Dannii Minogue denies split from Kris Smith

Dannii Minogue has denied she is on a 'trial separation from longterm boyfriend Kris Smith.

The glamorous couple was reported to be taking a break in a bid to save their three-year relationship.

The former X Factor judge and her model boyfriend, who have an 11-month-old son, Ethan, together were said to have been living separate lives for the last seven weeks.

But now Dannii, who met Kris on holiday in Ibiza in 2008, has made a statement to squash the rumours.

"Thanks for your concern. We're happy to be back at home in Melbourne together as a family," she said. "We are committed to our relationship and Ethan as always."

Concern that all was not well in the Minogue-Smith household was sparked when the couple posted a series of poignant statuses on Twitter last week.

Dannii, who is currently busy filming Australia's Got Talent, sounded like she was making a dig at former rugby player Kris.

'Never chase love. If it isn't given freely by another person, it's not worth having,' she wrote. 'Forgiving someone does not mean forgetting what they did. It simply means letting go of the hurt.'

Kris, who was believed to be staying with his parents in the UK, responded with his own cryptic tweet.

'You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone,' he wrote.

The messages were deleted from both their accounts soon after.

It's been a turbulent few weeks for Dannii, who announced her departure from the UK version of The X Factor earlier this month.

The speculation about her relationship added further strain on the new mother, with sources claiming that she decided to leave the show to save her family unit with Kris.

'Like any couple, Dannii and Kris have their ups and downs. At the moment they're going through an extremely rocky patch and simply aren't sure whether, this time, they will get through it unscathed,' one source told British newspaper The Mirror.

'As well as the stresses of first-time motherhood, Dannii has been through the ringer professionally, with so many commitments and big decisions to make. One of the main factors in her shock X Factor departure was Dannii's determination to save her relationship. She won't give up on her family without a fight.
