Kylie Minogue's boyfriend has had her name tattooed on his hip.

Underwear model Andres Velencoso - who has been dating the 40-year-old singer since last year - decided to have her moniker etched onto his body to prove his commitment.

A source said: "Andres knows how insecure the 10-year age gap makes her feel. And this gesture has really boosted her happiness."

Andres - who already has the name of his late mother etched on his chest - is not the first star to have a tattoo in tribute to their significant other.
