Dannii Minogue goes it alone la

Looking strained ... Dannii Minogue arriving at her mum's house

DANNII Minogue visited her mum Carol without Kris Smith today - shortly after denying their split.

The former X Factor judge took their 11-month-old son Ethan to see her mum Carol in Melbourne.
She looked worn out as she got out of her car in a thick black cardigan, grey scarf and sunglasses.
In contrast, rugby player Kris didn't seem to have a care in the world and beamed as he touched down in Perth, Western Australia.
The model is there for retailer Myer's spring summer fashion shoot.
Dannii yesterday again quashed rumours that their relationship with was on the rocks - by saying she wants another baby.

Just days after being forced to deny reports that they'd split, she has told how she is getting broody for another tot. Dannii, 39, said: "I'm very clucky. I was looking at pictures of Ethan last night and you just melt.
"I'm still adjusting to the workload of this baby, but it would be amazing to have another one day."
Kris, 32, meanwhile admitted their relationship wasn't perfect but said they are still happy together.
He said: "You show me a perfect relationship and I will show you a liar.
"Everything has its ups and downs and things do get magnified when you are in the public eye.
"This is something that has been just totally blown way out of proportion.
"Everything is fine. We are good. We are happy."
And her sister Kylie also backed up the pair - saying they are still very content together.
Speaking on Tuesday, the pop star, 43, said: "I spoke to Dannii and she said they are happy together and home now.
"I would like to think that all the attention they are getting is because people love to see them so much and love them as a family unit."
But she admitted that Dannii's work schedule made seeing Kris difficult.
Kylie said: "I saw her in the UK and her schedule is crazy, like mine. I know how hard it is to see my boyfriend but you just have to make time."
The pair sparked speculation that they were on the verge of a break up after posting some mysterious Tweets online.
Dannii wrote: "Never chase love. If it isn't given freely by another person, it's not worth having. Forgiving someone does not mean forgetting what they did. It simply means letting go of the hurt."
Kris replied: "You don't know what you have 'til it's gone."
The messages were later deleted.
