Kylie Minogue is changing her name (and we don’t know how we feel about it)

Katie Mythen-Lynch

Just like icons such as Cher or Madonna before her, Kylie needs only one name to get by. Still, the news that she will soon leave Kylie Minogue in the past forever did not sit well with us this morning. 

According to the latest reports, the Aussie diva plans to take her husband’s surname once they tie the knot, meaning that after they walk up the aisle she’ll be known as… Kylie Sasse.

The Spinning Around star (48) revealed the news to YOU magazine:

‘Sasse is a great name. Kylie Sasse is a great name. It’s a great stage name. Kylie Minogue has never exactly tripped off the tongue.

‘I’ll definitely be taking Sasse but there will be Minogue in there somewhere. Taking a different name makes a statement…

‘Nobody wants to be Mr Minogue. It takes a very strong man to put themselves in that position and I fully appreciate that.

Sasse (29), who is dad to, Sebastian, his son with former partner, Italian socialite Francesca Cini, met Minogue while filming Joshua’s TV show Galavant, in which Kylie made a guest appearance.

The pair announced their engagement last year in the ‘Forthcoming Marriages’ section of the Daily Telegraph and while they are in no rush to get hitched, there are wedding bells on the horizon.

This should give us time to process this sweeping change. Right now we’re sure she’ll always and forever be our Ms. Minogue.
