"I was a bit broken": Kylie Minogue on splitting with her fiancé Joshua Sasse last year.

It’s been arguably her most painful break up to date. And a year after splitting with her fiancé, Joshua Sasse, Kylie Minogue has finally spoken about the experience.

Sitting down with Karl Stefanovic on 60 Minutes on Sunday night, the 49-year-old admitted she lost herself after the break up in February last year.

“I really did lose myself. It wasn’t so much heartbroken, just a bit broken,” she admitted.

The pair split up amid rumours Joshua had been cheating with his No Tomorrow co-star, Marta Milans, 35, and while Minogue didn’t actually talk about the reason behind their split, she did admit she was better off alone.

"It's well documented, I am on my own, which is fantastic. I feel like I've got another chance," she said.

She also said the break up was not an easy one, and that it took her a long time to recover.

"I didn't feel very present. You've got your tail between your legs a little bit," she said.

And from the sounds of it, Minogue doesn't exactly look back on her 30-year-old ex fondly.

"I feel like I've shed a skin that I needed to," she told Stefanovic.

In true musician fashion, Minogue says she'll be venting her feelings on the break up through the power of song.

"I'd just been through a bit of a rotten time, and I thought, I just want to be truthful with myself," she added.

After everything she's endured - and with her 50th birthday coming up in May - Minogue says she's chalked it all up to another life experience.

"I'm thankful. I don't want to go through it again, but there are some lessons that take a little bit of time to learn," she said.

When Stefanovic asked her to promise she would stop dating "really, really good-looking d*ckheads", Kylie just laughed and said, "yes". Say no more.
