On the outs? Kylie Minogue and Spanish supermodel Andres Velencoso at a party in Paris near the start of their relationship in 2008Just a few days ago, Kylie Minogue spoke affectionately about the Spanish lover she thought could be 'the one'.
But a few days, it seems, is an awfully long time in showbusiness.
The Mail has learned that the pair's 18-month relationship has hit the rocks after a bust-up during which model Andres Velencoso Segura walked out.
Since then, Miss Minogue has attended a string of public engagements alone
'Inseperable': Kylie Minogue with Andres Velencoso earlier this year - the couple are said to have had a huge row which has put their relationship on the rocksMatters came to a head last week, when she is said to have accused Andres of failing to give her emotional support while she launches her new album.
As the row escalated, Andres, 32, said he wanted shot of Kylie, 42, for good. Friends now fear the worst for the relationship.
A source close to the popstar told the Mail: 'They had a massive row on Wednesday of last week, at the end of which he told her it was over.
'It seems to be the same old story as has plagued many of Kylie's relationships. She worries that she is not worthy of her lover's affection - especially, as has happened this time and in the past, if she is dating a hot young male model.'
The source added: 'She and Andres had been bickering for a few days. She got quite critical of him, complaining he was not supporting her enough.
Andres had enough. He told her it was over, that he did not need that kind of stress in his life.'
Stress: Miss Minogue has a new album which is released later this yearKylie spent her 42nd birthday in London on Friday without him, and he did not accompany her to the UK premiere of Sex and the City 2 the day before.
Over the weekend, she began promotional work in Europe for her album, Aphrodite.
Andres, who usually travels with her, was nowhere to be seen.
But the source said the pair had been in touch on the phone and Kylie was 'desperate to patch things up'.
Several days ago, launching her new album, Miss Minogue joked: 'He's much taller than me. Luckily that doesn't matter when we are lying down.'
Miss Minogue met Andres in late 2008 after her four-year relationship with French actor Olivier Martinez broke down. Before that she dated model James Gooding, who is seven years her junior.
Her publicist was not available for comment yesterday.
