Kylie Minogue has announced she's engaged to Joshua Sasse.

After weeks of rumour, the couple made things official, by placing a notice in the Daily Telegraph, external.

The 47-year-old has been going out with the 28-year-old British actor for just six months. It's thought he may have popped the question at Christmas.

Just a few days ago at the NME Awards, Kylie was seen sporting a huge diamond ring.

The two met last year, when Joshua was starring in the musical comedy Gallavant.

And should there be any raised eyebrows about the 19 year age gap, this is what Kylie told an Australian radio station: "I think the general consensus is, we kind of look right together.

"So even though on paper it might not look right, it just is right. He is an absolutely brilliant, brilliant guy.

"And even if I try and act cool and natural, it's written all over my face that I am very happy."

Last year, Kylie also spoke about their relationship on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.

She said: "I have a love in my life and that's a beautiful thing. I'm on cloud nine most of the time."

Kylie then suggested she'd like to start a family too.
