Kylie's 'lover' attends her London concert

Kylie Minogue has sparked new rumours that she is dating film director Alexander Dahm after she invited him to one of her concerts.

Dahm, who was first linked to the Aussie pop star last year, accepted Minogue's offer and flew 6,000 miles to watch her perform at London's O2 Arena.

A source told the Sunday Mirror: "Alex was standing about a metre away from Kylie. He even got out his video camera to record the show. It was clear that whatever relationship they have, it's stronger now than ever before."

Rumours of a romance between the pair first hit the press in May 2007 after they holidayed together in Dahm's home country of Chile. Minogue insisted that they were just friends, but the reports led to the break-up of the director's marriage.

A friend of Minogue has played down talk of a secret relationship, insisting: "Because Kylie and Alex are such good friends, she spoke to him loads about the tour during the planning stages. So it was only right she invited him over to see the finished product."
