LONDON - Pop princess Kylie Minogue has splashed out on a luxury villa near the Spanish home owned by the parents of her model boyfriend Andres Velencoso Segura.

The 450,000 pound (NZ$1.09m) villa is in the Costa Brava resort town of Tossa de Mar, where Segura's parents own a bar and restaurant.

Britain's Daily Star newspaper said the house purchase could indicate Minogue, 41, is ready to settle down with her 31-year-old lover.

"Buying in Tossa de Mar shows how serious Kylie is about him," a source close to the singer told the newspaper.

Minogue began house hunting in Spain in April.
