Kylie Minogue makes a huge wedding announcement

Kylie Minogue has said that despite her huge success under her maiden name, she's planning to adopt her husband's name once they're married.

Minogue, 48, who is engaged to British actor Joshua Sasse, has expressed exactly why she has chosen to leave her iconic last name behind.

In an interview with Daily Mail, Minogue admitted, “I’ll definitely be taking Sasse but there will be Minogue in there somewhere,” she told the British newspaper’s insert, You Magazine.

She also suggested, “Taking a different name makes a statement.”

“Sasse is a great name,” she said. “Kylie Sasse is a great name. It’s a great stage name. Kylie Minogue has never exactly tripped off the tongue.”
