Kylie Minogue cant give up loving her pet

Wednesday, February 21, 2007

Kylie Minogue may have dumped Olivier Martinez, but she is still in love with his dog. The 'Spinning Around' singer, who ended her four-year relationship with the 41-year-old French actor earlier this month, can't give up her ex-lover's pet pooch Sheba. During a recent trip to Paris for a cancer check-up at the Institute Gustave Roussy Kylie stayed at Olivier's apartment and took Sheba out for a walk. Scissor Sisters singer Jake Shears, who is good friends with Kylie, told Britain's Grazia magazine: "Kylie loves that dog. I'm sure she'll still see her whenever she likes." The diminutive pop star previously revealed that Sheba took a while to warm to her when she started dating Olivier.

Kylie, 38, said: "At first, Sheba was a little resistant of the idea of there being another female in Olivier's life. But it was a territorial thing. She was very important during my treatment. There were many long hugs on the sofa." Since the split, Kylie has rubbished rumours Olivier - who has been romantically linked to Michelle Rodriguez and Israeli model Sarai Givati - cheated on her during their relationship. She said: "None of the rumours about Olivier cheating are true. I don't believe any of it. "Olivier and I still care a lot about each other and there's still a lot of love there between us. I still speak to Olivier and you never know what will happen in the future."
