Earlier this year, Kylie Minogue and her partner, Joshua Sasse, announced that they planned to tie the knot, but it looks like the brakes have now been put on that decision.

According to emerging reports, the couple have decided to postpone the milestone moment until Kylie's native Australia legalises same-sex marriage – a matter which will be going to public vote in February of next year.

Joshua, who had planned to wed Kylie in Melbourne, insists the notion of allowing one couple to marry over another is completely alien to him, saying: “When I found out that gay marriage was illegal in Australia, I was astounded."

"I simply can’t fathom on any level, whether it’s moral or religious or anything, that I have the right to get married and to marry the person that I love and that somebody else doesn’t because of their sexual orientation."

Like Joshua, Kylie has no intention of making her way down the aisle until every one of her fellow citizens is afforded the same right. having previously said the world 'hasn't caved in' since particular countries have legalised same-sex marriage.

In a bid to promote marriage equality in Australia, the couple, who announced their partnership in 2015, have launched the Say I Do Down Under campaign.
