.'
The news came only 12-months after Kylie said of her then-boyfriend: 'He's the one. Sound the alarm, four years. I think I'm pretty settled'.
OLIVIER MARTINEZ - 2002-2007
Kylie dated French actor Olivier Martinez for five years before the couple called it quits in February 2007.
A joint statement released on behalf of the pair at the time read: 'Olivier Martinez and Kylie Minogue have officially confirmed that they are no longer a couple.
'They have made it clear that the decision to go their separate ways was mutual and amicable.
'The media's false accusations of disloyalty have saddened them both. The two remain very close friends.'
The separation came at the end of a tumultuous time for Kylie after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

The singer was forced to abandon her Showgirl world tour in May 2005, and did not resume it until November 2006.
The singer spoke of how her 'incredible' boyfriend of four years had helped her through the battle.
'On particular dark days, I'd be lying on the bathroom floor wailing and he'd say, 'OK, honey, you can cry for just five minutes, then I'm taking you on the bike for a ride around Paris'' she told Elle magazine in 2006.

'So I'd howl a bit more and then I'd find myself thinking, 'Hmm. Actually, a ride on the bike sounds pretty good'.'
'Olli was there all the time, helping with the practical stuff and being protective.'
At the time she denied reports the couple were planning to marry.
'I understand the excitement at the prospect of a wedding, but we're simply happy together and getting on with life,' she said.
JAMES GOODING - 1999-2002
Kylie dated model James Gooding for three years but he later boasted of flying out to New York and cheating on her with model Sophie Dahl.
Kylie was said to be 'furious' when he did a tell-all interview about her.

MICHAEL HUTCHENCE - 1989-1991
Kylie dated INXS rocker Michael Hutchence between 1989 and 1991 and the pair remained friends until his tragic death in 1997.
In December 2013, the singer was overcome with emotion as she discussed the late Australian singer during a radio interview.
Kylie fought back tears during her appearance on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs as she opened up about her ex-boyfriend, picking the INXS hit Need You Tonight as one of her favourite songs and admitting: 'It's getting me very emotional'.
She continued: 'I met a new person and I fell in love. Yes, he was this wild guy, he was the rocker, he was all of that.
'But I'm always at pains to say he was Byron-esque, he was poetic, he was cultured and hilarious and tender, he was all of these other things.'
She continued: 'I guess, I was at the perfect age, I was 21 years old, to get the butterfly wings and go out into the world and we collided at that time and I guess he just fast-tracked some of it. Anyway, it was a glorious time. I loved it.'
Kylie credited Michael, who died aged 37, with rebuilding her confidence as she learned how to perform live in front of audiences.
![Keeping close: Following their split, the former couple remained close friends before Michael committed suicide at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Sydney, Australia, in 1997](http://web.archive.org./web/20170207125541/http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/02/19/04/315C268B00000578-3454016-image-a-9_1455857017362.jpg)
'Professionally, he was so supportive': Following their split, the former couple remained friends before Michael tragically died aged 37 at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Sydney in 1997
She explained: 'Professionally, he was so supportive. Someone called me the singing budgie in Australia as a knock.
'So I did this warm-up gig and we said, 'It's the singing budgie, take that, own it and go out'.'
'We did this little gig and I was so inexperienced at doing live performance. I feel my career is backwards. I started successful then I had to learn everything in front of everyone,' Kylie recalled.
She continued: 'I mean he was uber, uber famous. He's an icon already. And he was in the middle of the audience, just gazing up at me, and just willing me, willing me with all of his heart and his love to do well, and he believed in me.
'And it was at a time when so many people didn't.'

JASON DONOVAN - 1986-1989
Kylie and Jason Donovan met and fell in love while playing Scott and Charlene in TV soap Neighbours. Their characters' on-screen wedding was an international event when it was broadcast in 1987.
Jason later revealed they consummated their romance in a Travelodge and admitted he was 'devastated' when she moved on with Michael Hutchence.
He previously told The Mirror: 'It was an extremely painful parting of the ways and, without doubt, I took a long time to recover from it.
'It was bad enough that she'd run off with anybody, but she happened to run into the arms of the greatest rock god of the period, the very guy who I secretly wanted to be.'
He added that he and Kylie have never spoken about their heartbreaking split, claiming they simply 'aren't close enough to get into that'.
