Kylie Minogue's new Netflix documentary sees the Australian pop icon reflect on her profound two-year romance with late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence. The three-part docuseries, titled Kylie, features candid interviews with the 57-year-old singer as she opens up about their relationship from 1989 to 1991.
How Did Kylie and Michael Meet?
Kylie first met Hutchence backstage at an INXS concert when she was just 21 years old. Her then-boyfriend, Jason Donovan, who had bought the VIP tickets, noticed an instant chemistry between them. In his autobiography, Donovan wrote: "I'd noticed him staring at her when we met backstage."
What Was Their Relationship Like?
Kylie describes the relationship as life-changing, admitting she has not found love on the same level since. "We were good together," she recalled in the documentary. The Princess of Pop reveals she still feels Michael with her, even 30 years after his death in 1997. She credits him as the man who encouraged her to discover her true self.
Why Did They Split?
Their romance ended due to demanding schedules and touring commitments that made it increasingly difficult to spend time together. In a 2019 documentary, Kylie described their relationship as "doomed." She said: "He was the first in so many ways, and of those firsts was heartbreak - I was devastated."
Fans can watch the full documentary series, Kylie, on Netflix now. The series provides an intimate look into the singer's life and career, including her most significant relationships.
