Dannii Minogue reveals sister Kylie 'always wanted kids' more than her as she reflects on the singer giving up hope on having a family

Becoming a mother in 2010 'changed everything' for Dannii Minogue.

Yet, the Let It Shine judge has admitted it was her older sister and music icon Kylie, who 'always wanted kids and not her' in a candid interview with The Sunday Telegraph Magazine.

The 45-year-old Australian beauty - who has been by her sibling's side at every twist and turn life has thrown at them - admitted it's 'a great sadness' that Kylie, 48, has given up hope for a family of her own, following her 2005 breast cancer battle.

Discussing life before her adorable son Ethan, the former X Factor judge revealed that her sister had natural maternal instincts which she was envious of.

Now a mother, Dannii explained that she loves to see her closest confidant with her darling boy.

She said: 'Growing up it was Kylie who always wanted kids and I never did, When my brother Brendan had his little boy (Charles, now 10) I hadn't a clue how to hold him. I remember being really impressed by Kylie because she just instinctively knew what to do.

'When he was a bit older, she'd be the one rolling on the floor with him, making him laugh his head off and I'd be thinking: "What do I do?" When I got pregnant I was completely shocked. But having a baby everything. Kylie has been incredible with Ethan. She just loves him - I love to see them together.'

Kylie has been decidedly honest in her omissions about her desires and difficulty to start a family of her own.

Most recently, the Spinning Around hitmaker admitted to The Sunday Times Magazine she has been forced to consider her 'options' when it comes to having children one day after she was diagnosed in 2005 with breast cancer, aged 37.
