Australian pop singer Dannii Minogue is finally engaged to her British boyfriend Kris Smith. Minogue agreed to marry Smith over the phone, as she is currently at work for The X Factor in the United Kingdom.

The engagement came after Smith, 32 realized that he missed Dannii, 39 and their son Ethan Edward Smith. Kris mainly works and resides in Australia, while Dannii, who took their son to London, shuttles back and forth between Australia and the UK.

"They had an emotional phone call and Kris told her he really wants Dannii to be his wife and Dannii burst into tears of joy."

According to reports, Dannii and Kris plans to have their wedding celebrated in Melbourne, Minogue's home city, where their $1.64 million house is also located.

Kris and Dannii began dating in 2008. Earlier this January, it was announced that Dannii and Kris was expecting. The pop singer gave birth to their son Ethan Edward later in July.
