Martinez regrets dumping Kylie

Olivier Martinez has admitted that he regrets dumping Aussie pop princess Kylie Minogue.

According to a report in the Sunday Mirror, the French actor told a friend last week that none of the women he has dated since splitting from Kylie can compare to her.

He described Minogue as "beautiful, charming, hugely talented", and confessed that he felt jealous when he read reports about her alleged romance with film director Alexander Dahm.

The friend explained: "Ollie seems to be full of regret about what happened. At one stage they were planning children together."

Kylie has recently been visiting Paris so that she can spend time with Martinez's pet dog. Sources close to the star have insisted that she has no plans to reunite with Olivier.

The pair announced that they had split in February this year.
