In a 2014 interview with Current Affair, Kylie added of their encounter: “He did ask to kiss me numerous times and I did say no numerous times.”
Michael and Kylie dated shortly after she ended things with her Neighbours co-star Jason Donovan, who she was with from 1986 to 1989. She and Michael were together for three years until 1991, and Kylie has said in previous interviews that this relationship was formative for her young adult years.
“To have someone like that open your eyes to many, many things in a rock and roll way, in a poetic way, in a lovable, humorous, amazing way, obviously it was a great time,” she said. “Even when it was slightly on the wild side, he was always very tender with me. I was a precious little thing to him, so amongst the headiness, it was always very sweet.”
In the 2019 documentary, Mystify: Michael Hutchence, Kylie described Michael as “a dark bad boy” and herself as “the pure good girl.”

In the same documentary, Kylie opened up about their split, admitting she can’t remember why they ended things: “Was it work, was it the drugs? I don’t know. He was like a broken man,” she said.
“He was on all fours on the floor crying. I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t know what was happening. I just know he was a broken man. I’d never seen any man like that before. I left pretty confounded and destroyed and knew that was it. He broke my heart. I have to confess that the hurt stayed for quite a long time.”
Michael went on to date model Helena Christensen, and later presenter Paul Yates, with whom he shared a daughter, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence, who was born in 1996. He died by suicide a year later in 1997. Kylie attended his funeral which took place in Sydney.
