Minogue: No plans to marry - yet

Kylie Minogue has no plans to marry long-term boyfriend Olivier Martinez - yet.

The singer was helped through her life-threatening breast cancer battle by the French actor and admits the experience has brought them closer together.

Despite constant rumours claiming the pair are engaged, Kylie insists they are not betrothed to one another.

She said in an interview with BBC America: "Are there any rings on these fingers? We haven't gone down that road."

The 38-year-old pop superstar also revealed she still wants to start a family, despite the reduced chances of her conceiving because of the chemotherapy treatment she underwent to fight her cancer.

When quizzed on whether she and Olivier want to have children, she said: "Yeah, I would love them. We have to wait and see."

Kylie also insists she didn't mind having to shave all her hair off when it started to drop out because of the chemotherapy.

During her gruelling battle, Kylie was pictured wearing headscarves to cover up her shaved head but admits she could handle the drastic look because she would have done anything to beat the disease.

She explained: "First I had it cut a little longer than it is at the moment and then I had a buzz-cut. If I could have done a one-armed push-up I would have. That really wasn't such an issue for me. I don't know if it's because I'm used to different looks, but when it starts to grow back it's so thrilling."
