Trouble: Dannii Minogue and boyfriend Kris Smith are said to be struggling with their relationship and spending so much time apart
Former X Factor judge Dannii Minogue is reportedly fighting to save her relationship with model boyfriend Kris Smith.
A source close to the couple said they have had a series of rows over their heavy workloads and are battling to juggle family life with their busy careers and travelling between the UK and Australia.
Dannii hinted about the strains in a few heartfelt messages on Twitter.
Happy family: Dannii and Kris with Ethan a few days after he was born in Melbourne
She tweeted: 'Never chase love. If it isn't given freely by another person, it's not worth having.'
In another message she wrote: 'Forgiving someone does not mean forgetting what they did. It simply means letting go of the hurt.'
Kris, a former rugby player, also hinted on Twitter that the the couple were going through a rough patch when he said: 'You don't know what you've got til it's gone.'
The tweets were later deleted and the couple are now talking about what to do for their son Ethan's first birthday in July, according to the News of the World.
Busy: Dannii is currently filming in Australia but will soon be returning to the UK to launch her new clothing range
'Kris is not happy about Dannii's heavy work-load, and wants her to spend more time with him and baby Ethan, and has put his foot down,' a source told the tabloid.
'Dannii is not happy about having to choose between work and family, and they have been arguing about this recently,' said the friend.
The couple, who first met in Ibiza three years ago, have both expressed their joy at becoming parents for the first time.
But their heavy workloads mean they are often apart with one in the UK and the other in Australia.
Departure: Dannii with Louis Walsh when she was a judge on the X Factor. She will not be in this year's show because of her work commitments in Australia
'I will be back in the UK very soon for the release of the next 'Project D' collection, 'My Style' fashion book launch and some other secret projects,' she said.
So far Dannii's departure means that Louise Walsh will be the only returning judge on this year's panel. He will be joined by Take That singer Gary Barlow.
Other judges for the show are still being confirmed but N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos, 22, is a hot favourite and show bosses are desperate to get Cheryl Cole back after she was sacked from the US version of the show.
Dannii, 39, has always spoken about returning to Australia and it is believed that she and Kris will now try and permanently base themselves there.
