Heartfelt comments . . . Kylie Minogue.

Australian pop princess Kylie Minogue has spoken for the first time about her fears that she might have left it too late to have children.

The 35-year-old singer, who is in a relationship with French actor Olivier Martinez, told British television interviewer Michael Parkinson she was concerned about her age and having children.

In an extraordinarily candid interview she confessed: "A woman of my age can't help but think about such a thing. We'll see if and when it happens."

The pop star's plight is similar to many women who have delayed child-bearing in order to have a successful career.
