Kylie has a tense heart-to-heart

Kylie Minogue has her hand firmly on boyfriend Olivier Martinez after he has been linked with a young model.

She cancelled a family celebration in Australia to jet to France for a heart-to-heart with 40-year-old actor Martinez.

And, as they strolled through Paris, she clung tightly to his arm.

Kylie, 38, endured a 22-hour flight, despite still recovering from breast cancer, to see Martinez after he was pictured with 24-year-old Israeli model Sarai Givati.

Kylie had intended to spend Christmas at home in Melbourne but left for Paris just 12 hours after completing the final concert of her Australian tour.

It has been widely reported that Martinez has been showing Miss Givati around Paris. She admitted that they had spent 'three wonderful days and nights together'.

Their very public outing was Kylie and Martinez's first since news of his liaison broke.

"She's primarily here to find out exactly what's been going on between Olivier and Sarai," said a close friend of Kylie's in Paris.

"It has been a very tough time for her and none of this gets any easier. There is a great deal of tension between her and Olivier.

"She was exhausted after the trip and has spent most of the time since recuperating in his flat."

Martinez has officially been finishing off a new film but showed no intention of travelling all the way to Australia for Christmas.

Kylie's friends say she is privately questioning her relationship with him for the first time since cancer struck in May 2005.

Yet she wore a jacket emblazoned with his picture in her final show before flying to Paris.
