Kylie Minogue reveals how she and her boyfriend Paul Solomons will spend Christmas

Kylie Minogue revealed that she is looking forward to a “cozy” Christmas with her boyfriend Paul Solomons.

The 52-year-old pop superstar has been dating the creative director of British GQ magazine since 2018.

Speaking on Jessie Ware's “Table Manners” podcast, Minogue said the couple would spend Christmas Day together, but without friends and family due to the pandemic.

She said: “It will be Paul and I… we are really looking forward to a cozy, quiet and thankful Christmas.”

Minogue, who in November became the first female artist in five consecutive decades to have a number one album in the UK, said Christmas was usually a busy time for her as her parents and friends came to visit.

She added: “There are crackers on the table, so we all end up with paper hats on our heads. That's all the useful stuff you can find that nobody needs or wants.”

And the singer promised that the next 12 months will bring more new music – and hopefully live performances and a trip back to Australia to see her family.

She said: “The album cycle will continue, we'll have more singles next year. I don't have a tour planned. I hope to do some live performances next year. I have to get in the studio with Jessie (Ware). That's happening and I'm really looking forward to it.”

Minogue, whose last album was Disco, added: “If I can by then, I'll go back to Australia. Coming back and seeing my family is the number one priority for me.”

And Minogue also revealed her favorite Christmas song: she placed the Christmas classic “It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” at number one.

She said: “I've grown quite fond of 'It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year', not only because it's fantastic but also because I love how easy it rolls off the tongue when I do Kylie Christmas concerts at the Royal Albert Hall. I've done three concerts and each time we've started the show with that song, with orchestra, choir, loads of singers and a band.

“It was so great. It was this kind of announcement that the show was about to start, so I really have feelings about that announcement.”
