"She did not like me”: Dannii Minogue's tense relationship with mother-in-law

<p>Dannii Minogue was once married to actor Julian McMahon, which seems like a lifetime ago for the star. They met when they were both starring on <em>Home and Away,</em><span> </span>but Minogue has shed some light on what their marriage was like behind the scenes, especially her relationship with her mother-in-law, Lady Sonia McMahon.</p> <p>Minogue appeared on <em>Anh’s Brush with Fame</em> and was surprisingly candid about her past.</p> <p>"His family did not like me. There's a certain social pecking order and I was definitely not in that scene. She [Sonia] only spoke to me a couple of times," Minogue explained to Anh.</p> <p>Things eventually escalated to where Minogue was banned from the house.</p> <p>"She would not let me go to the family house. Sometimes [Julian] had to go and collect something and I was waiting in the car out the front. It was as if I'd done something wrong to the family, but I hadn't done anything wrong," she admitted.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7827297/dannii-2.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/28e60f1d181641b481c3a0861abfa222" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Lady Sonia McMahon and son Julian McMahon</em></p> <p>Minogue also revealed that Sonia caused trouble at the wedding.</p> <p>"On the actual day of the wedding there was drama. [Sonia] said she wasn't going to show up, so that's quite stressful. Julian and I were going ahead with the marriage regardless.</p> <p>"So she did end up coming and was causing a scene … it wasn't the greatest … it was hard. I just tried to stay away from it, I just wanted to enjoy the day."</p> <p>The marriage lasted for 18 months, with the pair divorcing in 1996.</p> <p>The pair have both since moved on, as Julian is onto his third marriage after tying the knot with Kelly Paniagua in 2014, and Minogue shares 8-year-old son Ethan with her ex Kris Smith, and is in a relationship with music producer, Adrian Newman. </p>
