Kylie engagement reports denied

Kylie Minogue's spokesman has denied reports that she and her French boyfriend of two years, actor Olivier Martinez, are to marry. Minogue is recovering from surgery for breast cancer last week, which doctors said was successful. Her illness has prompted a huge response from fans. Newspaper reports suggested the couple had got engaged after her operation to remove a cancerous lump. Martinez starred in Unfaithful with Diane Lane and Richard Gere in 2002. Minogue is recovering in her home country of Australia and was said to be in "high spirits". The 36-year-old singer, who had to cancel the Australian leg of her "Showgirl" world tour to undergo urgent treatment, is said to be surrounded by her closest family as well as Martinez.
