Kylie Minogue and Olivier Martinez have split amid rumours he had been unfaithful.
Olivier, who has been linked to a series of other women throughout the couple's four-year relationship, was seen embracing actress Penelope Cruz just hours after the split was announced.
Olivier, 41, hugged and kissed Penelope, 32, at Los Angeles' Chateau Marmont Hotel on Saturday (03.02.07) - the same hotel where he fell in love with Kylie.
A close friend of Kylie's revealed to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Kylie is a very sensitive woman who loved him with all her heart but he looks like he doesn't have a care in the world.
"He clearly isn't worried about her feelings. He approached Penelope seconds after she had sat down to have lunch with her friends."
Kylie, 38, suspected the romance was over when Olivier failed to join her in Australia for the start of her 'Showgirl Homecoming' tour last November - instead choosing to play a polo match in India.
A friend added: "She said at the time, 'I know its over but I can't think about it until my tour has ended.'
"That was the moment of truth for her. It wasn't the rumours of other women, although that hurt her deeply. It was the realisation that Olivier just wasn't committed to their relationship. He wasn't prepared to join her for the most important concert of her life."
Kylie - who battled breast cancer in 2005 - and Olivier's relationship was constantly tested by rumours of infidelity.
Rumours he had romanced Israeli model Sarai Givati allegedly proved to be the final staw and the couple split just weeks after Olivier and Sarai, 24, were seen at a Hollywood hotel together.
Oliver and Sarai also are said to have enjoyed a Parisian break in November.
