Kylie Minogue has revealed she's happier than ever, as her romance with Spanish model Andres Velencoso gets stronger.

The Australian singer, who has a notoriously rigorous work ethic, said she was now finally finding the time to enjoy her life.

“It’s definitely true that I’m happier than ever before,” she told Hello magazine.

“I feel relaxed, happy, excited and just totally content with my life. I’m having a good time. I really am.”

“All my life I’ve worked very hard and I’ve always talked about trying to find a balance.”

Following the conclusion of her world tour last year, the singer said she has been enjoying her new hobby, golf, and travelling with family and friends.

But it is her relationship with Andres which is said to have really boosted Kylie, who successfully beat breast cancer in 2005.

The couple, who met in October, have been spotted looking at houses together on the Costa Brava and Barcelona.

“This is a very different relationship for Kylie. She feels loved, adored and wanted,” a friend told the magazine.
