Dannii Minogue gives birth

Dannii Minogue, 38, has given birth to a baby boy in a Melbourne hospital on Monday (July 5). It's her first child with partner Kris Smith, 31.

The singer has revealed that the baby's name is Ethan Edward Smith.

"Mother and baby are doing well and Dad is very proud. They request their privacy at this special time to adjust as new parents," a spokesman for Minogue has confirmed.

It's believed sister Kylie will fly over to Australia later this month to meet the new arrival.

Minogue is currently absent from the live auditions of 'The X Factor' but will return later this year for the final group rounds.
