One of Dannii’s most notable relationships was with Australian actor Julian McMahon, whom she met in 1990 while working on the soap opera Home And Away.
Dannii and Julian, son of former Australian Prime Minister William McMahon, were married for two years before divorcing in 1995.
Dannii endured a difficult relationship with Julián’s mother, Sonia, who disliked the singer and threatened not to attend the couple’s wedding.
The hitmaker previously said: “There was no relationship, she wouldn’t talk to me, I wasn’t allowed near her in the house, she said she wouldn’t come to the wedding.” We just had no idea how to handle it; we were just trying.’
In 1999, Dannii became engaged to 1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve, son of Ferrari Formula 1 driver GIles Villeneuve. However, it was not to be, as the couple separated two years later.
Three years later, Dannii began her next serious romance by dating Scottish music producer and bassist for the band Bros, Craig Logan.
In March 2002 it was reported that the couple was engaged, but by December of that year they had separated.

Dannii and Kris split two years later, and the star confirmed the breakup on Twitter. She wrote: ‘I am very sad to tell you that Kris and I have separated. “We still care about each other and ask for privacy at this difficult time, particularly for our son Ethan, who remains our number one priority.”

‘It’s not a secret!’ She answered. ‘You ask me this every time, we’ve been dating for nine years!
‘Every time someone posts a photo of him, they say ‘secret man’, ‘never seen’… He’s just not interested in anything that has to do with the public eye.’
The singer told Who magazine in 2018 that she was “extremely happy” in her love life and doesn’t feel the need to share details about it.
