Kylie Minogue has revealed she plans to continue dating her boyfriend Paul Solomons despite moving back to Australia while he stays in London.
The singer, 53, has been dating Welshman Paul, a 46-year-old executive at British GQ magazine, since they were introduced by mutual friends in early 2018.
She told Sydney’s The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Thursday they won’t be moving to Melbourne together but will still continue their relationship.
When radio host Kyle Sandilands asked if she plans to ‘keep the boyfriend’ after moving to the UK, Kylie responded without hesitation: ‘Oh, yeah!’
She said their relationship has included periods of long-distance in the past because of her touring schedule, so her move to Australia won’t be all that different.

Kylie also revealed there has been times when Paul has ‘swooped in to the rescue’ when she’s been feeling low on the road, so she expects he’ll drop everything and fly to Australia whenever she needs him.
‘I think it’ll work like that,’ she said.
She even hinted Paul may follow her to Australia one day, adding: ‘Who knows? We’re making it up [as we go]. We don’t know what the future holds.’
The pop star went on to clarify her boyfriend ‘loves Australia’, after previously saying he wouldn’t like to live there on a permanent basis.
Kylie had told the Table Manners podcast in September last year: ‘Paul’s a Welshman, but he’s been in London for almost 20 years.
‘There’s just not going to be an Australian home.’

It comes after Kylie confirmed reports she was moving back to Australia after more than 30 years living in Britain.
The musician, known for her hits Spinning Around and Can’t Get You Out of My Head, was born in Melbourne and has lived in London since 1990.
When asked on Wednesday about rumours she was returning to her home country permanently, Kylie told BBC Radio 2: ‘It is true, I will be basing myself in Australia.
‘I can’t believe the reaction it’s had. I’ve had friends call me.’

‘I spent a lot of time with my family this year in Australia and it felt really good… I’ve been talking about that for a while,’ she added.
Kylie reassured Brits she ‘won’t be a stranger’ and will still visit regularly.
‘Of course I’ve lived here for 30 years. I’m always going to be back,’ she said.
While she didn’t confirm where exactly she plans to live, she will most likely settle in Melbourne – the city where she was born and where her family reside.

The Mirror first reported on Kylie’s move on Monday, with a source close to the star saying she made the decision after spending time in Melbourne earlier this year.
‘This is something she has been thinking about for a while,’ the insider said.
‘This year, when she was in Australia for an extended period due to travel restrictions, it gave her time to think about where she wants to be based.’
They added that Kylie eventually decided she ‘wants to see more of her family in the times when she isn’t travelling, and so she will use Australia as her base’.
Kylie has already taken steps to formalise her move, having changed the service address for her four main businesses to an address in Hawthorn, an inner suburb of Melbourne.
Business documents have also been recently updated so her residence as director is now listed as Australia, not England.

Kylie told friends she wanted to live closer to her family, including her parents Carol and Ron, siblings Brendan and Dannii and nephew Ethan.
Her boyfriend, magazine executive Paul Solomons, won’t be joining her in Australia, but they intend to continue a long-distance relationship, according to The Sun.
‘Right now, Kylie has made the decision to move back to Australia and while Paul doesn’t want to relocate, they are still very much together and in love,’ a source said.
‘Of course she will be back in the UK from time to time and he will visit Melbourne. They are going to make it work.’
