(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Dannii Minogues relationship with Kris Smith is a counter-balance.

The Australian pop star and fashion designer has been dating British former-rugby-player-turned-model Kris since August 2008, and the pair welcomed son Ethan in July last year.

The pair are blissfully happy, and Kris has credited their relationship success to the fact that they complement each others personalities. He knows that he is far more relaxed than 39-year-old Dannii, and thinks together they make the perfect balance, although he would like his partner to relax more often.

Its a counter-balance. I like to chill out and enjoy life. When she stops working for a bit, I would love to take the family away somewhere, kick back and do nothing, he beamed.

Dannii is regarded as one of the hardest working ladies in showbiz, with work commitments including running her own Project D fashion line with pal Tabitha Somerset Webb. She has also made a name for herself as a judge on shows including Australia's Got Talent and UK show The X-Factor. Kris admits he is staggered by Danniis hectic work schedule.

She works non-stop. Its mind-blowing to me. Im extremely proud of her. I wish shed sit back and relax at some point, before stress levels do their worst, the 32-year-old hunk told the British edition of OK! magazine. (C) Cover Media
