Watch out Keith Urban. The curse of being an Aussie reality TV judge has claimed another victim.
Dannii Minogue is the sixth talent quest star to split up with their partner, officially calling it quits with Kris Smith last week.
It seems TV talent quests may be great for reviving flagging careers, but they appear to wreak havoc with love lives.
Minogue's high-profile bust-up follows The X-Factor Australia's Ronan Keating's recent announcement that he and his wife, Yvonne, are getting divorced after 14 years and three children.
Their marriage weathered the strain of Keating's relationship with a dancer in 2010, but fractured irreparably after Keating's role on the The X-Factor kept them apart for long periods.
"Sadly our news is true. Thank u all for your support. Yvonne and I still love and care for each other and want to protect our kids,'' Keating tweeted of the break-up, which took place last year.
Minogue's Australia's Got Talent co-stars Brian McFadden and Kyle Sandilands have also undergone high-profile splits since they started on the series.
Sandilands and wife Tamara Jaber divorced in 2010 - the same year he joined the show.
McFadden broke up with his fiancee, Delta Goodrem, in 2001. He is now happily engaged to DJ and model Vogue Williams.
It's more of the same over at Nine's rival talent show, The Voice.
Only Urban - who has been married to Nicole Kidman since 2006 - has escaped relationship woes since signing on to the new series.
Fellow panellist Seal broke up with his model wife Heidi Klum last month.
The split rocked Hollywood as the couple - who have four children - were widely believed to be one of the happiest and rock-solid unions in Hollywood.
The often put on public displays of affection and renewed their vows each year after they wed in 2005.
Goodrem also recently announced her break-up with teen heart-throb Nick Jonas.
The couple - who had only been dating 10 months - said they remained friends.
Joel Madden and wife Nicole Richie have also been the subject of speculation.
Madden recently dismissed reports he and Richie were separating to pursue careers on opposite sides of the world- Richie on the New York-based Fashion Star series and Madden on Aussie series The Voice.
"I don't usually comment on gossip, but seeing as this is something that is defaming my character and the sanctity of my marriage and family, I feel like I have to make something clear,'' he wrote.
"My wife and my children are the most important thing in the world to me. I try very hard to be the father that (children) Harlow and Sparrow need and deserve, and the husband I believe Nicole deserves."
