Washington, Sept 10 : Aussie singer songwriter Dannii Minogue, 36, has confirmed that she is dating British rugby player Kris Smith.

Minogue had been seeing the 30-year-old rugby league player secretly after meeting him in Ibiza

"Rumours are flying about my new-found interest in the Rugby League, and the papers say I'm dating an ex-Leeds player," Contactmusic quoted her as telling Britain's Closer magazine.

"Hmm, what can I tell you? Well, I currently don't know anything about the game but there's a good reason to start learning!

"Let's put it this way, Cupid had asked for his arrow back! I'm not one to reveal much about my love life but I'm a happy girl," she added.

Minogue, who is on the panel of British reality show The X Factor, had previously been married to Nip/Tuck star Julian McMahon and was once engaged to racing driver Jacques Villeneuve.
