Kylie Minogue has spoken out about her plans to take her husband’s name when she gets married, revealing it “makes a statement.”

In an interview with Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper, the pop icon, who is engaged to actor Joshua Sasse, confessed that she’s never been a huge fan of her famous moniker.

“Kylie Sasse is a great name,” she told the publication. “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,” she added.

“Nobody wants to be Mr Minogue. It takes a very strong man to put themselves in that position and I fully appreciate that. The world around you sees it differently and a lot of guys can’t deal with that.”

It was clear the singer couldn’t help but gush about the love she has for her beau, saying: “When I look into Josh’s eyes, he is all I see and that makes me very happy.”

The star also admitted that despite plans “to disappear for the whole of January,” she felt “no rush” to tie the knot.

“I’m happy enjoying being engaged, it’s a lovely time we have together. There’s no pressure.”

Kylie, 48, confirmed that she was engaged to the actor – who is almost 20 years her junior – in February last year.
