‘Committed’ Dannii Minogue and Kris Smith rubbish split rumours

Celebrity couple Dannii Minogue and her model partner and former British rugby star Kris Smith have rubbished the reports of their split and reassured their fans of their commitment for each other in a joint statement.

Minogue and Smith, who have been living together in their Melbourne home with 10-month-old son Ethan, issued a brief statement following unsourced reports, which claimed that Minogue's heavy workload had put pressure on their relationship.

“Thanks for your concern. We're happy to be back at home in Melbourne together as a family,” the Age quoted the couple as saying in the statement.

“We are committed to our relationship and Ethan as always,” the couple added.
